Today I noticed my passenger side low beam headlight is out now. How do I change the headlight on this truck? Please remember I've never changed a light on this old of a truck. Is it any different than a "newer truck"?
Thank you for your help

Re: Passenger Side Headlight
Got it done today. It was way easy too but I do like to know what I'm getting into before I do something. Got a different brand light than the other side as I couldn't find GE lights anywhere. Hard to tell the difference though.

Re: Passenger Side Headlight
Aside from the expensive halogen retrofit lights that LMC/DC sells, is there any other options for improving the lighting on these? Either a replacement 100W sealed beam or something like the retrofit that is in the 'harbor frieght' price range?

Re: Passenger Side Headlight
Well, one step up from the incandescent sealed beams are the Halogen sealed beams (#6024) like the Xtravision, Cool Blue and Silverstar by Sylvania. I think GE Nighthawk is also halogen.motzingg wrote:Aside from the expensive halogen retrofit lights that LMC/DC sells, is there any other options for improving the lighting on these?
