can anyone tell me how to take out the drivers side headlight assembly i need to put in a new aftermarket assembly (thanks)

You need to remove the front grill assembly (it pops out with about 7-8 snap clips...one on each headlight). Then, there are two little metal slides on each side of the headlight in the back. You need to slide both of them up, and the headlight will pop right off. Disconnect the wires, and you are set.

BTW, I ordered the full set of manuals for the truck...wow! Talk about one advanced vehicle! I've been reading the damn thing every night for almost a week now...lots more to go! :)
