Light install..

[Badfish]

I justbought some xenon bulbs for headlights and fogs...anyone have anyinstructions or experiance with installing new bulbs? thanks.

Dont touch bulbs with your fingertips as oils in you fingers or anything else will lower the life of the bulb. Make sure its clean before you install.

thanks for that info

[Badfish]

anyone else got some tips?

Be carefull changing the fogs because you can pull out one or more of the 3 screws that hold it in place and its a son of a b1tch to change it. It took me 3 hours to get my new clear fogs in place and they still arent fully locked in and that was on a lift.

Other than that they are easy to change both the headlight and fog bulbs.

[Badfish]

so do i need a lift for the fogs? is there anyway to do it strait on the ground?

[StangMan04]

get rhino ramps, much easier, u can do it without a lift but no arm room

[MattJ]

If you are just changing the bulbs a ramp and mabye a sliding floor rest for the fogs but if you are completely swapping out the fogs lights, a lift is your best bet because you have VERY LITTLE room to work with.

just the bulbs...and thanks for the advice...i will...who sells cheap, but reliable ramps i cold use?

Just go get some of the metal rhino ramp things. I dont like the word cheap involved anywhere with something that is going to keep my 3500 lb car from coming down on me. Just get some sturdy ones, dont just get the cheapest. And the headlight thing, just pull the two straight metal things that hold the headlight housing in, then unscrew the little plastic bulb holder. Make sure to do one side at a time so if you forget how it goes back together, you have a guide. And be careful with the bulbs, theyll blow up in your face and that equals a trip to the hospital.

Why do yall need ramps to change fog light bulbs? ...I just get some card board for me to lay on and stick my hands underneath the bumper along with some safety glases to keep the dirt from the bumper out of my eyes and make sure the pins on the fogs light bulb align and turn!:dontknow:...It took me like 5 minutes to replace one of my burnt ones!...headlights are even easier..just pull the pins that hold the headlight in place and remove the headlamps and remove the old bulbs, replace with new...simple plug and play..! C'mon guys if I can do it..anyone Can..

With daylight?...its not exactly dark down there! Plus all you have to do is see where the bulb is and just stick you hand down there and twist and pull! You guys make things complicated! :boxing:

About those ramps, just go buy some real ones, especially with the cost of wood these days, its getter rediculous. Its prolly cheaper to buy good ones than it is to build them, unless the wood is free. Look around at garage sales, there is prolly someone looking to get rid of some.
