Wow, I am debating just buying a good HID kit if I have to go through this much hassle. They are supposed to last longer than regular bulbs, plus I always seem to blow out my Sylvania bulbs every time I plow the driveway from the vibration. At least I did in the 1500, maybe the new 2500 will plow nicer and not blow out my headlights as much. Although I could install new bulbs in like 45 seconds in the old style headlights. Guess they needed to make everything more difficult..................thanks for the replies, I just thought it was me being a dufuss.......................

Okay I give up, I am fairly mechanically inclined but I cannot get the %$^# headlights out of my new truck. My 2004 took about 30 seconds to pull the headlights. Somehow these seem to be tied into the fender somehow. I unscrew the 2 bolts and unscrew the grill bolts and pop the inside of the headlight out from the bottom catch, but that's it. I have it past the grill but it hung up by the fender and the fascia below the headlight. What am I missing, this can't be that hard...................I just know I am going to get rammy and break something soon..................... Thanks

Depends on what wheel tire combo you have. 20s are 75rear 65front and 20% is right so that's minimum 60rear 52 fronts. I had the dealer remove the 20s and put the 18s on my truck when I bought it which are 70rear and 60front which work out to minimum 56rear 48fronts. They would only reprogram to the GM specs for the 18" wheel tire combo. Even though I explained technically I replaced the factory installed wheels and tires with something other than what came on it stock. Didn't matter they wouldn't do it. I just wanted another 5lbs lower. I worked around it. Empty there is no need for the backs to be above 50. I have been hauling and towing all my life, I know how to regulate air pressures based on usage.
