Datlight running lights

[gss036]

I have a 99 Silverado, new body style, I have a daytime running light out on the left side, I thought it would be simple to change but I cannot get to the fixture to change it. Help Please?

1-remove the 2 pins holding headlight  assembly in--pull out to expose light assembly underneath headlight

2-reach down behind running light unit -twist and remove housing

3-remove burnt bulb---remember not to touch new bulb with bare hands--use paper towel or rag --reinsert new bulb and reverse assembly directions above--should be a snap  job---real easy fix

What troyrobo said.  I remember the first time I had to replace one of mine, I looked in there and thought OMG how the heck am I ever gonna get to that?  ???  ???

 

Then I started fooling around, and took a closer look.  It's also spelled out in the owner's manual, strangely enough.  

 

Actually, when you see how slick it works, you feel foolish!!!  And it sure beats having to become a body contortionist!!!

 

BTW, welcome to the site and forum!

:hail: Many thanks, I just knew there had to be a simple way.

I replaced a headlight assembly on a 1996 Ford Tarus for an elderly lady this past weekend, it was kinda like a jigsaw puzzle.

 

Is there one of the Forums here that deal with engines, I would like to read the posts to see if others have had they same situation as I and a friend had with our new trucks.

whats the situation?  Knocking?

 

Try the Light Duty forum or engine forum

:popcorn:  I just wanted to read posts on the subject. I went thru it with my new truck, GM rebuilt the engine at 11K and didn't fix it, then at 15K dropped in a brand new out of the box factory engine. So far no knock(piston slap). I did get a letter on the engine extending the warranty out to 60K / 5yr.

Got a question. what is it with these running lights? I swear I see at least 1 out of 4 GM/chevy trucks with burned out running lights

On my '89 GMC, I run my lights all the time and it was just this year that I had to replace a headlamp.

Are the running lights any better on the '03's?

bought my truck used---only replaced 1 so far-- 1 yr to date------     ------now i've done it---probably have to replace another 1 now that i opened my mouth about it

There is an easy way to change these bulbs.

Look at the light back where it meets the fender

and there is A release tab to take the light right out

of the truck.

 

Hope This Helps
