You should be able to reach them by removing the 2 pins that hold the headlights in and remove the headlights.

That's what I did. Once you pull the pins and get the headlights up you can easily get to the DRL bulbs. :jester:

You do know the DRL/turn signal asy. comes out just as easy as the headlight asy, didn't you? Pull the pins and the headlight asy out, and unplug the connectors. Set the headlight asy. aside, then look on the outboard end of the DRL asy, on the backside, and you will see where it clips into a notch. Push the plastic lever and pull towards you, swinging out at the same time, and the other end will come out of where it is hooked into another slot. Hard to describe, but if you look at it, you will see it's a very easy job, and requires NO tools. Gotta love these trucks, huh? You can take just about the whole front end of the truck apart with only a phillips screwdriver, and your bare hands.

 

You can change the DRL bulbs without removing the DRL/turn signal asy, but you'll play hell getting your fingers in there to undo the bulb holder. Much easier to pull the whole asy out.

I just fugured it out. Man do i feel stupid for even asking this question!

Don't feel bad, do a search on headlight related posts, and you will see that there have been quite a few that were banging their heads for hours on just removing the headlights....When they found out that they didn't even need tools to remove them....They had the same reaction that you did.

 

This is a great board.

I love the new headlight design vs. the 92 Jimmy I had. I used to have to take off the grille to change bulbs. That got old in a hurry.

      6.2L L87 Powertrain Engine Noise (Lifter Failure) Question

      By clowe1243 · Posted

      Got the truck back today.  Called them yesterday to get an update, and miraculously my truck is finished?!?! The $13k out the door was complete bullshit!  Ended up being over $14k.  They added some bullshit service bulletin that I cant even find, where they replaced my radiator without telling me or asking me, and charging me for it.  Need to do more research into it, cause they leaked the first delivered radiator was ran over by FedEX.  Sounds like bullshit to me. 2.5 Months for an engine swap, which ended up being remanufactured, not new; ****ing ridiculous.  Brakes are squishy as hell, not sure if its from sitting.  Will give a couple days to see it that figures it self out.  GAVE IT BACK TO ME WITH 1 GALLON OF GAS!  Just filled the tank the day before drop off, more bullshit.  My dash cam SD card was formatted, not really much I can do about that. 3 year, 100k GM warranty at least.  Time to sell it and say **** off to GM.  Bad experience.  Cant wait for the survey email to come through.  Overpriced Raptor R, here I come!

      Radio Update

      If I forget the phone in the truck, and forget the truck in the phone, and reconnect.  It works great for the day.  Truck sits overnight, and the next day is a no go.  It will connect Android Auto via usb cable, but not bluetooth.   Ive tried Everything in this thread so far, and nothing works for more than a day.   I think I might have to go to the dealer and have them flash the pcm.   thanks for all the suggestions guys. 👍

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      2022 2500HD Crew Z71 Duramax single alternator.  Recently had the primary (water pump / fan) belt tensioner pulley bearing to fail while hundreds of miles from home of course the plastic pulley melted and belt shredded which took out some wiring. Found a replacement tensioner assembly and belt to continue now would like to find a replacement for just the pulley and bearing to have a spare assembly in case of a repeat, the rest of the tensioner is fine. Has anybody here found a correct replacement part for just the pulley and bearing? Any help is appreciated.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Atlas · Posted

      +1 for the 3.0   Perfect for 1500 pickup towing duties.   Perfect engine for a 1500 pickup period. Huge torque at stunningly low RPM makes it feel a lot lighter than it is. The fuel mileage is insane for a tall and heavy 1500... 30+ on the highway. Mid 20's around town.   It's probably not perfect if you bought a 6.2 for the braaaaaaapppppp V8 noises and wrapping it out to 6k. The LZ0 acts and sounds like a small turbo diesel and there's nothing you can do to make a small turbo diesel sound like a big one, and you can't make an inline diesel sound like a V8 diesel/big Duramax. It's a different driving experience altogether.   Drive one, I think you'll like it, though...

      Metal shavings on dipstick and filter

      I'll bet your truck lost the bearings on a roller on 1 of the lifters, and now is wiping out a cam lobe.
