Replacing headlight cover - Diesel Forum

Anyone have to replace an X headlight cover yet? I cracked mine on a six point buck last fall and I finally got tired of seeing all the moisture in the light. Do you have to buy the whole assembly or can you just get the cover? Also, how does the assembly come out of the vehicle. I tried a search but had no luck. Thanks!

too bad you now have to buy a new cover, but on the bright side you get to buy the 2002 assembly. its not too bad to change them out first you remove the two top clips by pulling them up, the best way is to stick a good black wire tie thru them and left up with your klien's, its the bottom one that is a bit of a bugger, I used a 14 mm 12 point socket to slid over it and press in thoise little finger then just pull the whole assembly out.

You can replace the assembly with the new 2002 style or stick with the 2000-2001 style. If you switch, you will want to do both sides. There are used 2000-2001 styles available on ebay and this sites for sale section.

Good luck and I hope this helps,
