Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

In this video, we're going to show you how to service the lower front light. This is the side marker light, the signal light, as well as your daytime driving lights. We'll show you both changing the bulbs, as well as if you want to replace it with a whole new assembly from 1A Auto. If you go for it, a new set of lights on the front end of your truck will take miles off, make it look a whole lot better, and help you see better at night. You won't need any tools for this. You may want a flat blade screwdriver.

Open up the hood by pulling the lever here. Reach under the center of the hood, you'll see a little lever right here. Push it towards the center of the truck and lift up.

The headlights are pretty easy. There's actually a little lock bar right here. Pull it up out of the clip. You might have to work it back and forth as you pull it towards the center of the truck. This pulls right out, and then your headlight tilts back and out. Right in behind, your headlights are connected. You don't have to have the battery disconnected. As long as the truck's off, there's no power going through here. Just pull back on these tabs and push off the connectors, and your whole assembly comes out.

Now if you're just looking to change the amber signal bulb, it's right here. There's a little tab. Press down, twist counterclockwise, and that comes out. Twist back in to lock it. Do the same thing, here, with your driving light: on the little tab, push down, twist counterclockwise, and that can come out. I've pulled that out for right now.

If you want to remove the whole assembly, just push the little tab right here. Push this tab towards the outside of the truck. Most of the time I'm able to push this tab just with my fingers and pull the light out, but it's possible you may want to use a flat blade screwdriver, here, to help you push on the tab, and then even twist it a little bit to help pry that tab from the body of the truck. The whole thing comes out. Disconnect here. Your marker light is down here, just twist it counterclockwise, pull that out, and the whole marker comes out.

Just to show you, here, on these bulbs, I just pull right out of their sockets like that, and they go back in.

Reinstall the new light from 1A Auto. It's going to go in just like the original. Put your marker in first. Push through the signal bulb, and your other bulb. There's a tab right here on the inside, make sure it goes into the radiator support. Then just watch this tab go right in, and it snaps right in place.

f you had some damage or your lights are clouded or faded, the new light from 1A Auto is going to go in there just like the original. It plugs in. The bulbs plug in just like the originals. On the bottom, there are two tabs that go into slots here, so you kind of feed it in behind the grill, and peek back in there so you can see those tabs going into the right spots. Once they're in, then, line it up right here. Push it back in, put the pin in and through, and just push it through until it locks down in place again. Then, for the new light, peel off the plastic covering.
