How to Replace Parking Lights 2003-06 Chevy Silverado

One of the first things you need to do is pop your hood. Once you've done that, go ahead and grab on to this right here, flip it up, go ahead and draw it away. You might have to tilt it down to get it underneath there. Grab your headlamp assembly. Carefully pull it away. And then if you were to look at the back, you're going to see the pigtails for the headlamps. Go ahead and grab that. Turn it counterclockwise. Carefully remove it. Do the same to the other one.

Now that that headlamp is out of the way, we have a clear view of what's going on down here. If you were to look right where my screwdriver is, there's a little tab. You're going to press that towards the outer portion of the fender, and then draw the assembly away. Maybe I'll try it once just so you can see. Press it. Draw it away. There we are. Go ahead and grab onto these. If you squeeze this tab right here, it should unlock, and then you can twist it. Do the same for this one, and then, of course, the marker at the end, you just twist that.

So, now we're going to get our new lamp assembly back in. Go ahead and grab this. Go ahead and turn it in. Lock it. Give it a nice wiggle. Let's get our directional bulb in here. Go ahead and twist it. Lock it in. This one, little less reach here. Lock that one in as well. Perfect. Now, when you go to install this, on the inner portion, you're going to see there's a little hookie-do. That needs to slide in over there. So, we'll go ahead and get the hookie-do into where it's supposed to sit. And then if you look right here, we're going to line this up and then carefully press it in. Make sure it's locked in. This feels great.

Now, it's going to be time to install the headlamp. Go ahead and grab these bulbs. Start them. Line them up. Twist it. Lock it in. Do the same to the other. Okay. Now we're just going to come around the backside of the grille here just like this. Come up and over that, and then rest this right in. This should line up right along there, and then this should line up right down here. Now we're going to get our pin in here. It's a good idea to just clean it up if you can get off any other rust that might be on it. Get it close to where I want it. Now I'm just going to bring the headlamp over. Squeeze this in. Bring it right on through. Line it up with this one. Flip this over. All right. So, now it's going to be time to test these lights. We've got our headlights on. We've got some high beams. Check that directional. Make sure it works. Perfect.
