Removing the Headlights and Grille on your RAM 1500 2500 3500 – DIY HOW TO

The job is fairly straightforward but it a bit labor intensive for just having to replace a bulb inside your headlight on the truck. This is the way the truck is designed unfortunately but hopefully this helps show you the process!

And I thought replacing the bulbs on my Silverado was a pain in the ass , What a piss poor design but appreciate the info !

David Garza says:

What size rims and tires do you have?

Stephen Gregory says:

Why does this need to be so fuckin complicated? Why can't Ram just make a goddamn twist on twist off lightbulb like EVERY OTHER FUCKING MANUFACTURER ON EARTH

Pisses me off I have to disassemble my entire fucking front end to change a damn light bulb

By the way, you DO NOT need to remove the light from the harness. I now broke the fucking clip and all I had to do was remove the little panel on the back once I got the assembly out. You're getting a lot of praise on here but this was NOT the best video

Wait, no trim removal tool to use on those tabs?

Blue Ox says:

I dunno why they gotta make it so difficult.
Back in the 70s & 80s you just loosened the screws holding the headlight itself and slap a new one in there. Easy peasy.

Zachary says:

Thanks for the video it was so easy to follow

Desiree Martinez says:

I cannot feel the white clip… I think I got the pink one but I’m not sure what color feels like…is something wrong with me…? I can’t feel color!! Help

PETR VASICEK says:

Really??? – This is only way to change light bulb?That was " genius" ingeneer who did this. I do have a deer protective bar on front , winch and that all have to go off for replace one light bulb – stupid. two – plus hours work. My old Ram VAN 2500 – replace hed lamp bulb 20-30 seconds. Anyway – you did a great job to explain step by step

Heather Hales says:

Troy Castellano says:

Holy shit that's a lot of disassembly for replacing a headlight!

Olivier Gagnon says:

Thanks for the video, came in handy to upgrade to LEDs and I needed the grille off to wire in a light bar.

I saw another how-to without removing the grille to get to lights, but if you have a 12V impact, ie Milwaukee M12, the grille comes off in literally 90 seconds.
