I'm trying to remove the headlight but cannot seem to get it out. It's loose but no dice please help.

if the 01s are the same as the 99s (2nd gen) Then there are 3 bolts (use a socket) and 1 screw for each headlight. The screw is right under the corner bulb along with 1 of the bolts. Pop the hood and the other 2 are on the inner side, one on top the other on bottom. The bottom one is kind hard to get to, might have to go under the truck to get at it.

If you have all those out its just a matter of wedging and pulling. It can be a pain but just keep workin it and it'll come out.
