Hi, All this weekend I had to change my headlamp on the drivers side of a 1998 S-10 with the 2.2L 4 cylinder. I took out the air cleaner box, then I had to remove the 2 screws next to the top adjuster. I was then able to tilt the haedlight down to gain access. But it was very tight and not easy to change. Is there an easier way to do this? It took me quite some time and was wondering if the driver side is just as hard.

Thanks Mike, But I don't think my truck has those clips. Maybe GM realized it was an issue and made an improvement. But I will check to make sure. Thanks for the pics they were very clear. Bob

Thanks Guys! I checked my truck and it does indeed have those clips! Wish I had known that before changing the headlamp!
