Running Light 2001 Tahoe Replacement

[Bowtie45]

How in the world do you remove the housing to replace the running light bulb? It is impossible. No wonder so many of them are out when I see them on the road. Does anyone know how to replace the bulb? Thanks.

I presume your questioning the front running lights. Not a hard concept. Lay on your back with a light and look up and visualize the back side bulb connection. Remove front of inner plastic fender wheel splash cover by popping out the retainer connectors.Reach in there between the inner fender cover and the fender with your hand and twist the bulb connection to the left and pull it out. It will be tight but it can be done. Then again, I hope you don't have big burly hands, could be difficult. Good luck.

I have replaced mine and I found I was able to remove the inner shield behind the bulb and squeeze my hand in (count on a couple scratches) and replace the bulb. The next time it goes I'll try the underside approach. Hope this helps.

There are 2 pins that are around the head light housing. These pins pull out with no tools just your hands and the whole assembly will come out

Good info tyrant33, all there is to it is two pins. Just went out and removed the light assembly in seconds. Been knocking myself out changing these bulbs from underneath. Could of save myself a box of bandaids-----

Where are those pins accessed from?
I am assuming they are for the running/signal light housing.

Nevermind.
These guys just forgot to mention the small detail that the grille has to be removed to access the light box removal.
