Don't have my truck yet so I'll qualify this with "I'm only going on whats in the owners manual". Starting on page 94, it shows that you have to first remove the grill, then the headlight assembly to replace the bulbs.

Epic has a great vid on how to remove the grill. Looks pretty easy.

Super easy and the video's are great! Thanks...
I just wonder what the kids and their friends have to say about it..."Where's your Dad?" "Out in the garage talking to himself again!" "And filming it to boot!" "Your Dad's weird!"

Ha ha... They're used to it. I make a lot more than just truck related videos. We can hardly go anywhere without me pulling out the GoPro and then turning out a quick video. Photos are just so pasé...
