There are screws just above the bumper and below the turn signal, two of them I think. Silverstars are nice but when I had them in another truck they would burn out after about a year. That might have been due to the daytime running lamps though come to think of it. You can buy the bright bulbs through advance autoparts online and use a discount code and get 20% off if that helps.

I appreciate all the options except for the peanut butter one. My neighbor saw me smearing peanut butter on my lenses. I know he thought I was a nutjob before but I think I have just confirmed it. I am popular with the neighborhood dogs though.
I am going to pull the lenses out of the 03 and switch them over and buy new bulbs. I don't want to modify anything. I am looking for plug-n-play. Any tips for the brightest bulbs that are reasonably priced?
Besides the 2 tabs that slide up, is there another catch? I couldn't get them to come out. I know I am missing something.

Check whatever you want. I ordered the truck myself with EVERY AVAILABLE OPTION except shift on the fly. Camper package, towing package, PTO provision, even a rear bumper because it wasn't standard.

I appreciate you masking your disagreement and not overtly attacking, like some places might allow, but even a post that's dripping with sarcasm can cause friction and drama.
That's appreciated, thanks.

According to these guys
Upgrade for 9007 bulb, Phillips Xtreme Vision life?
This is what you want
I used them and did notice a slight improvement, nothing dramatic but definitely better
And this thread has my pictures

In all honesty looking back, I wished I kept that truck.
