Changing the lens and or the headlight bulb, the headlight has to be removed. Under the hood, in the area just behind the headlight are two metal tabs. Pull up on these tabs to release the lens assembly. Then work it out. The adjustment for the lamp is in there too, just not accessible from outside the vehicle. Good luck!

It is easy to change them, but remember you will need to make sure they are pointed in the correct area and distance from your truck. They are easy to change as long as you take your time and line up all of the holes correctly.

Before making the decision on expensive headlights, try buffing them with chrome polish. It is cheap and easy, and you may be happy enough with them that you won't have to spend the money on new ones. I did this to mine, and it worked far better then the expensive headlight restoration kits.
