How to replace your headlamp
 
I'm amazed by the little information there is on this topic, so here is the how to for replacing your headlamp assembly. The reason why I replaced this particular pair was that the customer wanted them brand new. Enjoy the write up and please comment for any questions.

nice man, i may try a write up when I try to take mine apart and spray them, because the inside reflective surface has all peeled away.

Any experience with issues with the surrounds/bezels? My drivers side broke, I reinstalled it once and it broke again, the hood rubs on it. You think this is a hood alignment problem or maybe the whole headlight assembly needs to move over?

300 degree oven... ( wife away at her mothers) lots of air freshener before she returns....

Lol to the above post. If you do remove the lens with the oven please video both the removing of the lens and the returning of the wife. For learning purposes of course!
