Default Head lamp replacement on my 07 Tahoe

Can someone explain to me in good detail how in the world do I replace these headlamps? I tried searching for an old thread I remember seeing with decent pics showing where and how to change the lamps out. My headlights havent burned out yet, they are the original ones when I bought the SUV, back on April of '06, its a pre-07 model. And knowing my luck they'll burn out when at the worst moment, so I want to be prepared as much as possible. So can anyone chime in, maybe you guys with the HID's installed on your 07 Tahoes, Thanks!

try this


1. Remove the 2 forward wheelhouse liner screws in order to access the hidden lower headlamp bolt.
2. Open the hood
3. Remove the upper fascia bolts
4. Remove the lower rear fascia bolt from the support bracket.
5. Loosen the 2 fascia to fender bolts from behind the wheelhouse liner.
6. Pull the outboard end of the front fascia straight outboard until it disengages from the fender attachment bracket.
7. Pull the fascia forward and downward to allow enough clearance to remove the headlamp assembly.
8. Remove the 2 upper headlamp bolts
9. Grasp the headlamp at the upper inboard and lower outboard side and pull the headlamp forward to disengage the locating pins from the fender panel.
10. Pull the outboard side of the headlamp forward until the locating pin is disengaged from the radiator support.
11. Disconnect the electrical harness connector.

I liked post #6 in your thread and printed it out for future reference but have not tried it yet.
