I believe the owners manual had diagrams/instructions in the back, cant remeber what specific pages though.
 






Are you looking to get the whole headlight/marker light housing out of the truck, or are you trying to get the lens off of the housing?

The first part is pretty easy, I've done it a couple of times. IIRC you can see the screws that you need to take off when the hood is up.
If you're trying to do the latter, though, I'm not sure, because I haven't tried, but I think it might be like the taillights on the Vic where you need to pry it out and then use some type of adhesive to hold the new one in.
 






Pull 2 screws off the top of the parking/turn lenses, then pop them off forward. Headlights use a needle nose pliers to squeeze the black arrow-shaped retainers together and pop the lenses off the adjusters.
 






Alrighty thanks guys, im thinking about buying new headlights and parking/turn lenses. Not OEM ofcourse, im looking at some black faced ones.
 






As I mentioned to you in your post on 2-6-08 in the Lighting forum in the FAQs there is a description of how to remove the headlights.
Must be you missed that.
