Default Stupid 1997 Headlight Question

Hey all,

Just wondering exactly how the headlights come out on a 1997 Blazer. The running lamp just pops right out if you stick your arm down there and turn it, but the headlight lamp is right up against a piece of metal. Seems a little bit extreme to have to pull out the adjustment screws to change a bulb, but I can't see any other way.

Any help would be great,
Thanks,
Phil

I'm not too sure about the '97 Blazer, but on my Bravada, there are 2 plastic clips behind each headlight on the backside of the radiator core support that get pulled up. Once these have been removed, the whole headlight assembly can be pulled straight out the front.

Like I said though, I do not know if this is how your headlights are held on.

What year is your Bravada?? I believe the headlight system changed from 98 on, but I'm not exactly sure. If anybody knows, I would love to know if there is an easy solution.

You have either one of two choices

1. Take out the two pins (covered by rubber at the top) that are used to adjust the headlight and then wiggle it out of the front grill (carefully)

or

2. Take a (I think either 9mm or 10mm socket) and take out the six bolts holding in the grill then loosen the headlights to take them off (I find this way to be easier cause then you can see the headlights and place the pins back in easily re-aligning the headlights.

In all its a very simple process (but don't try to put clear corners in them its such a pain in the a$$)
