I recently got this truck. The passenger side headlight is out.
I have changed bulbs and lights before. On this truck, you have to remove the entire light and replace it.....okay, the screws in the bezel are round with a tiny o shape in the middle. How do I get these off??
The manual tells me how to change the light, but not how to get these screws off??
I tried....and I don't want to keep trying without knowing what I am doing, for fear I will mess something up. Please help!
Thanks!!Chevy S-10 (1990) Headlight Replacement Question??It sounds like the screws are torx head screws (star shaped). This is a very common GM fastener. The most common size torx for headlight screws is a TX-15. You can get the right torx driver at auto zone or pep boys for around 5 bucks.Chevy S-10 (1990) Headlight Replacement Question??not sureChevy S-10 (1990) Headlight Replacement Question??u need a t-15. (torx 15mm)Chevy S-10 (1990) Headlight Replacement Question??You need a number15 torx screwdriver.Chevy S-10 (1990) Headlight Replacement Question??Theyre called tamper proof Torx. you can get them at any aotu parts store or any place that sells toolsChevy S-10 (1990) Headlight Replacement Question??Go to the auto parts store and get a screw driver for that purpose. Takes a special one.Chevy S-10 (1990) Headlight Replacement Question??I own a shop, and a Blazer. You shouldn't have to take the whole thing out. You might have to remove the grille though. Its not hard, and can be gotten out pretty quick. Its only got 8 screws that hold it in. Once you have the grille off, you can remove the ring around the light, and change it just like any other normal light. You do have to have a torx bit to get the grille, and beauty ring off the headlight with, but they shouldn't be tamper proof unless they aren't meant to be removed to change the bulb. If you must, then you will have to purchase a special bit that is made for tamper proof screws. I'm pretty sure taking the grille off will help you out, and you should see what I'm talking about then.
Glad to help out, good Luck!!!Chevy S-10 (1990) Headlight Replacement Question??t-15 torx bit......auto zone...buy a screw driver type. after bezel is of.....remove only 4 screws holding trim to headight. good luck
