Is there a headlight Thread?
Did a search but didn't find anything. I need to replace a headlight and don't have an owners manual. Can someone here point me in the right direction on how to do it? Do you have to take the assembly apart or is it a simple remove/reinstall? Thanks!

Manually rotate the headlight 1/2 way up so you can access the 4 screws that hold the cover on. Remove the cover, being careful not to scratch the painted surface, then finish rotating the headlight all the way up. Then remove the 4 screws that hold the headlight bezel on; this holds the housing in place. They are sealed-beam headlamps, so you have to buy a whole new bulb/reflector unit, and just plug it back in. Then re-assemble in reverse order.

Got it done. They're cheap too so I went ahead and replaced both of them. One must've been the original because the rear of the light was plastic and it was much lighter than the other even though they were the same Wagoner units. The one I think was original was the one that sill worked! Replaced them with Sylvania's.
