    Whole headlight assembly off for replacing bulbs?

    So I have some new bulbs on the way, just to freshen up the look honestly get a little better visibility out of my rig. Ive got Hi's, Lo's and fogs to switch out.

    Well the service manual says I have to take the whole headlight assembly off the jeep to change the bulb, is this true? I have changed bulbs before in other cars, while it was tight, I could manage without removing the whole assembly.

    Anyone else have tips or tricks to get the job done? Probably going to be putting these in later this week.

    Not a problem. Even if they do need to come out on a WK that's not hard to do

    Yeah... Im thinking they probably dont. I was looking and there is that little cover above that comes off so It should be a 20 min job tops for all bulbs
