Dodge Repair: 2007 Durango headlight removal, lamp unit, side marker


Question
Trying to install strobes in the headlights but can get the asssembly out. I removed the two screws on the top of unit and the nut behind the assembly via the access panel but something seems to be still holding it in place?

Answer
LAMP



1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Carefully pry up the lower edge of the access panel (1) from the access opening in the front of the front fender liner (2).
3. Lift the lower edge of the access panel upward far enough to access the nut that secures the back of the front lamp unit to the reinforcement in the front fender.







4. Reach through the fender liner access opening to remove the nut (6) that secures the stud (4) on the back of the front lamp unit (3) to the reinforcement of the fender (5).
5. Remove the two screws (1) that secure the top of the lamp to the upper inner reinforcement of the fender.
6. Grasp the lamp firmly and pull straight forward to disengage the ball stud (2) on the back of the lamp from the plastic grommet in the fender reinforcement.







7. Pull the lamp (1) away from the fender far enough to access and disconnect three wire harness connections from the back of the lamp:
a. front park/turn signal bulb socket (2)
b. headlamp bulb (3)
c. side marker bulb socket (4)
8. Remove the front lamp unit from the fender.
