Wanting to replace left headlight bulb in my 2002 Dodge Ram - JustAnswer

They show 2 out of 3 on here. They are all the same, so the 3rd will be easy to find.

Thanks,
It is at the bottom and very back of the side lens. I may have had to take it out to get to the rear bolt because my bumper is apparently sitting higher than it should on that side. You don't need to mess with anything other than the lens housing to get it out. I just went out and checked both sides of mine. The one side I could have gotten out without taking the side marker out but the one I replaced I needed the room to get to the bolt because of the bumper. The screw for the side lens is just forward of the back bolt.

Thanks all,
I did attempt this operation on the weekend. It worked great except for the fact that I can't get the headlight OUT from behind the bumper.
My options are to drive around with water in the headlamp or drop the bumper....looks like I'll be driving around with water in the headlamp.

Default light removal

The marker light is held to the headlight by a phillips head screw.The headlight is held by 3 bolts 10mm head,yes probably easier to drop the bumper down to get it out. My 1995 they came off easily,My 1998&2001 had to drop the bumper
