Turn signal bulb replacement

[StickyLifter]

Hi Everybody,

I'm sorry if this has been discussed already. I searched but didn't find anything.

I have a 1984 Sierra with four headlights. I need to replace the left turn signal bulb. It looks like I may need to take the grill off, but I wanted to ask in case I'm missing something.

Thank you,
John

On my old 84 k10 and k5, when I replaced the headlights, I believe I recall having to remove the grill because it's got the little spring that holds it down in addition to the two beam adjustment screws.
It's a sealed beam type.

If you can't get your hand up behind the bumper to reach the signal light you will have to remove the grille.

The spring and the adjusters should have noting to do with replacing a headlight. Never seen a vehicle that makes you mess with adjustments to replace a bulb. Should have a trim around the edge of the bulb that attaches it to the part the has the spring and adjusters holding it in place.

Ah yea, you're right. I wasn't thinking about that, it's been a while since I've had a 4 head light truck

Wasn't the original post about replacing a turn signal bulb, not a headlight ?
I believe they are different.

I got a headlight assembly from an 87 I parted out.

Remove those 4 screws if you can get to them

We all have brain farts from time to time.
As long as it all works out well in the end, all is good.

I just installed my 4 light grill and the turn signal lights appear to be difficult to change with the grill installed. The grill has three screws on the bottom, middle screw facing up. The five remaining screws attach through the top of the radiator support. It might be possible by just removing the headlight bezels?
