How do you remove the front headlights? by ukon07

I have tried 3x to remove the headlights with no luck. I have contacted the dealer and they were no help at all. Does anyone know how to do it or could point me in the right direction of getting a book. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!

I don't know where you are coming from on this 20" tire information. There is nothing in my owner's manual that states 20" tires are unsuitable for off roading. They seem perfectly fine to me, on road or off.

Seat Covers by firesource

Has anyone found a reputable online source for 2007 OEM Tahoe Seat Covers (GM part #'s 12499941 and 12499916) for the Front Bucket Seats and 2nd Row 60/40 split seats?
 
I have found a wide variety of prices online ranging from $130 - $170 each >>> however none of the sites I have contacted will allow returns (they all consider them special orders) and NONE of them have pictures in the correct color --- Light / Dark Cashmere. Obviously so long as they fit and the color is correct - I do not plan to return, but spending $300+ on items you can see and can't return is difficult.
 
Any help is appreciated!

Like I said when I made the statement, I wasn't sure if it was the Dealer or the Manual, but I was told it isn't recommended to go off road on the 20" wheel... Didn't say it was impossible..

Page 501 of the manual says:
 
20-Inch Tires
If your vehicle has the optional 20-inch P275/55R20 size tires, they are classified as touring tires and are designed for on road use. The low-profile, wide tread design is not recommended for off-road driving. See Off-Road Driving on page 367, for additional information.

Then you are not doing any serious off roading. The 20" tire going thru mud or snow is like dragging a surfboard sideways thru the water. It just doesn't work well. The tire tread is way too wide and the sidewall is way too short to work well in limited traction situations. But if it seems OK to you....well, then, go have some fun.

That opinion may be coming from...well...a vacuum. There is no more technical relevance to it...than just any other personal opinion. Your favorable experience with the 20" set-up is a far better indication of suitabilty....IMHO.

There's really no need to argue over it... if someone wants to go off road on 20" tires let them, its their truck...

ukon07, to remove the entire headlight assembly, there are:
1. Two (2) forward wheelhousing liner screws to remove
2. Two (2) washer container push pins to remove
then you need to open the hood to work the rest:
3. I counted Six (6) upper fascia bolts need to be removed
4. One (1) lower fascia bolt to remove
5. Two (2) fascia to fender bolts (seems only need to loosen rather than totally removed)
6. Two (2) Lower rear fascia bolts to remove from support bracket
7. Two (2) upper headlamps bolts to remove
From this point on, I can not see if there are other bolts/screws that are hidden yet still need to be loosened or removed; but, it looks this is where you need to grab and pull the headlight housing straight out until it disengages from the fender attachment bracket and the locating tab, and the 2 locating pins disengage from the radiator support, and finally the electrical connections... Becareful as the plastic can crack and break easily, especially if is any more screw yet to be removed! Hope this helps a little.
 
Good Luck and have Fun!
 
May I ask why do you want to remove the headlight assembly?
I hope I did not misunderstand your question..

I checked my manual and those pages don't say anything about 20" tires. Just refers to tire replacement on pg. 501 and general off roading advice on 327. We must have 2 different manuals. My manual came with the Yukon in May, '06.
Someone mentioned something about an arguement and if I sounded like I wanted to argue please accept my apology-my comments were not meant that way.
I am just confused I guess.
