I cannot speak for all vehicles but in the case of Chevy trucks you absolutely can replace the lenses. As a matter of fact I've done the headlights, front marker lights and tail lights on my 1996 Suburban. I can replace every lense on the vehicle should I need to.

The entire light head unscrews from the rubberized body. If you are looking at the lens, you will turn the head counterclockwise while holding onto the rubber body. It may be very tight. The head will stay as one piece. You can then put in your fresh batteries. Good luck.

I believe you can remove the lens by prying it up at the slotted portion and then replace the bulb.

No!!! They replace the headlights of your pickup, remove stock lights and replace with these.

The manual says: "Insert a small flat-bladed screwdriver into the slot at one end of the light lens. Carefully pry the lens out." I would use a rag of some kind of padding between the lens and the housing when prying. Good luck!

There is a hex bolt (you'll need a nut driver or small wrench) that's available once you open the hatch. Once this is out, lift the assembly away from the door opening. At the far edge of the light (farthest away from the hex bolt) there's a prong on the inside of the lens assembly that fits into a socket in the body of the car.

You can take the spring off the bulb, or you can use a drill press and drill out the lens housing. There are videos on YouTube that show both options.

No, not if mounted correctly and factory style tail lights are used. Thank you!

It came to me as a single piece. I've had to replace two of the lights due to rock damage. When the lens brakes the light goes out. It is easy to replace and I found when you go the the dealer it will cost twice as much if they do it. Cheaper to do it your self.

2006 mega cab here. My originals have plastic lenses which I now have to replace. Mounting brackets are plastic too. Broke the light's mounting brackets when I accidentally ran over some type of box turtle. :-( It was a hell of a runover. It did cause my alternator to work at 100% again for the time being. Someone I know has a 2002 ram 1500. His are glass.

You will have to find out from the people that you had purchased the items from. My flashlights are still working fine, so I wouldn't know . Find out from the company if you can just purchase that part only.

Remove prior to using. If you don't remove them, they will obstruct the light from the bulbs negating the benefits of having the extra lighting, plus the heat from the light will melt the lens cover.

I just replaced one myself, you want to use the 78mm. First shut the power off to the unit. It will require a light weight glove or napkin as you do not want to touch the bulb with your fingers as your skin oils will eventually destroy the bulb, a phillips head screw driver and a standard flat head screw driver to open the lens cover. Replacing the bulb is a snap, you just have to push the old bulb to one side or the other as the light sockets are spring loaded. Set one side in the socket and lightly push it inward and then lock it in to the other socket, secure your lens and restore the power to your unit and test your light.

there is a slide cover on the inside of the lens holder, very easy to replace, just refer to you owners manual.

It is a "plug and Play", five minute deal. Remove the tail light lens, remove the existing bulb, plug in the LED pigtail and replace the lens, it's that easy, and you want believe the diffrence until you see it !! I have had this light on my last two motorcycles and would not want one without it.

Yes, you can. I do it all the time and have for years.I keep my lenses for two weeks before I throw them away.

No, you just detach yours first to remove then reinstall them after you put the new headlights.
