SOURCE: I need help in changing headlight bulb on 2008 gmc

You have to remove the air intake filter and then kind of reach around up in there to change it. It can be done, but is a lot of work. On the duramax, it is even harder to do the driver side because of the dual batteries. You have to remove the battery, then the battery seat plate, and undo the winshield washer fluid tank and lean it forward. Then you can just sort of reach in and change both headlights. A very big pain to change a couple of headlights, but if you want HID's.... for the average person, changing a headlight now means a trip to that garage.

What I did was remove the air filter casing. It pops out. slide over the casing and you have access to the lightbulb.
twist off the bulb assembly and pull off the bulb to replace it.

I can't get the pins of the headlights out to change a low beam bulb on the drivers side. Do you have to remove the battery? I have a 2005 Sierra 1500 GMC.

You can get access from behind without removing the light. Better to let the rods with penetrating fluid on it and work them free.
