Chevy caprice headlight bezel

Unless I'm remembering something wrong this is a very easy repair. The chrome trim that surrounds the two headlights and supports the marker lamp. This chrome trim is held on by four small but long, recessed torx screws. I think a T15 is used but please verify that. Look between the tram and the headlights. In the four inner corners they can be found. They don't stick out but they are there. Good Luck.

These sealed beam headlights have a chrome ring around the outside edge...this ring must be removed by one screw located in the ring...you can just loosen it to remove...usually located at the bottom of the bulb...when this is removed, you will see 2 or 3 springs attached to the bulb...these also need to be removed and you can then slide the bulb out from behind the chrome trim...reinstall in reverse...hope this helps.

You have to remove the trim from around the headlights first. The screws are torx and with them out the bezel should come right out. You will see a chrome ring around the headlight. There will be Philips or star screws holding this on, it's been a while but I think there is 2, one on top and one on bottom. They are short and usually very hard to get out, you may need to use Vice grips to get them turning. You will also see 2 other screws, one on the outside of the light and one on top. DO NOT turn these, they are for your adjustment. With the chrome ring off the light will fall ahead, unplug it and put the new one back in. Put the trim back on. Hope this helps.

There are 4 small screws around the chrome trim ring...they are sometimes a bit hard to get at but usually pretty simple with a flashlight to see well and a good (correct) screw driver...do not drop them...they are tiny and get lost easy...I usually remove the top two, and bend the trim ring down slowly and the buld will come out easily, then unplug the plug from the back and install and do everything in the opposite order for installation.

go to autozone.com this should help with the schematics if not then go to a auto part store and buy a book the book should cost around 11.00$ and should fix your problem :)

It is held on by adhesive. You will have to pry and pull off then take goo gone to the left over glue. it won't hurt your paint.

It is not necessary to remove the entire grill, just the chrome trim piece that extends across both head lights. Use a small flat screwdriver and delicately pry the trim piece towards you.
It is held in place by several small plastic tabs that are located across the entire back side of the trim piece. Be VERY careful in doing this as the chrome piece is very brittle & easily broken or damaged. Once you have the trim removed, you will need to remove 3 bolts that retain the headlight assembly and one press-in tab.
The bolts have 10mm heads. Two are located on the top of the assembly, one on the lower corner. After removing the 3 bolts, pull the headlight forward to dislodge the lower retaining tab which is on the opposite side of the headlight housing from the lower bolt toward the rear of the housing.
Once you have the assembly out, accessing the bulb is simple!


This is not the easiest job to do, so it is a good idea to take painter's tape & protect the paint on the bumper & fender as well as the clear, Lexan part of the headlight assembly. Take your time, be careful, & you will get it right the first time!

You must first remove the Headlamp bezel which is the chrome trim that surrounds the duel headlamp housing. The chrome trim surround is mounted to the Headlamp mount panel with three nuts which you can only access on the inside. Pop open the hood and look on the inside near were the headlamp bulbs are. You will see the three mount nuts for the headlamp bezel. Might be rusty so first give it a shot of WD40 or similar. Remove the nuts and then you can lift the headlamp bezel from the outside away from the headlamp bulbs. The headlamp bezel only has tabs that slid into a slot on the bottom so you can lift out once the top three nuts are removed. Once the headlamp bezel has been removed you can then access the 4 screws that hold the headlamp trim ring in place which is what holds the headlamp bulb in place. There are several other screws that in the same area but they are only for adjustment of the headlamp bulbs within the housing. Leave them in place. Remove the stainless steel ring that is holding the lamp in place, and then unplug the headlamp from the back and replace the headlamp. Should take you less than 5 or 10 minutes. Dan
