Yeah, I agree. Just to change the headlight bulbs, you have to remove the grill, upper shroud and other stuff. And that is for a single bulb! I figure unless I want to live with the pathetic lights that are the truck, I might as well bite-the-bullet and replace the entire assembly since I'm already do labor.
The LED headlights are about an $1100 option when you purchase the trucks new which I thought was outrageous. Not such a bad deal after looking what it takes to do an upgrade later.
