Default New headlights

I ordered a set of the Harley style headlight housings of eBay for my 06. Should be here soon. Are they very difficult to replace. I haven't popped the hood on my truck to see what all is involved. I read a thread somewhere that a guy broke his adjustment screw trying to remove his old set.

If its the whole headlight assembly then it's easy, three bolts and it's out

make sure to move the truck down the driveway a bit and mark the location of the stock lights, the top of the beam that is (against a wall/garage door), and then when you change the housings you can adjust the new ones to where the stockers were!

Knowing my luck, I would get the old ones out before I realized I didn't mark the beams .

No problem, mentioned it cause I did that exact thing when I got the new housings for my mustang, and then was like, why are these beams so low, and had to redo everything to get the bulbs at stock height!
