In this DODGE DAKOTA HEADLIGHT REMOVAL REPLACEMENT we take out the headlights on this truck and replace them with DEPO upgraded black housing headlights. The headlights are the same for a 1997 to 2004 Dodge Dakota as well as a 1998 to 2004 Dodge Durango. They are a bit tricky to remove but once you see how they come out its pretty simple. We adjust the bumper as well so that our headlight gap is even on both sides and reinstall the new black housing headlights. We will also be upgrading the halogen light bulbs to LED soon but for now you can see what these upgraded headlights look like with just standard halogen bulbs.

Here are the DEPO headlights we installed:

how'd you get the headlights with the clear side marker im not a fan of the orange

@Wakeupandsniffthecoffee 2 года назад

There is a screw to separate the turn signal and running light from the headlight. I'm glad you pointed that out.

@levigrafton6854 2 года назад

Glad I saw this comment, I missed that in the video and the after market headlights have a different turn signal setup. Also that bolt looks like a bitch lol

@toothytube 2 года назад

Unfortunately, he did not "point out" the fact that there are also two retaining clips that need to be depressed if the assembly is still fully functional. In this case, the clips were either damaged, broken, or defective. You can not remove the turn signal assembly by simply removing the #10 Torx screw if those two retaining clips are in proper working order.

@montgomeryfitzpatrick473 Год назад

Took 2 trips to the store to get right bit for that screw, I'm a plumber and nothing in multipacks of bits fit in in a bit holder. Got long T15 only to find out it's T10, owners manual doesn't specify 🤦🏼‍♂️

Oh thank god You just saved me so much time. My headlights was so easy to get out on my 2001 dodge Dakota. Thanks man!

You can also remove the parking light on the stock headlights to get the headlight out easier

@chaz13748 2 года назад

Those are the headlights I'm swapping out!! This video is PERFECT THANK YOU

@muttbone01 28 дней назад

The upper an lower headlight assembly is actually 2 pieces (at least from OEM), so you can remove the lower to rotate the bulb out. The video covers this fact a bit later, but thought I'd post it in case TLDR.

@barrytatatek5810 4 года назад

I just bought replacement headlights for 1997 Dakota and seen the bottom bolt is hard to get to. You just showed an easier way to remove it. Thank you Great job.

Lol that is exactly how my bumper is on my 2001 dodge dakota V8 sport. I bought some headlights and again broken screws on them so can’t even adjust them though. My driver side sits well for alignment passenger doesn’t sit well but that is also the one with a broke screw that broke out of the assembly.

@DarrensTruckzs 5 лет назад

Righton .. intrested to see with the new headlight bulbs,an I’m jus trying to understand one part !!?? Did you only have to use those screw on brackets that came with them .. therefor not have to use old brackets off old headlights ? Sorry Im gettin tired lol as it’s late here in my part of the land an my brain is slowing down lol.. I think the Dakota will look much better too when you get your other size tires on those ones jus look too big,curious to see what size an type you go with .. keep up the good build an good content coming I’m enjoying ! 👍

@Extinction.of.Innocense 2 года назад

Renewed mine by vibrating sanding just the headlight lense and then used a micro polishing compound. Look as new. Snip off the 3 nibs 220 grit till it felt like 220 400 grit till it felt like 400 800 grit............................. Polished and buffed with micro polishing compound. Look as new. It took a while but with some sweat equity you could save $$$$$$.

@fmsida 5 лет назад

With those new shrouds, LED's are going to blind people in front of you and incoming traffic. Might look cool, but I would reconsider a different option. My suggestion, open those new headlights and add a proper HID installation with projectors and ballast.

Couldn't find the LED conversion video for this truck, just bought some and installed the rear LED but am getting the dreaded hyperflash. My Dak is an 01 so I think LED Flasher Modules is different for 2000 and earlier but really wanted to see your experience with it before I installed the front ones. A link or advice would be great if possible. TIA

There is a T10 Torx screw between the headlight and the marker lenses.

@Sam-lh7uh 4 года назад

2:14 almost every dakota on the east coast has a rust issue on the inner bottom part of the fender here. be sure when washing your dakota to clean up under the hood up inside the fenders, as they are prone to collecting dirt grit and road salt. notice how clean boosted's is, cali doesnt share the corrosion issues the east coast does. EVERY pick a part junkyard in the DC area has dakotas, but its rare to find one with intact front fenders. ALL IT TAKES IS 5min extra when washing to make these trucks last FOREVER.

@Sam-lh7uh 4 года назад

for the ram youll need a canbus kit. LED headlights have come a long way, and might be easier for your ram! take a look on amazon, and be sure to check the fourms for your year of ram + canbus HID swap or CANBUS LED swap + your year of ram

@muko2002 4 года назад

Best way to identify it could be just going to a Dodge Dealership with this video and playback the video to the person behind the counter. They may be able to pull up some schematics and might be able to identify that clip...can't hurt to try.
