need to replace both sealed beam headlights after a semi loaded with gravel was spilling out onto the road and holed my headlights. looks a bit tricky. do i need to take off the grill in order to get to the screws holding the headlight in ?

Yes the grill need sto come out , Did mine a couple of weeks ago wasn't to bad of a job . I Didnt take the grill off completely but gave myself enough room to get the glass out . Make sure you replace them with semi sealed glass then you can go and buy yourself some decent globes and change them , When required , Iam running narve high powered globes which is a great improvment . Worth the effort

did it without removing the grill. just need to get the screwdriver between the small gaps around the headlight. a bit tricky but did it. then went for a drive out bush for the weekend and hit a roo. stoved all the front in. roo bar, bumper bar, grill ,bonnet, side lights etc. ha, headlights okay though !! getting a bumper/roo bar all in one. i think it's better.
cheers
