Well, mine is the same thing. The headlight assembly snaps out of the grill,
and you you can snap the second one back in. Thats xactly what I am talking
about. I hope the auto parts stores know what I am talking about =)

>>First the Bad News:

>>Well, today the dak was at the dealer to get fixed, after they sent a
>>postcard to tell me my part was in. What ever happened to the good old
>phone
>>call? Well, after leaving it there the whole day I come back and they
>>haven't installed it yet. They are just about to when my "service advisor"
>>comes to tell me it isn't warrantable. I understand, since I performed the
>>damage. But he goes on to tell me its going to cost $400+. I don't think
>so.
>>He goes to show me the part they ordered and its a whole new headlight
>>assembly, including headlight and amber corner signal. I went on to say I
>>don't need all of, especially since I replaced the corners for clear ones.
>>He goes on to say well thats the only way we can fix it. Needless to say,
I
>>would rather be blinding oncoming drivers than paying $400 for a damn
>screw.
>>So I need your guys help? What should I do? How can I get that screw
>>removed? Anyone have an extra headlight assembly they wanna get rid of for
>a
>>97+ Dak?
>>
>>The Good News:
>>1. Leak under passenger side floormat, caused by faulty grommet near cowl.
>>Replace entire carpet :) with new carpet.
>>2. Chipping paint on front bumper, going to be painted. Still need to talk
>>to body shop about an appointment and color.
>>3. While taking my girlfriend home this evening, I spot an Intense Blue
>R/T.
>>At least I think it was, he had no decals. He rolled down the window and
>>complimented me on my truck, his exact words were "nice little truck". Of
>>course, I complimented him back, But didn't get a chance to tell him about
>>the show. Oh well, I'm sure I'll be seeing him around.
