Headlight loose
Asked by GuruTR642 Jul 15, 2018 at 03:01 PM about the 2000 Dodge RAM 1500
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
My 2000 dodge ram wont pass inspection
in TX because they say my headlight is
loose and it could fall out. It wiggles a little
when you press on it, but nothing severe.
Any advise on how to secure it would be
greatly appreciated.

The screws that hold the headlight in place bolt into the plastic housing that is the headlight n if they break, then you're sol. Nothing can usually be done to "tighten" the headlight back down. Easiest is to replace the entire ass'y they're cheap, cheap online. Although be careful, because I had to loosen my bumper to get my ass'y out n back in again. Not difficult, but you'll need a good breaker bar, 1/2 or better to loosen the bumper. It's more aork but is easily done with any mechanical experience n patience.
That is what has happened, the plastic housing broke. We tried to duct tape it, but that did not work. Thanks!
