Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20-plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts installed correctly. That's going to save you time and money. Thank you, and enjoy the video.

In this video we're going to show you how to remove and replace the lights or the headlights on this S10 Blazer. This is a 2000. It is similar for some of the S15 Jimmies as well. You don't need any tools unless you're looking to adjust them. Then you'll need either a Phillips screwdriver or a small socket and ratchet.

Removing the headlights is pretty easy. There's actually two tabs right here, which you pull up and off. Be careful not to drop them. Once those tabs are removed, the headlight comes forward. Okay, if you're just looking to replace your headlight bulbs, you could just grab them and twist. They come out. Disconnect them here by pulling back on these tabs. Disconnect the harness. This side marker just twists and pulls out. This one here twists and comes out. Tab goes out and now your whole assembly is out. If you did break your headlight for some reason or whatever, new headlight from 1A Auto, you can see it's all the same, nice chrome surround. Back is going to be all the same.

As far as aiming the headlight, you've got two screws here. They have both a Phillips and it looks like about a seven-millimeter socket head. This one you can reach from the front. This one here, you reach by using an extension and going right down through here I believe. Yeah, so you would go right through there. What you can do at first is to just adjust it so that the distance between here on your old one and then the distance between here on your old one matches the new one. That gives you a good preliminary aim.

About installation, obviously connect the harnesses. I did swap over the bulbs already. Plug in the harnesses. Okay, plug in your marker light. You go to put the light in, you can right there, and there are two big slots. On the light there are these two tabs. Those two tabs go into those slots. Once you have your lights hooked up, you just want to make sure that your harness here is not interfering with these tabs going into those slots. I'm going to put the light in. Make sure it doesn't get caught on this cable, your hood latch cable. Put it into place. Kind of push the bottom in first. You are going to feel those tabs go into the slots. Then look back in the back. Make sure you're lined up. Push it down and back.

Then the back, it's going to come through these two square holes here. You can see there's the light. I'll push it through. As you're putting these on, you want to put the large area around that and then that goes down. The slot goes down and over that. Push the light back. Push your plastic retainers down. Then again, like I said, you'll now adjust it by turning this screw. I believe counter-clockwise brings the light down and clockwise brings the light up. Then down in here, I believe, clockwise probably aims the light more to the left. Counter-clockwise probably aims it more to the right.

In order to get your beam correct, you want to measure the distance from the floor up to your light, and then from 20 feet away you want to make sure that the beam is pointing straight. A low beam should be pointing one inch down, and a high beam should be pointing straight ahead as well and it should be pointing level. If you park this 20 feet away from a wall on a level surface and you measure up and it is say, 32 inches on the wall, the concentration of beam should be a 32 inches, and the concentration of beam for the low beam should be at 31 inches.
