Installation: Dodge Dakota (1997-1998) and Dodge Durango (1998)

On the 1997-1998 Dakota and 1998 Durango, the parking / turn-signal lamp comes off first so you can reach the headlight fasteners. Professional installation and beam aiming are recommended. Switch off the lights and ignition, set the parking brake, and disconnect the negative battery cable before you start.

1. Remove the parking / turn-signal lamp beside the headlight: take off its gasket, remove the T10 screw, and unplug its bulbs. Set the lamp aside.
2. Remove the three 10 mm bolts that hold the headlight and the retaining pin. Pull the assembly forward and unplug the factory connector. Do not pull on the wiring. Transfer the retaining pin to the new assembly.
3. Install the included 9007 bulbs in the new housings. Connect the factory-style connector, align the assembly, and start the three 10 mm bolts. Repeat on the other side.
4. Reinstall the parking / turn-signal lamp, gasket, and T10 screw. Reconnect the battery, and test the headlight, parking lamp, and turn signal. Aim the lamps on a level surface before driving at night.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which vehicles do these headlights fit?
1997-1998 Dodge Dakota and 1998 Dodge Durango only. They will not fit 1991-1996 Dakota, 1999-2004 Dakota, or 1999-2003 Durango, which use different housings. Compare your current lamps with our photos before ordering.

Will they fit a 1999-up Dakota or Durango?
No. 1999-2004 Dakota and 1999-2003 Durango use a later headlight. This pair is the 1997-1998 Dakota / 1998 Durango lamp only, including the amber corner that is part of the assembly.

Are these a pair or a single lamp?
This is a complete driver and passenger pair, not a single-side lamp.

How are they installed on a 1997-1998 Dakota or 1998 Durango?
Start with the parking / turn-signal lamp beside the headlight: remove its gasket and the T10 screw, then unplug its bulbs. Remove the three 10 mm headlight bolts and the retaining pin, unplug the headlight harness, and transfer the pin to the new assembly. Reconnect the harness, install the included 9007 bulbs, secure the headlight, and reinstall the parking lamp and gasket. Aim the lamps before nighttime driving.
