Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to service the bulbs as well as replace the entire headlight assemblies on this 2005 Ford F150. We show you on the driver side but the passenger side is the same procedure. The items you'll need for this are new headlights from 1AAuto.com, Phillips screwdriver, and a 10mm socket and ratchet.
Pull the latch to pop the hood. Then reach down underneath the grille and just push this lever towards the driver side and your hood will lift up. Twist out the center of this Phillips clip. Once you get it most of the way out, you can just lift that cover out of the way. Then remove this 10mm bolt, this 10mm bolt, and this one right here. We'll fast forward as Mike does that. Now lift up on the bottom of the headlight and then lift up on this tab and pull the headlight out. Push the tab on each of the harnesses to disconnect them.
To service the bulbs you just twist out the socket counterclockwise, pull the bulb out, push your new one in, and twist the socket back in clockwise. This one's the same procedure only the entire assembly is the bulb. You just twist it counterclockwise, take your new one, and twist it clockwise into place. Then this one down here is similar to the first one we showed you where you just twist it out, pull your bulb out, push your new one in, and twist it back into place.
On the left is the old headlight assembly. On the right is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical and they'll fit exactly the same. Reconnect the harnesses to your new headlight. Push this lineup pin back into that hole. Just push back until it snaps into place. Then replace those three 10mm bolts and tighten them up. Remove the center of the clip. Then just tuck that cover back into place, push the clip back down and in, and then take the center and push that down in.
Just to show you the difference new headlights can make, here are the old headlights and here are the new ones. You can see it makes the truck look a lot younger and a lot newer. Again, here's the old and new.
