Video tutorial on how to remove the headlights and parking lights on a Ford Ranger. You will be required to remove the parking/signal lights before removing the headlight and this tutorial does cover that. In this particular tutorial I am working on a 1998 Ford Ranger, but a similar procedure applies to other models as well.

Tools/Supplies Needed:
-1/4″ drive screwdriver handle
-1/4″ 1/4″ drive socket
-needle nose pliers
-allen key or a small strong metal rod

Procedure:
-remove the parking and corner light assembly by removing the two 1/4” bolts located between the bumper and orange parking light
-slide down the plastic cover to expose the parking/signal light bracket
-then remove parking light assembly
-disconnect the three light sockets by turning them counter clockwise and pulling them straight out
-for the headlight, there are two clips in behind which we need to removed
-if you have a pair of angled tip needle nose plier, they would make the removal the clips much easier
-here I’ll be using a standard pair of needle nose pliers with an allen key in the end which will fit in the hole so I can disconnect each side of the clip
-do this for each side of the clip
-once done then pull upwards on the clip which will remove it
-disconnect the last pivot point on the side of the headlight housing by using needle nose pliers and depressing the tangs
-pull the clip straight out and you will be able to remove the headlight assembly
-on the rear of the headlight assembly using a flat screwdriver, pop off the electrical connector that goes directly to the headlight bulb
-installation in reverse
