lol, just bought new bulbs for my explorer, opened the hood looked around then closed it ,thinking it was going to be a miserable job! then saw this video! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I ordered my part from GoParts last week and I just put it on yesterday. Excellent quality and video. I had to replace because something hot it while I was driving on the highway. The new one looks so good I almost want to replace the other one now.
Took the dude in the video 5 min. All he had to do was push the headlight in, and the tabs down. But he dicked around...and dicked around....and dicked around.
THIS WAS OF GREAT HELP. I HAVE A 2003 SPORT TRAC (FORD). LEFT LOW BEAM WAS OUT. REPLACED BULBS EASILY. STILL NO LEFT LOW BEAM. WELL, THESE SUCKERS HAVE A 10 AMP FUSE FOR THE LOW BEAM. ONE FOR EACH SIDE. CHECK THESE FUSES BEFORE BUYING LIGHTS. LOCATED IN THIS POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX, UNDER THE HOOD, SITTING BEHIND THE BATTERY # 38 LEFT # 42 RIGHT. CHECK YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL TO MAKE SURE YOUR'S ARE THE SAME LOCATION. REPLACED THIS 10 AMP FUSE LEFT LOW BEAM WORKS FINE.
so simple! thanks for your video! I was ready to start taking all kinds of bolts out, but decided to check on you tube first! glad I did! saved me a ton of trouble!
Thanks so much! Replacing mine now 😊 it’s important to know these things & being a woman since most of us aren’t car savvy, I like to learn as much as possible & do it myself.
This was SOOOOO HELPFUL!! I had NO CLUE as to HOW to get that damn headlight assembly out, to change bulbs. I'm assuming that the 2005 I'd just as straightforward as the '04 that was changed out in this video. Correct?
I have this exact same ‘04 Explorer but the last owner took no care of it. This headlight replacement was a hassle and a half to get done with all those years of neglect hidden underneath those meta pull tabs
This was a great video made the process so easy on 2005 Eddie Bauer V8. I was just changing the low beam bulb Keep some WD40 handy because the brackets be hard to move
Go Parts Logo is covering a lot of the detail. The whole left side is not part of the display presentation, yet it is perfectly visible. Please consider this when filming. Thank You for the effort,
Thanks for the video! Saved me time and a headache. Thought I had remove the battery. What is the Rod that kind of floats/moves around? It's connected to one of the bottom bolts.
So simple that if I looked at my friends vehicle first, I would have figured it out in a few seconds. But he said that it was this big ordeal. I'll simply charge him extra. 😂
Hey, this thing is killing me! Trying to reattach the headlamp assembly. The outboard tab will not reconnect. Two things: 1) difficult to get enough of the screw into the hole so that the locking tab will catch it when pushed down, 2) seems as if the locking tab will not go down far enough to catch the screw even if I can get the screw deep enough into the hole. This one was hard to get released when taking the headlamp out in the first place - need some advice quickly, please. Butch.
How can i aim them to the left and righ, seems like mine are shining to the right to the passanger side instead of going straight forward, i can do up and down but no to the sides
question i have a 05 explorer and want halo head lights but the once i see are for 05 expedition and they look the same shape in size, so would they fit?
01-05 Explorers require (2) separate bulbs (correct?) bulb #9006 for Low beam & 2005 for high beam...right(!?) Oh and since the video failed to mention which bulb goes in which socket... anyone know which bulb location is the low beam and/or which bulb location is the high-beam(?)
AND JUST FYI..... WHEN REPLACING BULBS, FUSES, ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, APPLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF THAT ELECTRICAL GREASE TO THE ENDS. IT WILL SAVE YOU MANY PROBLEMS LATER. SAME GOES FOR RV, BOAT, TRAILERS, ETC. PREVENTS RUST AND MALFUNCTIONS CAUSED BY WATER. IT WORKS !
Except mine had an additional support on the bottom of the headlight assembly that only God Himself would have been able to will out do to it's placement. Luckily, after taking the battery out, I had just enough room to wiggle the bulb out and replace it. The video was helpful though.
1 lever popped up easily with my fingers but for the other one i took some pliers and got a good grip on the left and right side of the lever...not the tip. It took a pretty hard pull put the popped right up.
I used the 9006 on mine today and it worked fine. The machine at wal mart told me 9007 but it wouldnt fit. I called the dealer and they told me 9006 "if" your truck has both a high beam and a low beam bulb that are separate.
10 year old video, im changing the headlight rn thanks to your help man:) 10 years ago when you were changing your headlight i was 11😭
I feel like such a dumbass now. I had no clue how to get at those bulbs. I cant believe its that simple. Great video!

Worked like a charm. Took all of 20 seconds to replace. Saved me from a migraine. thanks

Just finished. Worked like a charm. I thought I would have to take the battery out and unscrew stuff. Grateful for the video!

Thank you so much for your help! And it took me about 15 minutes to swap out my busted headlight assembly and replace it with the new one.

Good Info but bad camera angles. You can't really see anything but his descriptions help the most
You never showed the part numbers for the bulbs. But thank you for showing how to take it off.
No mams... que pinche fácil está la cosa y yo la di en la torre a mis faros, que pen.... gracias por el vídeo. Saludos desde México, D. F.
That throat clear at 1:30 scared me and then severely distracted me
Damn I feel like such a dumbass not sure how to get at those bulbs. I cant believe its that simple. Good Job!
Thank you! Great instructions.
Thank you very helpful video
Muchísimas gracias 😊
So simple that if I looked at my friends vehicle first, I would have figured it out in a few seconds. But he said that it was this big ordeal. I'll simply charge him extra. 😂
Nevermind, took a break: drank a beer, went right in - go figure! Butch.
Put new headlamp in 2003 Ford explorer but only high beam works. Help !
The lever to take out the headlight is super tuff to yank out. Any recommendations?

How do you adjust it? I have a 2002 ford explorer sport
Ty this really helps

question i have a 05 explorer and want halo head lights but the once i see are for 05 expedition and they look the same shape in size, so would they fit?
thanks.helped me out alot
Great vid, great help!
Great video. My tabs were a bitch to move, but they were persuaded in the end.

I want to see how to add Fog Light Bumper Upgrade and Wire Fog Lights to an 02 WITHOUT THEM
AND JUST FYI..... WHEN REPLACING BULBS, FUSES, ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, APPLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF THAT ELECTRICAL GREASE TO THE ENDS. IT WILL SAVE YOU MANY PROBLEMS LATER. SAME GOES FOR RV, BOAT, TRAILERS, ETC. PREVENTS RUST AND MALFUNCTIONS CAUSED BY WATER. IT WORKS !
how do you replace a 2004 ford explorer rear bumper
what about the light assembly right next to that one?
Except mine had an additional support on the bottom of the headlight assembly that only God Himself would have been able to will out do to it's placement. Luckily, after taking the battery out, I had just enough room to wiggle the bulb out and replace it. The video was helpful though.
Yeah I have that third support thingie on the bottom as well. Might have to break it.
What did you use to get the levers up?
I used a Hammer lol
1 lever popped up easily with my fingers but for the other one i took some pliers and got a good grip on the left and right side of the lever...not the tip. It took a pretty hard pull put the popped right up.
I used a crow bar
I had to do the same and use pliers
+Chase Slaughter I was going to use fire but after reading the comments I'll go with a long screw driver.
Which one is the low beam
The big one
Thanks
Thank You
I have the 05 eddie Bauer I bought led heads bulbs and led fogs
THANK YOU!
Thanks so much
:)

Thanks, mine were just stuck.
Better camera angle would help.
Thanks!
Big help. Thanks!
Thank you sir!
So easy
My 03 has a third antenna looking screw 🙄
Couldn’t see much cause your hand or the ad go part was in the way.
Ford Explorer 1998 XLT?? Cambio de luces? Led 16000 lumens
BETTE Maurino The bulb # is 9006 well for a 2004 ford explorer.
I used the 9006 on mine today and it worked fine. The machine at wal mart told me 9007 but it wouldnt fit. I called the dealer and they told me 9006 "if" your truck has both a high beam and a low beam bulb that are separate.
Thanks You think Ford would design a better gromet. Plastic!
this is NOT a 2001 explorer
Get to the point. No need for a 4+ minute video
No tools huh...just wing it dude.
Appreciate this alot
Thank you.
