    If you use painters tape and apply the tape to your garage door by your old headlights then it’s very simple to adjust your new headlights after installation.

    I just got the exact same lights for Xmas for my 2005. I had the same problem with the marker lights - ended up using the original ones to make them work also! That said, the spring clips for the outside edges were WAY outta speck - I had to re-use the Ford clips on both sides.

    at 11.48 , i noticed the lights on the garage door , both lights seem to glare to the right , almost identical , instead of a spread on both sides , my jeep lights did this , on one bulb , i re, seated the bulb to face the other way and it created an even spread across the drive path , just a helpful tip :)

  • @goodgollyjosh
    @goodgollyjosh 4 года назад +7

    I've been buying new headlights off Amazon every couple of years for my '07 F150. They are around $65 for the set. I put a little wax on them now and again. They don't last long, the clear coat starts pealing. As a side note, I have started putting silicone on my bulbs around the sealing area when I install them so the lenses don't get moisture in them. Most people think the moisture is coming from the seal around the headlight lens. It is actually coming from poor manufacturing tolerances around the bulb area when purchasing cheap Chinese knock offs. I don't even bother sanding the lenses when the clear starts coming off, for $65, I will just replace them every couple of years. Hope this helps someone.

    I don't know if it was the aftermarket headlights I put in or what, but those clips on the out side of the lights would no way go in the holes. I had to use long needle nose plyers to compress them to go into the holes.

  • @Blazer02LS
    @Blazer02LS 6 лет назад +6

    Typical aftermarket parts... They almost fit.. Tip for folks aiming the lights. Find a flat area with a nice wall that you can drive right up to. Take 4 pieces of painters blue tape. with you. Turn the lights on high beam, drive up to the wall straight until the bumper almost touches. Take the tape and make an X in front of the center of the brightest area of light. Now back away from the wall 10-15 feet. Look at where the brightest spots are now. They should still be on the X's, or a tiny bit to the right of them. If not adjust the lights until they are. If you have combined high/low beam lamps you are finished. If however you have low beam units that are also adjustable, switch to low beam now and adjust those using the same routine of making the X at the brightest point, BUT you want the low beams to be lower and to the right to avoid blinding other drivers. How much depends on the type of light you have. Newer vehicles that have a real horizontal cut off on the low beams are adjusted a bit different than ones that do not have that beam type. Those measurements are available, either in the owners manual on some models, in the service manual or at the www.2carpros.com/questions/new link.
