ATTN, let me help a little! The plastic piece turns on the threaded rod, turn it a 1/4 turn or so until the rod locks the light bucket in, It drove me NUTS until I figured it out, I experienced you`re frustration! Those adjust you`re height and alignment too!
Hey Chrome! We had the exact same issue with our headlight install and even the driver’s side. Pull that rail all the way out that’s giving you fits and bend it back straight again. Once we did that, it went right back where it should.
Have your van with lights on and have Joseph or jeffe bear filming you coming towards them. When you said low beam high beam no difference - that's the problem for a lot of other road users - you blind them!!! I'm all for making upgrades to your van but not to the detriment of other drivers please
Never miss a vid. Thanks Chrome, mabye one day we'll cross paths. I've been buying supplies for my van build for the last 6 months, I did purchase a van, but its miled out. Was gonna buy another, but it fell through on my end. So now I just gotta save my pennies, and wait for just the right van. Break downs are not something I want to worry about. You are super inspirational, and because of you, i'll soon be living my best life. Thanks again Chrome, I love your home buddy!
I had the same issue last August and purchased new housings and LEDS. What the manufacturer didn’t tell me is that I had to use the Alan wrench provided to set the bulb at 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock with high beam on the bottom. I was blinding on coming traffic with the bulb sitting at 10 o’clock and 4 o’clock for about a month after self installation. Plus I had to order (free of charge) an in line error decoder harness to prevent light flickering in park or when I turned my blinkers on. Finally got them fine tuned and tilted down enough so I wasn’t blinding anyone coming at me. Now I don’t care for them anymore, because with them set properly, the spread and distance of light is no longer 😡
I feel your pain! Same. But we did the same for our van. What a difference ❤️❤️ Finally, I can tell Hubby...“Chrome finally changed his lights” ❤️ Looks amazing.
the white gloves look really nice. kind of gets one in the mood and keeps the hands so clean - wish all companies would give them. great for petting the dog too etc
An important video, "not everything is as easy as it seems and I'll show you how/why". Doesn't mean that you are giving up van life. Thanks for posting it.
Chrome you did an awesome job with your van and your video. Many here will advise you on your install and I’m not one of them. I appreciate your journey and proud of ya! Blessings to ya and hope you have a great day today! Rocky
Chrome, one tip for the future.The gloves that came with the light are used only to prevent the oil and dirt on your hands from getting on the light itself. The light will not last as long if oil or dirt get on it. So only put the gloves on when you are ready to pick up the light bulb and connect it. I learned this the hardway! I had to buy new lights after 3 or 4 months!
They make off road head lights that are for off road use only, hope he didn't buy the wrong one's.. love your commitment to making videos every day, its fun for all of us..be safe
I bought these ones for my e250 from amazon for $40, leds in the sealed plastic box, the right shape but plastic rather than glass like the old ones. All I had to do was unscrew a few screws and unplug the old glass box and plug in the new one. I did it all from the outside. Didn’t have to pop the hood. Used a dab of dielectric grease. Have used over a month now. Works great.
Hang in there it may be the day. We alk have those types of day.. I think Cruz was getting tired or he just got up from nap.. Cruz loves you no matter what so do we from Wisconsin
Hay chrome michael here aka Running Bair, it looks like that little knob with the groove in it is threaded. Try and turn the knob counterclock wise. Witch will move that knob out.keep turning it out until it works I believe it will solve the problem. Hope it works for you.
Fine. I will figure it out myself. Says me when I have a problem & before I give up to either go to have the issue dealt with or ignore it. My vehicle problem as of six days ago is not being able to open my driver's side door from the inside. Time to stop ignoring it. Thanks Chrome.
Earlier this week I struggled with the exact same lamp assembly and a few tweaks with my dremel tool was necessary. The slide latch liked the ramp I provided on the plastic piece. I tried the 25 foot method for adjustment for a baseline but really it was all about just parking a ways behind another car and adjusting them until it didn’t shine in the window of the car about a 100feet ahead. And the side to side adjustment was pretty much set from the 25 foot baseline, but I did tweak that a bit too. I’m so glad up through 2007 we have these cheap headlamp assemblies and each year the LED bulbs are probably getting better.
Jason from Maryland here. Chrome, and everyone else...listen up, do what I did with my plastic housings.... Once you buy new ones, go to a local window tint shop, AND HAVE THEM WRAPPED IN CLEAR FILM!!! they will NEVER YELLOW AGAIN!!! CHEERS 🍻
I currently have a situation changing out rear signal light (just the bulbs) on my suburban. Should have been easy even for me according to a RUclips video I watched earlier. The back doors are jamming and the plate has rusted screws I don't have the tools for just to name a few of the issues. I'm currently sipping my coffee and scheduling a date with my mechanic. 😉
The long rod sticking upwards is the adjustment screw, turn that and you will see the mechanism moving away from the headlight. This will give you the extra length to reach the locking clip "sheet metal" hope this helps.. You will need to get your headlights focused after both are installed
Just had a similar issue. Needed to replace my sealed beam headlights, but the mounting screws were so badly rusted that I couldn't get them out with the tools I had. Ended up having to go to a shop where they ended up having to drill then out. A day later a crack developed in my radiator. Again had to go to a shop because of severely rusted bolts. Now over the course of three days I've got new headlights, radiator, upper and lower radiator hoses, and thermostat. Plus a new 200Ah Renogy AGM battery and 1000w Renogy pure sine wave inverter from Monday.
I think I need to change my lights on my suv. Seeing the difference in what I can see I know it would be wise. Night photography has it's challenges, getting to were I go would be so much simpler. Thank you. A lot of us get just as frustrated as you and some even surpass it. You just showed us that we are human and not perfect by any means
I flexed and vowed a little my spring flat bar towards the plug and got it to lock, I was told to loosen it he alignment all the way out but didn’t want to mess with it.
LED and HID are the best way to go - Love Mine. Suggestion, if you can take the old bracket from the old light where it's not locking and switch them out as the old one worked - Just an idea
I literally wear my sunglasses at night when I'm traveling on the highways because the headlights are SO bright. However, I also have the same dim lights on my E350 and have considered buying the LEDs 🙄😎
I just put led lights on my van and like you I’m so amazed how much safer I feel now that I can see more and at a greater distance just means that I have more time to react than before anyways keep on keeping on!
I was cringing when I saw him pet Cruz and touch all those things with those gloves on. Lol. But I figure that he can use the second pair that comes with the other light. Can’t lie, I was yelling at him when he was doing that! But it’s the mom in me.
Awesome story telling Chrome, you are indeed the Jedi Master - love your voice-over narration. You definitely have earned your Subs, views, and engagement... all coming through your heart and soul. Peace and happy trails, Bro.
The black knob on the back of the lens assembly looks adjustable. It's on a threaded shaft. Try twisting it in or out a bit to catch the metal retainer's saddle.
my son just installed new headlight fixtures (and led bulbs) on my e 150. he's a mechanic and had the same problem getting the new ones to seat in properly. finally done, but not without a lot of frustration (and some colorful language on his part).
Great thinking & Job Chrome. Wow, it sure made a lot of difference while you were driving. Bright lights. Great video as well. We loved your giggles and lighter. We sure found a fantastic video entertaining channel on VANCITY VANLIFE. YAY😀👍🏽
Now adjust them properly and you and oncoming traffic will love it. And I should mention that snow does not melt with led lights so make shure you stop and clean them of when it's snowing.
Van life project, home projects....same thing right? We feel your pain....we can't get a bathroom door handle to go in correctly! Love you, love Cruz, Love the channel! Take care!
The lights look great. Check and see how far out the plastic piece is on the threads of the problem corner compared to the old light. It might not be far enough out to be in the hole all the way
For the headlight Twist that black nut back a few turns give you more room to lock it in place then once you find the spot where it fits just keep taking in out and turning it back to tighten it till it's just a bit harder to put in
They look so much better. I was thinking of changing the bulbs on my car but I know for a fact one side is almost impossible to get too. I’d be frustrated as well.
complete the look with a full led swap. taillights, side markers, reverse lights. They sell complete led tail light units for the econoline or you could just do red led bulbs in the rear. You'll more than likely need an led flasher fuse though so you don't have hyper flash. This will maintain your normal flashing speed when using turn signals seeing how leds have less of a draw than halogen bulbs.
+++++you didn't have to swap the housings... clean with bug spray.. for real... it works. becomes clear as a bell. I've done it before. I love watching you and cruz!!!! future vanlifer!!!
So are these the lights that the newer cars have? I always get angry cause I think they’re blinding me with the high beams. Are they factory equipment now? 🤪
Not sure if it was mentioned, but did you try adjusting the driver's side so the plastic piece is further out so it will catch the latch. Once catched you can adjust it back in and set your direction of the headlight beam.
Man i just put in some of my awesome place to buy LED light in my 1995 f250...form HR..Best place to buy them for sure....Awesome to see you so excited...Nice to see the road and everything....Bummer you got so frustrated..I would say im pretty calm, But things can get to me...Fun times
Chrome all you need on that bad boy is a nice Ram bar I promise you’ll love give it a meaner look plus it’ll help in case of an accident love from the US
The reason it’s not clipping on is that post is for alignment. It’s adjustable. Raise or lower it on the screw post and it’ll snap in. Then make sure you’re aligned and not blinding oncoming drivers.
Try lifting the lock mechanism as you push the headlight assembly into the small hole. It looks like it rests to low, closing off the hole. By holding it up ,you may be able to find the sweet spot . You probably tried that though
Chrome, on the last video when you was in transition building your van I send a suggestion to you about replacing your headlights and change them to led. They look nice and bright now. 😊
Hey Chrome! May I suggest you bend the lock bar first then if that fails remove the lower left bolts and screw and change it out with the new one. The old one locks right? Cheers from Vancouver eh!
The gloves are so you dont get body oils on the bulbs which will cause them to burn out. Try locking the side that wont go in first, then the other one, could be an alignment thing and you can move it around a little to try to get it in, then lock in the other one that we works already
Hi Chrome, I think you just need to slightly pull that locking latch up while pushing the headlight into the hole, it looked like the latch was down to far for the headlight to go through the hole. Cheers man. They look great.
Future reference, you can polish your plastic headlights with brasso brand polish. It removes the oxidation and lasts a couple of months. You can keep your lights bright and clear for years with a single bottle.
Looks like your new awesome lights install was as frustrating as me trying to get my new bucket seat covers on...lol.... They look great !! ....to see difference, now I want LED's..
ShouId've made sure that the new headlight casing adjusters matched the old ones as closely as possible, then you'd likely have got it to fit better/easier :) Don't forget to get them properly adjusted so as to not dazzle oncoming drivers, because low beam certainly looks higher than it should be.

Chrome the black thingie has threads adjust backward or foreword to align correctly
Exactly. He really should give that a try!
*Chrome, are you reading this?*
exactly what i was thinking.. just left a comment mentioning the same thing
If it isn't the black thingie, it might be the whatcamacallit! Just turn or shake it a little.
Exactly, the bar on the headlamp with the black plastic piece is threaded. I assume its so you can adjust backwards and forwards for the van.
Call Joseph! He seems to know how to work well on those things!
see the threads on there? it's adjustable...adjust the fitting outward.
My thoughts as well
i was thinking the same thing
Yes absolutely
It is a little finicky on these
Loosed that nut and it will fit its adjustable for that reason.

yup, get headlight alignment to make sure you're not blinding oncoming drivers.
I hope he does. Those things are painful for oncoming drivers if not aligned properly.
Especially for compact cars. Blinding!

Nice work. Don't forget to aim your new headlights properly. Don't be one of those dudes blinding people. :) Enjoy
Can u unscrew the screw/nut on the light a turn to let the slider go between the nut and the back of the light?
Looks like u might just to have to adjust screw that piece where the metal isn't catching down. There is a threaded rod under neath it.

One recommendation go to a some who has an headlight alignment board
And hopefully sooner than later. LEDs in reflector housings are sketchy as it is but it looks like he could get away with just aiming them down a bit.

Hi Chrome, I think you just need to slightly pull that locking latch up while pushing the headlight into the hole, it looked like the latch was down to far for the headlight to go through the hole. Cheers man. They look great.
Love my LEDS ON MY 2004 Yukon
Cruz always steals the show....he’s so darn cute. 🥰
I wonder if you can use the old part off the original one and put it on the new housing.
Tape fixes everything!!
Future reference, you can polish your plastic headlights with brasso brand polish. It removes the oxidation and lasts a couple of months. You can keep your lights bright and clear for years with a single bottle.
Looks like your new awesome lights install was as frustrating as me trying to get my new bucket seat covers on...lol....
They look great !! ....to see difference, now I want LED's..
ShouId've made sure that the new headlight casing adjusters matched the old ones as closely as possible, then you'd likely have got it to fit better/easier :)
Don't forget to get them properly adjusted so as to not dazzle oncoming drivers, because low beam certainly looks higher than it should be.
not sure what's the law in Canada but in many places it is illegal to put led lights if the car did not came with them
Not yet in Canada. I wish they would.
