- Description: Complete Step by Step 1 Piece * NO CUT * 05-07 headlight upgrade for 99-04 Ford F250 F350 Spec-D Tuning Headlight PN 2LH-F250991PCG-RS. Want a direct Headlight Assembly plug and play upgrade with no cutting? Check these out on eBay or Zoro for under $160.00. Or on Amazon for $138.54 here; www.amazon.com/dp/B01H05QII0/...
I think you’ll really enjoy the look, these should get your attention! Some sellers assemblies don’t come with the 9007 bulbs so you may need to reuse the old ones, or install some AUXITIO LED bulbs here; • AUXITO 9007 HB5 12K Lu...
Pros:
- No CUTTING or Modifications needed to install them, A HUGE PLUS! It’s Plug & Play & If you want to revert back to your stock or similar style you can easily do it, It’s NOT permanent.
- Price is very reasonable when compared to similar units.
- Better Lighting than stock.
- If you have to work on or replace an assembly with the same PN or another one you don’t have to remove the batteries after the initial installation, even if the style changes.
Cons:
- To change the Headlight Bulb you have to remove the top clips & loosen the bottom screws.
- To change the Parking Bulb a complete removal is necessary, when stock is just two screws. So two clips and two screws isn’t that bad, besides other one pieces units are like this as well.
- NO quick beam alignment screws, you have to pull the upper clips and adjust the mounting Screw Nuts. A bit of a hassle but once done you don’t have to do it again.
Conclusion: If you’re on a budget and don’t mind playing with the weird alignment, or having to remove the whole assembly to replace the bulbs, then these are your best option.

Fabulous video, very thorough. Thanks for sharing. I have a 2003 F-250 diesel and just installed Sea-Light LEDs in the stock headlight housings, but someday I want to do what you did with new housings...
Thanks bud. If I was going to do it again I think I would actually cut just a small portion so I could get the Headlight bulb in and out without having to remove the clips. Not that I change them a lot but just to make it easier. Thanks for watching and the taking the time to thank me, I appreciate it. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
Great install video. Just did them on my 02 f250. Thanks!
Glad the video was able to help you out. Thanks for watching. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
Just bought a set, great video thanks
I love these so far. The only issues I had was the alignment of them. It was a lot harder to align than the standard headlight assemblies, but very doable.
I'm making a video on how to upgrade these to LED's without modifying the Radiator Frame as well. I should have that video up next week so stay tuned. Thanks for watching. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
Thank you so much for making this video, these lights don’t even come with directions
Instead of taking all that stuff off to get to that back clip. Just use a 14mm 6 prog socket and reach in through the hole and press the socket on the clip and pull.. it works.
That is a totally awesome tip. I had someone mention that and saw it in another video, it worked great! One I'm sure I'll do the next time I need to take a stock Headlight assembly out. Thanks for posting it for myself and others to use. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
Man You are Awesome 💯💪🏿
Thank you Brother
I appreciate that! Glad you liked the video. Don't forget to do the alignment of them or they won't be as effective. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
Thanks for the video !
You're welcome KC I thought others might like to see a No Cut or Mod could be done with the right Headlight Assembly. I should be doing a video on upgrading the bulbs to AUXITO LED's in the next two weeks. I also have a Rear Hub Seal/Bearing & Brake Rotor/Pad video I'm editing to post as well. Thanks for the thanks and watching. Best Wishes & Blessings.
Great video thanx
I wish i had your mentality when i work on things 👍 you sound like kristoffer Ray man
LOL, now that's funny! Send me a link to that guy. I once was told I sound like Gary Sinise, the guy who played Lt. Dan in Forest Gump. I almost fell out of my chair laughing. Gotta love the RUclips community. Made some good friends on RUclips too over the years. Thanks for the laugh Rich, Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
@@keithnoneya hes the guy over the fbi ! You know that can never anwser anything because of on going investigation! !!!🙄 🙉🙈🙊
I believe I want to install new light bulbs when I do this to my excursion. Can anyone recommend a particular brand and/or wattage of bulb? Thanks for the video.
If you can do this one handed I can with both hands..LOL Assume these fit 2000 F350 as well? My stock housings are so fogged over they hardly let any light out. I'll probably go with new bulbs given the pain to change going forward.
Thanks
Yep they'll fit just fine. Change the bulb isn't to hard other than you have to pull the batteries. I went with the AUXITO LED's Here's a video on those in these Headlight assemblies; ruclips.net/video/svE8Be-Su58/видео.html The only two things I don't like about these headlight assemblies is after alignment there's a 1/8" gap between them and the fender and to get the best out of the High Beams you have to aim the low beams lower than I would like. However they are still WAY better than stock and Halogen Bulbs. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
ALL and i mean ALL of the cheap amazon or ebay aftermarkets are junk. Some are immediate junk but all will be regrettable within 2 years.
Go with AlphaRex lights. Well worth the money (and the header panel mod if you have a pre-05).
So far so good. I'll check out the others for sure, but I'm not much into cutting up my header panel. That's why I chose these one. Anyways, Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
Nice and we'll explained video, what brand are these headlight assemblies and where did you get these?
If you check description I give a link to where they're sold and some more information on them. If there is a failing on them I would say the alignment is a little tricky but they work way better than the Halogens it had in it. Thanks for watching. Best Wishes & Blessings Keith Noneya
6:46 i gotta find that on mine i didnt even see that part when i did my s&b cold air intake.
Curious what year do you have, or do you have an aftermarket air box?
@@keithnoneya I have an 02 f250 lariat I think I seen mine in the spyder.
@@2alawabidingcitzen If you have one of those after market big round filters sometimes they're put in the tube, and sometimes people just let them hang loose in the engine bay. If it's hanging loose in the engine bay, that's not good. Then sensor it to take the intake temperature so the PCM knows how much fuel to inject and at what time based on temperature. So it should get inserted into a hole in the tube right after the filter going towards the engine. One of the problems is some people don't install a Cool Air Box and just use the HOT air in the engine bay, so that's one of the reasons some people just let it sit in the engine bay because they figure it won't make a difference in temperature. They are right it won't make a difference in temperature but it will in PCM Mixture over what the real outside the engine bay temperature is. When people do they they also loose HP, Torque and MPG. Hope that info helps you locate it. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
@@keithnoneya 🙏
Ok but how is the beam pattern with these?
Súper. Thanks
Welcome bud, glad you liked it. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
Was it flush on the sides of the headlights
Use a hook and curved pliers for the retainer clips 😂
Thanks for the tip, they were hard for sure. Eventually broke both of those clips. LOL
Thanks for the video! How are these units holding up? Any fogging inside the lenses?
Not at all, and they seem to be holding their clear as well. The only thing I found I didn't like about them was in order to align them I had to have a 1/4" gap on the outside near the fender. Other than that I love em. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
@@keithnoneya could you show an update about this? Curious if that’s a deal breaker for me
@@josephoverstreet5584 HI Joseph it's been a year and they're still doing great no fogging at all. To get the best out of them make sure and align them after you install them. The only thing I didn't like about them is to change the Light bulb on these you have to pull the clips on top to access the bulb. But how often does someone change a bulb, almost never. The other option is to cut a hole right behind the ring for the bulb in the Radiator Support Frame, which I chose not to do. I did make a video on how to align them as well. The best advantage this light assembly has over the others is you don't have to cut up your truck to use them, it's a plug and play. I hope that answers your questions. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
@@keithnoneya it did except I’m curious about seeing the 1/4” gap you’re talking about. Not sure if my ocd will allow it or not lol
@@josephoverstreet5584 Yeah my OCD didn't like it either. I was thinking of either trimming it some how or adding some rubber trim in there. I do love the lights though and for the price and the no cut I couldn't pass them up.
have you made a how 2 addjustment yet?
Absolutely, I have three videos on this assembly. Installation, Alignment and LED Light Bulb Upgrade. Here's the one on the alignment; ruclips.net/video/uy0-bVFyNzs/видео.html Hope that helps, Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
What was the new daytime running lights plugged into?
On these units, it's internally connected to the Parking light harness, as soon as you plug in the Parking light wiring, they come on when you turn on the Parking lights. Hope that answers your question. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
I bought a 7.3 with these already "installed" i constantly have to jiggle the 3 prong plug to get them to work. Wondering what this might be?
Most likely a bad connector. Try slightly twisting the blade or bend them more outward that should solve this bad connection. The other problem could be a internally intermittent wire, if that's the case you'll need to replace the connector on the truck. Hope that helps get you back up and working good. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
@@keithnoneya you're awesome Keith thank you
@@dr.z3426 Any time Dr. Z
Use a 14mm socket on the lower squeeze tabs to get the headlight out.
Thanks for the tip, great Idea! Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
No LED?
It's in the Auxito video here; ruclips.net/video/svE8Be-Su58/видео.html Just remember to align them for the best use of them. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
You do not need to remove the airbox or battery what a joke
How would you release the lower drivers fender clip then?
