Review: Philips X-Treme Power Headlamps

[AuPanda]

No problem Jes. These drop in just like stock replacements. This from the 2010 F-150 Owners Guide, 1st Printing pgs 79-81

Replacing headlamp bulbs
1. Make sure that the headlamp control is in the off position and open the hood.

2. Remove the pushpin that holds the air deflector/protective cover from the upper inboard corner of the lamp.


3. Loosen the three retaining bolts (two at top of lamp, one at lower inboard corner).


4. Once the three retaining bolts have been removed, slide the headlamp assembly forward, disconnecting the two snap attachments at the fender.

5. Disconnect the electrical connector from the bulb by pulling rearward.

6. Remove the bulb and socket by turning it counterclockwise, then pull it straight out.


WARNING: Handle a halogen headlamp bulb carefully and keep out of children’s reach. Grasp the bulb only by its plastic base and do not touch the glass. The oil from your hand could cause the bulb to break the next time the headlamps are operated.

Install the new bulb in reverse order.

Just a couple of pointers for the DIY:

The pushpin in #2 is held in very gently by a plastic screw; you'll need a phillips head to remove the plastic screw and then just give a light tug and the pin will come out. You then fold the rubber shield out of the way that the pushpin secures.

The retaining bolts are 10mm in #3

Once you have the retaining bolts out you'll need again to give the assembly a tug nearly straight out to seperate the headlamp assembly at the fender snaps (more like fender guides than snaps).
