Headlight

01 Superduty headlight burnt out.
Its a sealed beam, havnt changed one of those for years. Most are bulbs.

Anyway I took all the screws I could see from around the headlight door,
and underneath it.

Headlights still in there as solid as when I started.

Anyone know what screws I seem to be missing?

pull the door off, then remove the 2 or 3 screws that hold the retainer ring to the light bucket.

C-4 Universal disassembler tool.
Does the job every time.

Have you tried Youtube?

This is the wrong type for you and the only one I could find.

I did dig up the 03 sealed beam replacement steps if that helps.

Go to owner.ford.com and pull down a PDF of your owners manual. I use it more then going out to the truck to open mine up. Nice resource.
