Need INFO on removing headlight Assembly
Hello, I've got a 1994 F-150. I purchased some aftermarket headlights, side turn signals, and bottom turn signals for my truck. I'm having a very difficult time getting that assembly taken apart to replace the factory lights with the aftermarket ones. I'm looking for any information on how to get the old lights out. If anyone knows where I might find information on how to take these lights out, or if anyone knows how to take them out and think they can explain it for me I would appreciate any help I can get. THANKS!

this is a perfect example of a repeated question.
covered a hundred times before.
use search, or just go back a few weeks and you will find the answer to this question.
so a faq section will help?
maybe.

There's two 7/16" nuts on the back of the parklight assembly. They're kind of tricky to get at. Remove them, pull out the parklight assembly and remove the sockets. Remove the grille. Remove all the 8 mm screws holding the headlight/grille support, unplug the headlights, and remove the assembly. There's three clips holding each headlight to the support. A screwdriver and pliers works to get them off.
Not too hard of a job at all. The worst part is those nuts for the parklights. Good luck.

Thanks for the Info
I've been able to pull the 2 top clips on the headlight, but I haven't been able to get to that third one. It's quite a way down and I haven't been able to figure out how to get to it. I'll try to get that lower parking light off first and see if that helps. I was trying to pull the headlight first. I have found that inside nut on the lower parking light (the one closest to the grill), but I haven't found the other one yet. I'll get in there and start diggin around again and see if I can get to it. I had a 93 Ranger before I got this truck and the whole front end, lights, grill, etc was a lot easier to get off. I was hoping this would be as easy, but it has proven a bit more difficult. Thanks for the help though!
