How to remove the headlamp assemblies in your 2019 and up north American Ranger. This guide will help you swap out your headlamp assemblies with Lariat or aftermarket headlamp assemblies.
Thanks to this video, mission accomplished! Thanks for this tutorial. Put lariat headlights in my xlt as well. Some parts were pretty tough. I did not end up unscrewing the wheel well mud barrier. The screws were plastic and stripped out. Luckily was able to work around them. Putting it back together was waaaaay easier than I thought. I put that wind guard in before putting the front grill back on. Good stuff. Thanks again!
i'm doing this right now and when it came to the side marker, it took me way too long to realize the thing was held in with a tab, so thanks for mentioning that there are videos about this or I would've probably bent my valence lol
5:25 also, I found it much easier to find the nub at the end of the screw, between the gap in the "pinch" points of the clip, and pushing down with my fingernail while unscrewing from the other side. this way you don't need to rely on pressure alone to get the screw out
How much of an upgrade over the halogens are these, including fog? My father's limited Ram is good in clear conditions, but absolutely awful in fog. We compared his truck to my wife's tradesmen with separate high/low side by side. Wife's truck high beams were useful, His just makes a super bright cone that lights up the water particles right down the road centerline.
Great video. They def designed the headlamp to be Labor cost expensive to replace. I had shit engineering like that. None of the vehicles today are service friendly.
Well, after completing this task for my Alpharex Novas I have to say, that was a metric pain in the ass. It took about 1.7 "fuck!"s to get the fender flare clips off and about 9.63" damnits" to finally free the balance. Thankfully it all went back on easier than it came off. POS plastic screw clips never work as advertised either.
One question, does that assembly come with the appropriate LED/HID bulb or do you have to buy that too? I heard from someone on a forum that it comes with a Halogen bulb?? Thanks for the video
I am done swapping headlights after performing a morimoto hid projector retrofit on my old 2000 Explorer and morimoto XB led fog lights. I’ll just buy a lariat when I get a new ranger. Nice work though, that’s impressive.
Looks great lots of work and $$$. I just upgraded my bulbs to the GTR 2.0 and works great. I looked at aftermarket headlights like the alpha Rex but too gimmicky the startup lights to seem more novelty. I prefer more go than show..
@@markarniedimayuga1192 I’m gonna let you know he’s probably in the US therefore we don’t get the Everest. Never have so he probably can’t help with that.
Not a problem, you can absolutely run daytime LED lamps. All it takes is a few changes through Forscan and you will be up and running. Do a quick search on Google or take look on the "Ranger 5G" forums and that should get you squared away..
Do you know how much it cost to grab a set? I have a XLT ranger and I can’t agree with you more. The headlights are ugly and the DRL on the lariat are just better in every way.
I looked into the Lariat headlamp assemblies for my Ranger, and I was told by my local dealer they were somewhere in the $2,000 range. I want them but not that bad. I'll check the junkyards out also.
