Thanks for the heads up. Started on right side replacement. Quickly realised yes 2 bolts are hidden and a pain in 2 arses to get to. Thinking it was a 1/2 hr job ..... until I started!
I have to do both of mine. The box got delivered yesterday and I’m also going to do the external transmission cooler at the same time. The workshop manual also recommends de-energising the airbag system before working anywhere near the sensors behind the bumper.
I have a ba and also find the headlight setup a nightmare. Just to change a bulb on LHS got to remove the airbox, a job in itself. On LHS got to remove the battery and box to get at the bulbs.
@@georgeauto Definitely helped seeing how you did it. Mine is a silver Pursuit and has Simmons same as yours, mines a bit lower tho. Reckon I’ll be getting the trolley Jack and stands out.
Great video guys. Wouldn't have guessed the bolts behind the number plate. Halfway doing mine now....except I just discovered I have anti theft screws on my number plate 😭
Do they mention any of this in the workshop manuals ? If not they should . Lucky for you tube . Imagine before you tube . Go to the pub and ask someone probably.
What a piss around. Got a BA xr6 turbo recently and came with aftermarket headlights I don't like. Not looking forward to doing all this just for a couple headlight. Cheers for the video though.
I pre bought a box of multiple clips before i removed the front [Dent removal ]. Worst part was the spiders and cobwebs. Complete front end off, [BF Fairlane ] dent repaired ,3 hrs.
God damn I bought 2 new headlights. I was gonna start getting into it but realised the mass amount of effort involved haha. Might just pay someone a carton of beer to do it for me haha
Many thanks. My H4 retaining ring and clip broke off as connector terminals were corroded together. Not looking forward to pulling the front off at my age. Can I borrow your nimble offsider LOL
Anyone know if you have to do all this to be able to get to the wires for the indicator? I’m struggling to find the wires for the indicator wondering if I’ll have to do all of this to get to the wire for anyone knows another spot I can find the wire
Typical bloody Ford !! You are so right - the designer should be gassed! You can't even buy replacement headlamp units in New Zealand. I had to take the old unit out, clean the rust from the reflector and repaint with chromium paint! Now the left side has gone the same way, with water entering the lamp unit. Why they don't use sealed beam units like everyone else is beyond comprehension!
Bro!! That’s easy man seriously, trying dropping a ls in a Holden VQ even that’s easy, the hardest thing to do on a ford ba bf is diff bushes that’s it
