In this, you will learn how to remove your headlights and corner (marker) lights on your truck This work was performed on a 2001 XLT Tools required: Ratchet & 6mm socket Step 1. Open your hood. At the hood latch you will see plastic cowling which covers the gap from the core support to your header panel. **04+ models do not have this cowling** The cowling is in 3 seperate pieces, Locate the screws which mount the cowling to the header panel. You do not need to remove the center piece! Passenger side: Two 6mm screws and a plastic push screw Drivers side: Two 6mm screws and a plastic push screw Once unscrewed, remove the cowling Step 2. Locate the headlight retaining brackets. These are behind the header panel and slide up and down to latch the headlight in place. These latches have an upside down "L" shape...pointed out by the dots. Lift the headlight brackets in an upward motion to unlock your headlight anchor pins Lifted brackets: Step 3. Pull your headlights straight out. You can disconnect the bulb harness by unplugging the male/female connectors or by simply twisting the bulb out.
