Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20+ years' experience restoring and repairing cars and truck like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts install correctly, that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video we're going to show you how to replace the headlights, just replace your headlight bulb and the whole assembly if you have a broken headlight assembly. This is a 2004 Crown Victoria. This is the same for any '98 to '07 Crown Vic. The only tool you'll need is a regular flat blade screwdriver. Okay, you want to start by removing the plastic upper close out panel. There's three clips. They kind of unscrew on the top and then they just pull right out and then the panel pulls up and out. Okay, then you just kind of lay it back just to give yourself some extra room. Okay, what I find is the easiest way actually is there are two tabs right here. You might need to use a screwdriver and you just basically pry these clips up.
It comes off. It's the same thing here. It will take some force. Shake them a little bit. Okay, come up and off. Then you pull your light forward. Now you can easily access. Here's your bulb. Pull it out. Twist and pull. Okay, then it just pulls out of the socket like that. It's a 3457AK. Okay, back in. Now here's your headlight. Okay, you'll want to disconnect it. If you're looking to replace a light, that's obviously how you get at it. If you've broke your whole assembly, a new one from 1A Auto will look just like the original and fit right in. If you're just looking to replace your bulb you just twist that ring off and pull out the bulb. Okay, put it back in. Put a chain ring on.
Okay, if you are putting on a new headlight assembly what you're going to want to do, these are the adjustors right here, okay? What you want to do is basically set them on the new headlight the same distance here, okay. That's a good preliminary aim. Once you get the headlight into the vehicle I believe this is either a 4 or 5 mm head, you use a wrench to aim. This one which is the top is probably the up, down and this is I believe the left, right. Re-install pretty easy. Plug a few bulbs back in. Okay. You need to make sure these are kind of going straight back. Now you can see they're all through. One, the lower one and then this one down here. Okay, this is your inner clip and so I push the light in. Put the clip down in. Push down and you're outer one, push the light in again a little bit and shake it a little bit. Make sure it's all the way in. Okay and push down.
This one you've got to use some force to make sure it's all the way down. Now this panel just goes in. Make sure the clips goes under. Now on. You just push the pins in. Push them down and they're locked.
