Brought to you by 1AAuto.com your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the internet. Hi, I'm Mike Green, I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money preparing and maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my twenty plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1Aauto.com. The right parts installed correctly, that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video we will replace the headlights on this 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Track. Same as any 01 to 05 and tools you'll need are Phillips screwdriver and pair of pliers. OK so Ford Explorer headlight replacement you're going to need a Phillips screwdriver and possibly a pair of pliers, although you may just feel to do it with your hands.
Okay, you're going to start by removing a small Phillips screw, right here at the top of the parking light. These may be designed so that you don't have to remove this parking light, but I just find it easier to pull the headlight out of there with the parking light out. This screw you kind of unscrew and I'm working my finger in underneath the head of it to pull it out.
For some reason it just doesn't like pull out very easily. It loosens right up, but it doesn't come out. There it is. Okay. Go down on the parking light, you just give it a little bit of a pull. Okay, you can just kind of hang the parking light off to the right. Obviously, maybe check the bulb see if it's time to replace the bulb, should have an orange bulb on it. Okay. Then the headlight has tabs right on the top here. These tabs I believe are designed to pull up with your hand, but if your car has another part, I suggest a pair of pliers. Just kind of briskly lift up on the tabs. Okay. Then the headlight comes out. Might have to move the tab around a little bit, and then behind, you can either if you're looking to replace the headlight you'll twist this ring and pull the light out. Okay.
Now obviously your headlights free from the vehicle, if you're looking to replace the whole assembly because it's broken or something. Then reinstall. Twist the lock ring. The headlight if you were just wanting to disconnect this it pulls off pretty easy, you just kind of have to pull a tab up, so it will unlock it.
Then to put it back in, you want to look down at the bottom and make sure your bottom connectors are all the way through, then push on it, and then push the tab down and lock it into place. Okay, same thing, push on this side and push the tab down. Okay, if the tab doesn't go down pretty easily, you just want to make sure that you have everything in. I just kind of give it a little pull, make sure it's in there nice and tight. Then you bring your parking light over and push it in. Then screw carefully down in, don't drop it, tighten that up. Okay, there you go.
We hope this helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com. Your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the internet. Please feel free to call us toll free 888-844-3393 we're the company that's here for you on the internet and in person.

arrived in about 4 days, packaged very well. When I tried to install them I found out that the main adjusters were installed backwards on BOTH headlights. I took them off and turned them around and they worked fine.

received my headlights quickly, first thought they may be the wrong ones but after talking with a very nice and knowing
young lady at 1AAuto found they were indeed correct.
installed them in about 30 mins and required very little
adjustment. 1AAuto will be my first place to look when I
need parts for any of my vehs.
Thank all at 1AAuto for outstanding service.

The headlights looked great and they came with a bulbs and adjustment parts attached. The only problem I had was the lower light adjuster on one light did not work. It just spun and you could not adjust the direction of the light. I just took the parts off the old light and swapped it to the new light. Easy change. The lights work great, I have a lot more light when driving at night.

Fit perfectly and were VERY easy to install after watching the 1A Auto video.3mm socket or nut driver is needed to aim after
installation. I highly recommend these lights as they seem to be well made and light the road properly.

Will these replacements last another approx.13 years , before turning yellow ?July 2, 2016

I'll be honest with you. We've been selling these for approx 12 years. I can prob count on 1 hand how many came back for premature yellowing. This is covered under warranty AS LONG AS ITS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. This basically means, dont use chemicals to clean them, treat or try and coat them in anything to make them last longer. Simple car wash soap is good. No windex or special waxes needed. I'm sure you will be very happy with the products!!
