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 1AAuto. I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle. I am going to use my 20 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 is going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video, we are going to show you headlight replacement on this 1997 Expedition. It's the same as any 97 to 02 Expedition or 97 to 03 F150. The only tool you will need is probably a T20 Torx driver and actually you might even be able to do it without any tools at all.
Okay, so maybe you have been in an accident and you need to replace your headlights or maybe you are just looking to update the front end of your truck. If you watch the driver's side or as you look at the right hand headlight, you see it gets nice little brighter. That is what nice new headlights will do for you and then as you can see, now the front end of this truck we took about 100 thousand miles off the truck just with a new set of lights and it is easy to do. So to remove a headlight, you have two tabs here on the top. What you want to do is pull up some okay and push back and then go up further. Same thing on this one, up, push back, and up further. Okay and now you can generally get the light out. You may decide that you want to make it easier use a T20 Torques driver and remove your parking lights.
Okay, remove your parking lights and you do that by removing that bolt and pull your parking light out. This allows you to get a little more room here to work with the headlights. Sometimes they will get caught on the grill. Just pull your headlights forward and there is a connector here and you can just use your fingers and push that connector off. Okay and if you are just looking to change your light bulb, especially on this drivers side you cannot get to it from the back, so you just twist that ring and remove the bulb and change it. Put it back together, lock the ring on. Here is our new light from 1AAuto and here is the old light from the truck and you can see that the new light from 1AAuto is all the same. All the mounts are the same, the light is going to go in the same and everything. The new light is obviously just clearer and brighter. If you have a broken headlight obviously this is going to be the fix for you and also if you are looking to refresh the front end of your truck, the new headlight will help.
A couple tips before you install them, just kind of eyeball all three of these adjusters and kind of get them into the same distance. With the distance that you want to look at is between the middle of this bulb to this groove here and you just want to make sure that distance is basically all the same. That will be a good preliminary aiming for your headlights. Another tip is just make sure all your stars I guess are this way. Okay, the grooves that go in and they have to go between those stars, so you want to make sure they are all like that with the point of the stars pointing diagonally. Okay to install you can see this has a little groove in it. They all go into these slots here. So what you want to do first is obviously connect your headlights okay and then you really want to look at the inside one.
Okay, what you are looking to do here is to make sure that this clip gets into this groove here. Okay so you can kind of see inside there, hopefully you can still see that. Now that you have the inside one, okay so now you can focus on these outer ones and you can see how these adjusters kind of go in those grooves. This is where not having that parking light in there really helps because you can get your fingers right in there and move stuff around. Now you got them right in there. Okay and now looking down you can see that all of my studs are through, even the little one. That black plastic is right through. You can push your tabs down. Okay, your light is in nice and secure and you can re-install side marker light. Make sure your lower flood is in the light and the upper. Push it back in and your T20 nut and bolt. Then turn on the lights, do a test to make sure everything is working well.
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 are the company that serves you on the internet and in person.

Perfect replacement for my '97 F-150
Aaron

I ordered this set of replacement lights for my beloved Ford truck. I have had this truck since brand new, but it's 20 years old and the lights were very clouded and looked awful. These replacements got to my house when expected and looked to be very quality components. Even though the item description says "light bulbs not included" mine did come with high quality bulbs already installed. It took me about 8 minutes to install both of the light assemblies. Truck looks GREAT and the difference in driving after dark is amazing. I didn't realize how bad my old lights had gotten. I am a very happy customer. Only thing is, now with the new headlights, the corner lights look bad, so I think I'll order and replace those too.
Look nice and improved brightness

Plastic lenses were faded and glazed and becoming dangerous on my mint condition 2000 f150 super cab I love. Upgraded to these lights easy to install and adjust with some patience as always. Makes truck look much newer. Shipping was quick and instructional video was very clear and easy to follow. A1 has helped me keep this truck in like New condition for a while now for a fraction of the cost !
Great value..great parts

I bought these lights to replace the faded ones on my '97 F150. Easy to install and my gosh, what a difference they made in the looks of my beloved truck. Plus, they made a HUGE difference in the lighting at night. It was a little trial and error to get 'em aimed right, but now they shine like a brand new vehicle. The guality of the lights looks identical to the factory ones. PLUS, even though the ad said these came without light bulbs, they did come with a quality set of brand new bulbs. That makes quite a dang bargain for only $57 bucks. I will absolutely be buying from this company again. I honestly am very pleased. My truck looks great.
Great product, fantastic sevice !

Great product/Horrible how to video!!

Received my new headlights and was very happy with them. Watched your how to install video 3 times and started my install. I am very mechanical savvy and do much of the care and maintenance of my 3 vehicles. This was FAR FAR FAR more difficult than your how to video portrays. Alligning the mounting tabs took an hour on each headlight I was tempted to take off the grill surround because the inner mounting tabs are actually being the grill surround. While I was installing and after I finished I watched your video 3 more times and I have to call B.S.. My truck is a 1998 F-150 it was a canadian built truck.
worth the money and time

Good product. Fit was decent, as good as the previous installed headlight. Adjusting is a little tough, but that is how Ford made it and is not the fault of the parts manufacturer. Delivery was very fast, would order from 1A Auto again anytime.

I'm really impressed with the quality and appearance of the headlights..Also, these came with new bulbs, which I did not expect. The only minor downside is that they were more difficult to install than I anticipated. However, I'm very satisfied with the purchase.

the headlights were great replacements for my old dull ones. Even more importantly the video of how to replace them done by 1A Auto was spot on, just like all the videos I have seen by them. Keep up the great work 1A Auto.

The lights are great. They are noticeably brighter.
They were more difficult to remove and install than the video showed, but over all not too bad.
The new lights brighten up the front end of my truck and give the look of the truck not being as old. If you think your headlights are dull or yellowed, Then I would recommend changing them. You'll be surprised at the difference it makes.

I had one headlight break ( stone strike) so I thought I'll just go to the local Ford dealership and get one. Well they wanted $143.00 for one light and I was going to replace both. So I decided to check 1A Auto, and boy was that the right thing to do. I got both lights for less than $70.00 delivered to my front door. The install was easy and made my old truck look a little younger( hard to make a 20 year old truck look new). Completely satisfied, Thanks 1A Auto.
Seemed to work fine.

Replaced my 21 year old headlights, wow, what a difference. Thanks to the video you have,I was able to change them out with not too much griping, ??. I removed the turn signals first, makes it so much easier to get the head lights out. Very happy with my new bright headlights!

My wife's Ford F-150, 2001,220 thousand miles --- front end LOOK'S GREAT.
Your fast delivery; received Jan. 28th,2023. However, I was not able to keep wife out of the truck long enough for me to install. I just finish installing them yesterday Feb. 24th,2023.
