Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to service the bulbs as well as replace the entire taillight assembly on this 2005 Ford F150. We show you on the passenger side, but the driver side is the same procedure. The items you'll need for this include new tail lights from 1AAuto.com and an 8 millimeter socket and ratchet.
Open up your tailgate and then remove these two 8mm bolts on the side of your tail light. We'll just fast-forward as Mike does that. Now pull the tail light out.
Twist the sockets counterclockwise to remove them. If you're just looking to replace a bulb, the bulb just pulls right out. Push your new one into place. This one's the same way.
On the left is the old tail light assembly; on the right is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical, and they'll fit exactly the same.
Take your new tail light. Twist the socket back into place; turn clockwise to lock them in. Line up these two pins with these two holes and on the other side these two pins with these two holes. Just push it back into place. When it pops in, replace those two 8 millimeter bolts.
As you're tightening these up, just be careful not to over-tighten them as you are going into plastic. You don't want to strip them out.
Then just test it out. Make sure the brake lights and the reverse lights work. You can see they do. You're all set.

Okay, so a headlight on Ford F150, if you're looking to either just change the bulbs or change the headlight out itself, all you're going to need is a Phillips screwdriver, and a 10-millimeter socket and handle or ratchet or a wrench.
I'm going to start. There's a little pin right here. I'm just going to back out the screw a little bit very lightly, so if you press on it at all it'll actually push it. There is the pin, and then you just pull this shield up. Here are two 10-millimeter screws. I'll remove those. Use my handy tray here. Holds the bolts right in, and there is one screw up on top here. Then this little clip, you pull up with your finger and you can see the headlight just slid forward just a little bit, and then you want to grab it in behind here and give it a good pull. When you're pulling the headlight, there is a little clip right here and that goes into the slot there. When you're going to have to pull, you're basically pulling that clip out of that slot.
Now, in behind, you can see here is your signal light. This is your headlight and there's kind of ears right here. Twist, pull that out, and then here's your side marker light and then you twist. Twist it one way or the other. It's just being a little angry. There's your side marker. The headlight is out of the car. Obviously re-installation is just the reverse. Put the lights in and twist, and the headlight in, again, twist. Then put the signal light in here and twist. Get the light into position and then push. That tab should lock down. Put your three bolts back in, and make sure you push the flap in underneath on the radiator bezel there. Push that down in. Take your little screw kind of thing and just push it in to lock it and you're all set.
