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, friends. To get started on doing this tail lamp, you're really gonna need some very basic tools. Basically, all you need is an 8-millimeter socket so you can remove this mounting bolt here and this one right there. Once we get those out, we'll be able to slide this out and remove the wiring. Grab onto your lamp assembly and pull it towards the rear of the vehicle. From the backside, you can see the wiring. Go ahead and grab on to those, give them a little twist to turn them out. I always like to take a peek at my bulbs to make sure that they're in good condition. This looks great. I'll set it aside. Do the same for this one. Take a peek. Great as well. There it is, friends.
We've got our new lamp assembly here, let's get ready for an install. If you were to turn it around, you would see that it has two pitons. Those two pitons have to fit into the holes on the body of the vehicle. Keeping that in mind, we're gonna install our bulbs. The one with the green goes to the lower area here which is also the reverse lamp. Go ahead and put it in, turn it to the right to lock it in. Same for the top, for the brake/directional. Slide it in. Now we're gonna line up our pitons with those holes. Line them up. Put this so it's going in straight. Give it a couple loving bonks, make sure it's situated all the way around. This looks great. We've got our two mounting bolts, put both those in and snug them up. Give it a nice tug, make sure it's completely secured. The last thing we have to do is shut the tailgate and, of course, test our lamp.
All right. We've got some running lights, brakes, reverse, and, of course, our directional.
