ANYONE CRACKED A HEADLIGHT?

[DapperDean]

Asheville is full of crazy residential streets that are one lane wide and make ridiculous turns. On one turn, I hit a mailbox and cracked the right lens cover on my 202 Ranger Lariat. No damage to the actual lamps. I called Ford of Asheville parts dept and was quoted $1600 for the part because I have to replace the entire assembly! They also said that installation can be complicated and even the fender may have to come off. Has anybody bought and replaced a headlight assembly for a 5G Ranger?

ebay - enough people here have done the LED swap, there should be a how to thread somewhere

Correct headlight assemblies are just that, they are assemblies. They are not serviceable.

No the fender does not have to come off to replace them but the upper bumper pad does.

Sometimes, the members of this forum save you a ton of cash. Other times, they cost you a fortune in mods you didn’t know you needed.

Funny how things balance out, huh?

Yeah, so the Fender doesnt have to come off. Regardless the headlights take a few hours to do. I think I had it down to 3(maybe 2) hours to replace. If you dont have a hood mechanical background I suggest going to a technician at a shop. If you got tools and experience then have fun

That is an expensive understeer event. Hope you get it sorted for cheaper than 1600... yikes.

Wow. That's a costly turn. Best of luck.
