Here's how to replace a headlight bulb as demonstrated on my 2001 Ford Ranger Edge. This should be the same process for a 2001-2010 Ford Ranger. I never replaced my factory stock headlights until now so I found it to be worthwhile. I'm surprised my headlights lasted since I bought the truck new in March 2001. Replaced these bulbs with brand new out of packaging GE 9007NHP/BP2 Nighthawk PLATINUM Headlight bulbs I bought on Ebay. I found the hardest part of this was pushing up the retaining clips for the headlight. It might have been because they weren't moved in a little over 12 years. Also, one of the electrical sockets had one of its little retainers break off but it was still holding after I superglued it back on. You can also change your turn signal bulb and/or entire headlight assembly using this video. Anyways, I hope this helps those who want to change their headlight bulbs on their Ford Ranger
Materials needed:
Set of 9007 size headlight bulbs
ratcheting socket wrench with 5.5mm socket

It actually got a lot easier on the 2010 Ranger. No bolts or covers. Just two large retaining clips that pull upward, and the whole headlight bucket comes out. Easy! Good job on the video!

By 1:40 of the vid, I paused, and no more than 5 mins later I had replaced both halogens bulbs and shut the hood. (2004 Ford Ranger, just 90k miles) Much thanks!

2001-10 Mazdas have different configurations and some Fords as well. Just depends on the model. My has retainers as well as a small plastic clip at the bottom of the assembly. To save time and money get a repair manual for you're exact model to save time and money. Some websites will have it or you can get one at an auto parts store for $30

Just did a driver s headlite today in frozen Minnesota. There was no cover on top, had to WD 40 those pull up thing s and chip away thick ice around headlight. Of course it was those little plastic clip to light disinagrated in the cold so two type s of tape to find one that will kind of stick together and good to go between snow storms. This job would be much easier if it was above 32 degrees , the little plasitic clip to connect to bulb would have survived but we cant control weather so improvise to survive till warmer weather !

To change a 2008 Mazda B2300 parking light bulb, use a 5.5mm or 7/32" socket, universal and short extension. Remove the small screw that goes into the top of the Parking light beside the Headlight adjusting screw. The lens assembly then pulls straight out Forward! You're welcome.

I don't know. They could be as the Mazda B series is the same thing as a Ford Ranger. See if you have the clips under the hood. Sadly, I just traded in my Ranger for a 2014 Honda CR-V (more family practical).

@TheGoose31 6 жыл бұрын

Charles Ashton the problem with the mazda is it doesnt have those nice big metal levers to pull to unlock the headlight. Instead it uses super small fingernail sized headlight clips that you have to remove with needle nozed pliers. Then you fight the assembly out with your hands since just like in this video those plastic clampy things grab onto the assembly

Fsilone in the mazda the stupid thing is it doesnt have the nice big metal lever to loosen the assembly. You have to use needle nozed pliers to grab the small headlight clips and remove them (pain in the neck) then muscle and wiggle the assembly out. It will take a while if you are not lucky but it will come trust me
