I actually did this on Friday afternoon, but Ive been too busy to post about it. I worked from 10am to 8pm on Friday, from 4pm to 3am on Saturday. Then did homework (in between naps) yesterday. It came out to $41.99 including the lens, tax and the entrance fee to the junkyard on Thursday. It was also super easy. It was held in with 4 screws. What is up with Ford and the number 4? My door was held on with 4 bolts, the taillight with 4 screws, the head shield with 4 clips. The door card was held in with 4 screws too! I wonder how many other parts are held on with 4 fasteners?

I also scored a Philco-Ford AM Tube radio for free out of a 1969 Mercury Cougar from my neighbor. It supposedly works, I know the preset switches and knobs do at least. But from the paperwork I have with it, It seems it was removed when the car was upgraded to FM and couldve been re-installed for $7.50. So it at least worked when it was removed from the car, judging by that re-install price it was at least 3 decades ago, soit may or may not work now.

Try removing the headlights. I dare you.

Good luck, man. I replaced the lights on my friend’s Ranger V6 and it ended up taking two days. Ford, in their infinite wisdom, make the screws that hold the lights in place the same screws that hold the lights to the truck. And they have no bolt heads or anything.

Take pictures and do a write-up for future intrepid people who want to try it. I sure wished I had one.
