2019 Ranger XLT to Lariat Headlamp Swap

[@Etropal1]

It’s a complete pain, but I accomplished it because of your video. Thank you!

[@PokemonUnwrapped]

Thanks to this video, mission accomplished! Thanks for this tutorial. Put lariat headlights in my xlt as well. Some parts were pretty tough. I did not end up unscrewing the wheel well mud barrier. The screws were plastic and stripped out. Luckily was able to work around them. Putting it back together was waaaaay easier than I thought. I put that wind guard in before putting the front grill back on. Good stuff. Thanks again!

[@ericmrobinson]

Awesome, glad the video helped.

[@Nic-cr8hw]

Thinking about doing the exact same where do you order the headlights from?

[@PH-ev5hb]

Good video. That's a ton of work just to replace some lights. Unbelievable.

[@PapawsDadillacOEMplus]

Great video. We will be doing this on my friends truck and I wanted to get an idea before we dig in. Thanks alot

[@jamescameron6806]

i'm doing this right now and when it came to the side marker, it took me way too long to realize the thing was held in with a tab, so thanks for mentioning that there are videos about this or I would've probably bent my valence lol

[@jamescameron6806]

5:25 also, I found it much easier to find the nub at the end of the screw, between the gap in the "pinch" points of the clip, and pushing down with my fingernail while unscrewing from the other side. this way you don't need to rely on pressure alone to get the screw out

[@Maniac742]

Well, after completing this task for my Alpharex Novas I have to say, that was a metric pain in the ass. It took about 1.7 "fuck!"s to get the fender flare clips off and about 9.63" damnits" to finally free the balance. Thankfully it all went back on easier than it came off. POS plastic screw clips never work as advertised either.

[@jackgrims]

I’m about to purchase the alphaRex’s for my ranger. Is it the exact same as the lariat light install basically? It just plug and play?

[@TheKingOfHalo]

I am done swapping headlights after performing a morimoto hid projector retrofit on my old 2000 Explorer and morimoto XB led fog lights. I’ll just buy a lariat when I get a new ranger. Nice work though, that’s impressive.

[@TevisC]

How much of an upgrade over the halogens are these, including fog? My father's limited Ram is good in clear conditions, but absolutely awful in fog. We compared his truck to my wife's tradesmen with separate high/low side by side. Wife's truck high beams were useful, His just makes a super bright cone that lights up the water particles right down the road centerline.

[@donnymazinga5295]

Nice work and thanks for posting!

[@cm1133]

Do you know if the XL to Lariat conversation is the same plug and play?

[@Rangertex2.3]

Why would you have to take the grill off if you’re also taking the valence off..?

[@other4819]

how much that cost you per back 4 years ago, I just called on em today 1700 a piece...

[@linuxotherthoughts-qt6pb]

I can't get the fender liner off, yours seems to already be removed

[@dougsmith9088]

After you pull back the fender flair to access the first valance screw, what size is that screw?

[@patrickmulligan3101]

did you have to install a DRL wiring harness?

[@kylefletcher1002]

Whats the list of tools needed I get sidetracked easy lol swapping from lariat lights to alpha rex

[@ddroz23]

Great video. They def designed the headlamp to be Labor cost expensive to replace. I had shit engineering like that. None of the vehicles today are service friendly.

[@1431darkblood]

Thank to your video i did it 🔥🤯

[@patrickmulligan3101]

dude i love your magnetic antenna. what is that

[@Synfulz]

Good informative video.

[@dale2605]

How do you remove the front emblem from 2019 Ford Ranger lariat

[@MatthewFant]

The million dollar question is, where do you buy the led ones?

[@AlphaRaceWerks]

Do you know how much it cost to grab a set? I have a XLT ranger and I can’t agree with you more. The headlights are ugly and the DRL on the lariat are just better in every way.

[@ninevoltromeo]

I looked into the Lariat headlamp assemblies for my Ranger, and I was told by my local dealer they were somewhere in the $2,000 range. I want them but not that bad. I'll check the junkyards out also.

[@johnnydegroot4240]

Did you have any problems with the torque screws stripping, everyone I've tried to get at keeps stripping?

[@HMaustin84]

I’ve had only one strip on me. Key is quality bits. When the 25 stripped, I was able to use a 30 to get it.

[@youknowitsmetheone]

One question, does that assembly come with the appropriate LED/HID bulb or do you have to buy that too? I heard from someone on a forum that it comes with a Halogen bulb?? Thanks for the video

[@ericmrobinson]

The headlamp assemblies come complete with the LED bulbs.

[@HMaustin84]

What was the total amount of time spent on this?

[@MikeTechTactical]

Nice video man. I’m subbed in

[@ohialehuacrozier8638]

Thanks brother

[@lawsonleavell6189]

Great video! Do you have an idea how to install Lariat mirrors on an XLT?

[@CrazyGreek80]

Looks great lots of work and $$$. I just upgraded my bulbs to the GTR 2.0 and works great. I looked at aftermarket headlights like the alpha Rex but too gimmicky the startup lights to seem more novelty. I prefer more go than show..

[@ericmrobinson]

Agreed, most of the aftermarket lights are pretty cheesy. Enjoy your bulbs. Any upgrade over the halogen is definitely an improvement.

[@nigelpaul7471]

Good Day Eric, will these lights work with the Australian / South African model XLT Rangers??

[@ericmrobinson]

Nigel Paul I haven’t got a clue. I would imagine they would be slightly different in some way.

[@albertorojas5158]

Where did you buy the headlights and how much did you pay for them?

[@ericmrobinson]

I got them from the dealer and payed around $2100.

[@mattgeiger9988]

@@ericmrobinson that is way to much! that's a cheap beater car to much

[@TheRgoyena]

LED doesn't work?

[@kmon97]

Where did you purchase headlights?

[@ericmrobinson]

Sorry for the late response. I got them directly from the dealer with a pretty good discount.

[@markarniedimayuga1192]

Sir, do you have video on how to change the headlight for ford everest 2018 model? Thank you

[@markarniedimayuga1192]

I hope you can reply here. Or can i have your email? I just have some questions. Thank you!

[@vhockada]

@@markarniedimayuga1192 I’m gonna let you know he’s probably in the US therefore we don’t get the Everest. Never have so he probably can’t help with that.

[@ajzerep4538]

how about the DRL? ive got one and i want to enable it.

[@ericmrobinson]

Not a problem, you can absolutely run daytime LED lamps. All it takes is a few changes through Forscan and you will be up and running. Do a quick search on Google or take look on the "Ranger 5G" forums and that should get you squared away..

[@octavioramirez3587]

Good

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Your garage is too clean. Headlamps look great. Must of cost some 💸💸

[@sebassramn7963]

What type of lift and wheel/tire setup ?

[@ericmrobinson]

Just a 2.5 inch Rough Country level kit. It is sitting on Method 701 wheels. Tires are BFG KO2's. 265/70/17 with a "C" load rating.

[@sebassramn7963]

Eric Robinson thanks man great video !!!

[@doriangreen3231]

Have fun getting those two 30 torx screws behind the skid plate. It's irritating as hell.

[@Hashpassion]

your drl didn't work..?

[@ericmrobinson]

You have to make some changes in “Forscan” to initialize drl on with the led strip. There are posts in the Ranger5G forum on how to do it.

[@kunanjitmaibam9732]

Where can I get one of these new headlamp

[@ericmrobinson]

These are the headlamps that came with the Lariat and you can order them through any Ford Dealer.
