Metal clips: Make sure you check that the metal clips are in the right positions before you put the grill back in. One of mine jumped off and I had to start over. Thanks John for the video. You saved me a lot of time.

[@chrisheider7688]

Thank you for the video, it was a life saver, apparently i never had to replace any bulbs in my 2011 since owning in 2014. I went ahead and changed all 3 bulbs on each side since i had it apart.

[@kenanderson2216]

Perfect. Now it's my turn!

[@CurtDanner]

Thank you so much john, very informative and useful.

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Your welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@chastoncontracting9742]

Very Helpful thank you, Now i know i need a mechanic to do this for for me.

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Thanks for watching!

[@electropentatonic]

Great video and comparison. Thank you. I purchased some 4000k led foglights and would like to take some of the yellow out of my headlamps so they match better. It looks like these are a great place to start.

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dds6371]

On gas engines, you can get to the passenger bulb easily, there is nothing in the way. On the driver's side just take out about 5 screws in the fender well and reach upp and turn the bulb. It's a hell of a lot quicker and easlier

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Great tip i will have to try it sometime. Thanks for watching!

[@Tom-il5xu]

I bought the same silver star bulbs and did the test with a light meter before and after and Did Not notice any difference whatsoever what a waste of time and money. contacting sylvania to let them show me in real testing that there bulb is brighter as stated ..thanks for your time and making the video

[@JohnFrancoNH]

I did notice a difference over stock bulbs. The light is whiter and brighter on the road and it lights up objects further out nicely. The light meter is only measuring lumens...what it does not account for is the color of the light which matter just as much as output lumens. Thanks for watching!

[@craigh3332]

Great video

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Thanks for watching!

[@kate7580]

John, It would have been helpful to see stock and upgraded side by side or alternate between at end of video. Easy to do, VERY illustrative that way.

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Thanks for watching!

[@CristianOrnelas602]

Awesome video! I’m just wondering why you didn’t put like some Amazon LED headlamps. Those are super nice

[@FromSteelToWood]

John, when you remove the headlamp, how do you keep the adjustement of it? Is it adjusted on a subplate that remains on the truck when you remove the headlamp? You have courage to go through those plastic clips and undo them. I would be afraid to break them! Thanks for sharing!

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Headlamp adjustments are made on the receiving end of the headlamp housing. Once you snap it into the carrier. The carrier has adjustment screw at the top. Yes those clips are not easy to reach. I had to be very careful! Thanks for watching!

Hello. I want to install a 2008 Ford F-250 hood, headlight, bumper, front fenders on a 2002 Ford Excursion. Please tell me is it possible?

[@jsurber3]

I come to this video to see how to turn the socket for the headlight. I just broke mine.. and it skips that part 😭

[@rarelyright]

Air box pops out pretty easily to get to bulbs on back side driver side headlamp without removing Grill

[@danwhite7789]

What about the other side?

[@andrewstratton806]

@@danwhite7789 other side is wide open. No need to remove anything on the passenger side

[@vladimirabreu2279]

You can remove the battery on driver side in battery panel in you have access to the light less work to replace it

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Great tip! Thanks for watching!

[@jtsfishing5571]

my battery on passenger side air box and radiator overflow has to come out

[@williamsantiago7303]

I have a 2011 f250 with a grille guard and winch and aftermarket lights mounted all together on the guard. Is it possible to do it from behind if push comes to shove? I really don't want to tear the front end of my rig but if that's the ONLY way then it is what it is😡. Anyway great video buddy and VERY informative, take care bud.

Thanks for watching!

[@dragonichannel9981]

John exactly what was the arrangement of lighting specs Headlight Marker light Fog light Can we get model #s what exactly you used

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Thanks for the feedback. I have added amazon links to the bulbs i used in the video. Still have them on my truck as of today. Very happen with the looks and performance. Thanks for watching!

[@user-ms3sz5uq4x]

You didn't show how to disconnect bulbs

[@dragonichannel9981]

Which bulbs in the Amazon links did you not use, in the video the one of the amber lights did not work out for you and you decided on incandescent for the headlight?

[@JohnFrancoNH]

The first 3 links below the video are the ones i use. I went with the incandescent style Silverstar amber bulbs

[@bassproable]

I changed my 16' F350 with LEDs much better.

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Which ones? Do you still have good light projected forward? Or just a bunch of scattered light? Thanks for watching!

[@mikz86ta1]

Lasfit makes some good options. They have one that has multiple LEDs in a top, angle back and angle forward array which can fill the reflector better. Not tried them on this truck yet but we have some on order. We have a 2016 F350 DRW. I also ordered the switchback white park/Amber flash which is a cylinder type.

[@ricosplace1]

Thought about doing led’s but it was illegal to use led’s on public roadways unless they’ve changed that.

[@mikz86ta1]

Looks the same. Been down this road. The original Silverstars from early 2000s were brighter and whiter. But the new ones are just like stock. Not worth the premium price.

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Definitely brighter and whiter. Still happy with my choice still. Thanks for watching.

I bought the silver star Ultra h13 and didn't notice any difference compared side by side when installed on my truck so I am still using my factory bulbs .i measured the light output 55 watts /12 volts and see no difference. Thanks for the comments

[@lifebeginsat190]

Do the bulbs just quarter turn out. .you skipped the whole reason I clicked on this video

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Video is about a bulb upgrade not intended as instruction. But yes i believe they do. Thanks for watching!

Now you need a mechanic to install a new wiper switch so you can turn off your wipers when it's not raining. 🙄

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Thanks for watching!

[@usmarinecorps05]

Lol looks the same....spend your money on LEDs bud

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Not so...noticed a brighter and whiter light for sure. LEDs are not really designed for this factory housing. The reflector is set at a certain focal distance for halogen bulb's transverse filament. You will get a ton of stray light and blind oncoming vehicles when not using the intend bulb for the housings optical design. Thanks for watching!

[@crisc6289]

My friend I have led bulbs on my 2016 ford f250 and made such a big difference should really consider it

[@rvadventures]

No difference, another reason not to use silvana

[@JohnFrancoNH]

When seeing these bulbs in person there IS a difference Sylvania all day my friend.

[@rvadventures]

You're right 100% Sylvania lights suck! Just do led or hid

Ford headlights suck on their superduty trucks that's all I can say .sorry but I see no side by side comparison 2015 Ford 350

[@JohnFrancoNH]

I beg to differ, care to make a video why?...Thanks for watching!

[@mikz86ta1]

They aren't the worse ones I've dealt with. I was disappointed beat back in 2011 when these came out....I thought Ford had cut the cord using those shitty dual filiment hi/lo bulbs. These looked like they had a separate high and low beam housing. Nope, they decided to add a gynormous turn signal. Such a waste. I was waiting on the aftermarket to do a separate high and low beam kit and use the same housing

[@user-fg5vf1gp5c]

what a joke this is..dude is starving for attention..remove the air box on drivers side and the bulbs are right there..on the passenger side just reach over the fender..no need for all this wrenching...
