The Ford Ranger is an awesome small-body truck that often doesn't get the credit it deserves. It's a truck that is up to whatever task you can throw at it, but when it comes to headlight customizations, the options available all underperform when compared to the OEM Halogen and the OEM LED headlights. The only LED headlight option that can outperform the factory headlights is the Morimoto XB LED headlights. These lights aren't just for looks, they are 25% brighter than the OEM LED headlights! As usual, Chris will go over all of the cool functions and specifications of these XB LED headlights, and Caleb will show you everything you need to know to install these headlights onto your own Ranger.

We Do Lighting Better Because We Test!

[@peterc4368]

Really excellent step by step on mounting these. Most thorough tutorial I have seen. Thanks.

[@kinj0]

3 things to say......1) that's a whole lot of bolts, screws and clips. 2) that's one dirty engine bay. 3) that is one hell of a good looking headlight.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Haha, yes we were even surprised on just how many steps were involved with taking off this front bumper. Thanks for the funny comment!

[@johnnydegroot4240]

I have alpharex nova headlights for my ranger and even on how impressive the morimoto headlights are I like how the alpharex headlights look! Awesome video as usual guys! If you guys want me to bring my ranger in to showcase something let me know!

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Thanks for sharing!

[@thepunisher374]

Alrighty guys so now that we've disassembled the entire truck we're almost ready to swap out a headlight, just a few more bolts.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

LOL basically!

[@PrelandRanger]

All that to swap my headlights! L ford I just my alpha Rex luxx will be here Thursday 😂

[@attilahardy3448]

Hello, are there similar read tail light assemblies with the cool type directional or what tail light upgrade do you suggest? Thanks in advance

[@stephencarbajal5657]

These look awesome, im not happy with the halogen lights so I look forward to purchasing these definitely not looking for to installing them thou that's alot of work just install headlamps, I've done jeeps in the past and it's like a ten min job lol. Cheers

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Newer vehicles SUCK for installs 😭

[@drm35t36an]

Wiring seems simple enough but maaaaan all that to remove a headlight👁👁

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Ford made it real fun huh 🤣

[@BleedOrangeNGreen]

Before buying a new Ranger I had a brand new 2018 F150 that I immediately bought Morimoto XB headlights, fog lights and tail lights for. You do wind up tearing down the entire front end of the truck but it's all easy lifting and the step by step instructions either on youtube made it so simple. Sure I was nervous at first tearing down a truck I had for about a week but 100% worth it. I said after seeing them on my f150 I wouldn't hesitate to do them again because they look so good so that's where I am at. The light output is ridiculously good.

[@anthonyllenrof]

Can you try out the “Diamond vision F6”, the Novsight lights and also the Phillips ultinon? As high end lights that compete with GTR

[@HeadlightRevolution]

We could possibly test these at some point!

[@Acidrain50001]

So my 2022 Ranger came in finally and it was built wrong without the LED's so I really like these and am willing to purchase them but I have a problem. How do you turn off the DRL? Without it being controlled with the menu when I am at a drive in or need them off with power inside how is this done now? I would hate this to be a deal breaker but I need control of them. Thanks great video and BS for Ford making this many steps..

[@HeadlightRevolution]

You would have to wire up a custom switch, these tap into a fuse that gets power with ignition normally.

[@tylerm1744]

Awesome video! Can you comment on who’s ranger that is? Are they in Instagram? Cheers

[@ranger8729]

One item that was not addressed in this video is the DRL of the XL and XLT Halogen headlamps - those use the low beam bulbs as DRL instead of the Lariat dedicated DRL LED. Would this Morimoto headlamp activate the low beams when it receives the DRL signal from the truck, or would it leave the low beams off and activate the new DRL instead?

[@HeadlightRevolution]

The low beam on the Morimoto headlight would come on, UNLESS, you disable the factory DRL function using the truck's infotainment menu. Also, the Morimoto headlights DRL bar, is powered independently, via the fuse tap. so it's not dependent on the DRL signal from the truck, just power from the fuse box.

[@ranger8729]

@@HeadlightRevolution Thanks! Good to know that the dash option will work!

[@filipebreda640]

This fuse Box, number 19, Will turn on The drl when unlock the doors and the alarm? Or The drl only Will activate when turn the key?

[@julienorset5399]

Hello, is the plug and play system the same as for the European versions? I am in France and before ordering them, I ask myself this question. THANKS!

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Please reach out to customer support and send over a picture of the plug on your vehicle so we can look into this for you!

[@jckf]

What differences are there between the 2015-2018 models and 2019+ models that make these incompatible with the older trucks? They appear to be pretty much the same shape and dimensions 🤔

[@drivenhaley4428]

The difference is 2015-2018 is a foreign market vehicle for the USA, technically we didn't have Ford Rangers from 2013-2018. They were brought back into the USA for the 2019+ options.

[@jckf]

@@drivenhaley4428 Yup, I'm aware. It gets confusing for us foreigners when a lot of the information online says 19 and up since we don't know if it's because of an actual difference that makes the part incompatible, or just because the people who wrote it are in the states 😕

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Haley coming in clutch again!

[@Ryv3x]

So with the XLT, and DRL disabled from the settings menu inside. The DRL will still come on during the day, but the low beams will not? Correct?

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Correct

[@da9gsr91]

I bet if you put the GTR lighting in the factory halogens or led, they would be way brighter than the morimoto full assemblies

[@HeadlightRevolution]

More intense in the center maybe but the spread of light from the full assemblies is unmatched!

[@Clegghorn33]

That fuse you took out was the power steering assist in my truck… The lighting control fuse is blocked by the big black square fuse. What should I do?

[@austinharvey6532]

I have the same question!

[@brandonsheffield9873]

How much are those LEDs? Do they VIOD warranty?

[@ReefMimic]

Who makes the led? Cree? Philips? Lifespan of the run time of led?

[@HeadlightRevolution]

They are made by Osram.

Do you guys have these headlights for the RHD market ?

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Not at this time, sorry!

[@thetad1242]

Will it work on the Word Ranger Raptor?

[@HeadlightRevolution]

We don't have one to test in the US market.

[@oriellejob3162]

Can this head light work on the 20 17 to 2018 models

[@HeadlightRevolution]

No, this is a 19+ headlight.

[@jasonderby7635]

If I have stock halogen can I upgrade to morimoto led?

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Yep! Plug and play!

[@rshinn8776]

i dont think i've worked on a vehicle with headlights that are as much of a pita to remove as this

[@cadenjacobs8733]

Just finished the install took about 4 hours. I’m pretty slow but thanks so much for the video very thorough. Thanks for being pretty much the only guys out there making videos on these PITA vehicles 👍🏽🫶🏼

No plans as of yet,

[@henriwolbrink]

What about JB Predator tri headlights?

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Never heard of them!

[@dashadowknows]

What about Stock halogen with your HR LED bulb?

[@drivenhaley4428]

We did testing for this a long time ago! Here is the video if you missed it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHaxkmB3otGbrpI

[@dashadowknows]

@@drivenhaley4428 just standard upgrade led bulb will out perform this new headlight, so we really just getting a new design. At least the new headlight unit better than stock. I will stick to my $50 led bulb. And maybe get these headlight units if they go down in price. TY.

[@drivenhaley4428]

That is not necessarily true if you think about it. Putting an LED replacement into an OEM headlight can be brighter, in this case, 217% brighter... but it can also be lacking vital things needed for good lighting. When you put the LED replacement into a stock housing, you're going to have more glare regardless. You also aren't going to get such an intense beam pattern that a dedicated projector would give you. If anyone were to ask what I prefer, the brighter LED or the dedicated projector housing I would go with projector any day. The XB LEDs use dedicated LED projectors which not only give you a bight output but also have a CLEAR cut-off line and step-up beam pattern. Not to mention, the XB LED headlights will have a wider beam pattern than the OEM or LED replacement would. There are many benefits to upgrade to the XB LED full headlight unit.

[@ranger8729]

@@drivenhaley4428 100% agree - My XLT will be getting these. I didn't get the Lariat due to a few reasons in build and options, and the stock Halogens definitely need to be swapped, but not with the standard reflectors. The LED projectors are the safer and probably more durable (most LED drop-ins cant' fit the dust caps) option for me.

[@HeadlightRevolution]

Haley got this exactly right!

[@myplaxismodelisbetterthanyours]

Ok guys we are almost there, just four tx30 bolts, 18 tx25s, 47 10mm bolts, 7 clips, some Velcro, little bit of glue, and lastly some zip ties made of adamantium .
