Headlights - Diesel Forum

What year did Ford change to the clear lens headlights on our superduty and will they fit on my 99.5?
I tried projector lights last year and while they look awsome, I do not like the specific patterns they project. I hope to get clear headlights and move into the HID world.

2002 thru 2004 have the clear lenses. Silverstar ultras #9007 work real well.

they will bolt right in
can be a PITA though remove batterys for easier access

Don't take out the batteries, instead remove the 8 bolts that hold the "Grill Filler" and the whole assembly comes out. This will give you access to the back of the headlights to pull the clips off.

do the 05-07 head lights fit in the older trucks too?
(99.5-04)

yes they do but the only way ive seen it done is to replace the grill and all

I just did this 2 days ago on my 99. You don't have to remove the batterys or the grill filler. Just remove the headlights. The "trick" is removing the silver clips. I saw all the tips listed on this forum, but they were ineffective. I used a flat blade screw driver that I heated the tip with a torch & bent it into a "U". I use this tool to remove heater hoses. I used this tool to remove the headlight clips. The clips are spring clips, so they need an impact load to pop them loose. So, I got under the clip with my u tip screwdriver and gave it a sharp yank. The clips pop out without damage & can be reused.
