Headlight removal tool

[Blue-By-U]

Does Ford sell a tool to remove the headlights? I need to replace mine and can't figure out how to get them off shrug

use a long nose plier and a small flat head screw driver, be real careful on the lower clip(two upper and one lower clip), if it breaks, u can still use it or replace it....

The proper tool to use is snap ring pliers. They go into the 2 small holes that are on the ears of the headlight clips. I've never tried using them on these though, I just use the needle nose and screwdriver method.

FYI:... I bought snapring pliers to ensure I didn't break the clips, but I ended up with pliers that didn't spread far enough. Oh well...

What I ended up doing was using pliers as stated above, just grab the top of the clip and wiggle side to side as you pull up. If the tabs catch it too much, use the screwdriver to pull it back while you pull up with the pliers again. I didn't break any of my clips using this method... once you get the first one off, the others are cake.

Good luck...
