How do I change the headlight on a 2003 Ford Ranger?

I'm trying to install new bulbs but can't get the old bulb assemblies out. I've tried (seemingly) everything but can't get the room to work. I want to change both but the passenger side seems to be even harder than the driver side. Any advice?How do I change the headlight on a 2003 Ford Ranger?Should be fairly straightforward. Twist the assembly counter clockwise then pull gently. Should come out.



Make sure not to touch the replacement bulb with your hand. The oil on your skin will shorten the life of the bulb. Wear a glove or use a plastic bag.How do I change the headlight on a 2003 Ford Ranger?David Z is wrong. Remove black plastic strip above headlight (3 screws), left flat bar clips (about 1%26quot; wide metal bars) on either side of headlight straight up, whole assembly will come straight out making bulbs VERY easy to access. Just twist the retaining ring, lift the lock tab %26amp; the bulb's out.
