- Hi Everyone, welcome to the Ranger Shop!
I created this channel to focus on everything to do with Ford Rangers. I love these little trucks, they are cheap easy to modify and great off road.
Please follow along if you have a Ranger and want to learn about modifying and repairing it.
In this video I I Install my aftermarket lights
Thanks for watching, we will see you in the next video.
Parts used - I would recommend buying on EBay it’s much cheaper and you buy right from the manufacturer….. but I put some links below to the same style sold on Amazon Canada couldn’t find them on Amazon US so you can see the style and quality.

Yeah, I echo your penchant for the dielectric grease. I am a huge fan of it on literally every connection, enclosed or exposed to the elements. Makes any subsequent removal much easier plus the added anti-corrosion benefit.
Nice lights. Makes the Ranger look modern.
Which brand are these ones? How are they holding up a year later?
Thanks for this video! I'll probably be putting these on my just purchased 2004 ranger xl
I get tons of comments on them…, I think they are the best out there and very good quality!
Hey I just bought these, how do they adjust? Mine are way too low and I can’t figure out how to adjust them upward, thanks merry Christmas!
They are the best lights I’ve owned! No moisture or yellowing! 👌
The worst part is you really need to pull them out adjust it a bit higher and clip them back it. They don’t have the adjustment access able outside the light. Once I get my straight axles in I will probably need to adjust them I’ll see if I can post a short how I do it…. Either way it’s a real pain to adjust
Los faros donde los puedo conseguir para una Ranger 1999, lo agradecería mucho, por favor
Awesome setup I got those exact ones on my ranger!
Yeah they are really nice… more then I’d normally pay but I figured worth it. I’m totally impressed with the quality. Only had them on for a few days but love them. 👍
How they holding up ?
If you look great with that change of lights, that's what I want to just change the ones in front, I have a 2003 Ranger 4x4
Nice! These lights are great, no problems at all. No moisture inside everything working 👌👍
What’s up brotha quick question I got the same lights I would like to know if/how were you able to adjust your lights mine are pointing down a little bit.
No sorry I can’t remember…. I think for my set up they were very close to perfect
Did you have trouble with it being able to be secured with the clips? I got these for my 01 ranger and it didn’t secure too well
At first it was very tough but I got them to click once I got all the wires from behind the light out of the way. It’s definitely tight but I got both clips on both sides.
How did you adjust the bulbs if you don’t mind me asking
What kind of paint job did you do on this ranger, I'm from Brazil and I have a 97 stx V6
I sprayed it with Raptor Liner. Here’s a link to the video….

I’m looking into getting these lights and changing the drl to amber and maybe adding sequiential turn signals. How are the lights bonded together? Glue? Ultrasonic welds? Permanent seal or are they able to be heated up and taken apart?
I’m really not sure but they are really well sealed up. Unlike my other aftermarket lights no water or moisture has gotten in. Sorry I couldn’t be more help.
Where did you purchase them please send link
Hey Buddy how did you aim these headlights I’ve got the same ones and the normal method to aim them isn’t adjusting the actual headlight
I’m not sure it’s been over a year ago but I don’t think I could adjust them. Mine just worked out right.
where did you buy the light bar you have on the blind, the one with RC. how can i find it?
This is what I bought… it was in Amazon clearance.
Rough Country 12" Black Series Single Row CREE LED Light Bar - 70712BL a.co/d/i7d1gnP
Hello sir pls explain how you installed the led thing for the tail lights? Also how do I adjust these for better visibility? Mine came aiming at the ground?
The Ballast I just zip tied tight to the wiring no problems so far.
Setting the headlight is a bit of a pain, you need to remove them each time you change adjustments. I pace out the distance and use my shop door then adjust them till close. Mine seems to be good. Make sure your curb height is set in your truck also. Because the lights won’t compensate for a nose down rake. Hope that helps a bit…. Still love the lights not a drop of moisture in them and they are 👌
So overall thoughts? How about the operation, do they “see” better than that crap that’s in it before? How’s is fitment? Like stock or loose?
Definitely better then stock. Much brighter and way cooler! Way better then any other aftermarket lights I’ve bought, nice thick plastic, good quality plastic with nice sockets and wires. The fit is as nice as stock and so far no moisture or leaks
Highly recommend them!
Hey man great video! Can you explain the ballast you installed for the tail lights? Is that needed for the front and rear lights to have the led run all the time? Appreciated!
It came with the ballast all prewired in. I think your right it’s for the LEDs to work. Beyond that I’m not really sure.
I saw the ballast was connected to the tail light but what was it connected to on the other side? Just like did you just stick it up there only hooked up to the tail light or is it getting power from somewhere through the ballast and into the light…
where can i order that item,, LED lights for 2994 Ford ranger
I got mine off EBay 👍
I hate so much I can’t install these on my mazda b3000 same truck but only a few slight differences exterior wise
That stinks!
@@RangerShop1 yeah true lol 😂 but love ur truck its nice!
What name your market sir very nice
C'mon.
You spent more time showing the packaging than the actual install or worse, the working lights. How about at night? Headlights, high beam..? Signals? Backup?
I blinked and suddenly it was over. I thought it was going to another commercial or it glitched.. like, you just stopped!
That was abrupt, my man!
Boooo!
We need need more.
😂
Ok I’ll see if I can add to it… 👍
I actually filmed a closing video wrapping it up with some shots but it didn’t come out so I didn’t use it… I’ll throw in some footage tomorrow and repost it. Thanks for the feedback 👍
Will it a fit Mazda b4000
I am not sure, sorry!
Did the front lights require ballast as well? And if so did they come with them?
They have a built in ballast for the led lights but the main headlights are just your normal bulbs they aren’t led…. It was what I wanted.
@@RangerShop1 thank you. So if I were to put LED bulbs in the main headlight slot as well, I’d need to install a ballast?
@@dokuganryu44 yes then you would need a bulb with a built in ballast. Honestly though they work great just the way they are. Get yourself an awesome light bar when you want to light up the night other then that these work great just the way they are.
Is it compatible with EU Ford Ranger?
Sorry I’m not sure… I think not but I’m not 100% sure
@@RangerShop1 No problems thanks for answering ;)
Do you think these would fit up on a 95???
Sorry I’m not really sure my gut says no unless you could swap the grill. I think that year has the marker light under the headlight. But I’m sure someone has done it. 😄
Does anyone know if the upper knockout on these is for accommodating the separate turn signal? I noticed there’s a 3rd opening with the cover in it and I’d like to install these in my 99 w 3 bulbs
Sorry I don’t know. Anyways you could combine the wires into one bulb. Park and Signal… rather than separate bulbs? I’m just guessing
Love the taillights. Are they the black smoked or just regular black?
I got just the regular not the smoke 👍
These lights look cool👍Where can I get it？
Thanks! We are really happy with them! I just ordered them off eBay 👍
How can i find this item...can you give me link to find it
I’m sorry can’t seem to find it anymore I’ve erased my email…. I bought them off eBay… I think I either posted it in the description or in a comment before.
Ouch @ the price
Yeah definitely steep but good quality and no moisture problems yet!
remove the video recommendation, can't see the last part
