Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the trim around the side parking lights on this 1996 Ranger, same as a '93 to '97 Ranger. Tools you'll need for this repair are a Phillips screwdriver and an 11 millimeter wrench or a socket & ratchet. We also did need a quarter inch socket, but I think it's because somebody put a quarter inch bolt in rather than a Phillips screw. Also, you'll notice that we put some other parts like the grille and new headlights in during this repair. It just makes the truck look a little fresher, adds a little bit of a face lift.
Remove the grille by removing six Phillips screws: one, two, three, four, five, and six. Now, the grille, you just kind of pull up at the top, up on the other side, over and up and out.
You'll want to remove the parking light which involves removing an 11 millimeter nut right there. An 11 millimeter with a ratchet. A wrench works fine as well. Now, put your fingers in behind here. It's held in by just a couple of pins that have to push through. Feed the wiring harness out.
Here's the signal light. If you're looking to just change his bulb, turn it counterclockwise. Pull it out. You're going to notice in these next couple clips that the headlight is removed from the truck. You do not need to headlight. I just am using some footage from a different project I was using, so again, you don't need to remove the headlight to remove these pieces of trim.
There are three fasteners. I've got a quarter inch bolt here, although I think it's probably supposed to be a Phillips screw. Then there are two Phillips screws down here. One there and one there. On our new one, we do have to attach the gaskets. We're just going to use some contact cement on the back edge. Put gasket on. Front and back. You can see we've started in, and we've actually tightened the two screws that go into the fender, and then we just want to get the top bolt in. We're going to keep that loose for when we put the grill together later.
What you're probably going to want to do is unplug the bulb from the harness and then put it in. Plug in the bulb. Make this and this line up with little clips. You're just going to peek in. Get one of them in. You might need to push the harness back in a little bit. Put the other one in. Make sure that you're stud up here is lined up. Push it right back. Put your 11 millimeter nut back on. Then just pick it up. We'll start a couple of these screws in.
What we do is we loosen up this eyebrow trim here. Going to push the grille down and hook in another trim. Here you can see on the other side I used some pretty good force to push that eyebrow trim in, and then get the grille snapped on over it, and then put the other screw on the outside of the grille.
Last screw on the grille, put that in. Tighten it down first. Then tighten that eyebrow trim, the top screw on that. Then put your other two screws in. When we tighten these up you don't need to have them crazy-tight, just have them nice and firm. Now you should be all set.

everything has worked as planned. I'm planning on restoring my 1995 ford ranger, Have you guys in mind when I get it painted. Just can't decide which color. Its white now but thinking of a gun metal grey. I do have a question about doing duel exhausts, and do you sell artifisual spotlights. The Tear drop ones? Thanks Mike Hughes Taylorsville Utah

Made for quick & easy fresh look on my '96 Ranger

My Ranger's front end had taken a beating. The lights had chipping and cracks from rocks and the the matte finish factory grill looked poor. One of my headlights was also full of water.
I bought this kit and had it installed in 55 minutes start to finish. I watched 1AAuto's installation videos on YouTube several time. I am not a professional by any means, just your average homeowner that changes oil and does minor maintenance.
Not only are the lights bright again, but the whole front end has a fresh look. It literally took 22 years off the front end of this Ranger!! Would definitely recommend.
Not bad for the price

Fitment was good on everything except grille. Really tight fitment and bolt holes did not line up, had to drill new ones. Headlights started letting moisture in after 2 weeks. Good for the price, just wish the quality was a bit better

I love the way my new chrome grill looks, everything was absolutely perfect and arrived in a very very timely manner, the only thing that I can say in any negative way is that the headlights themselves don't have the square end on the backside so you're unable to adjust the headlights from behind.
Great combination
