How do you remove the driverside headlight on f-450?

Answer 1

What a pain.

First remove the two trim nuts (7/32 head) that hold the flasher/hazard lights in place. These are located at the very bottom of the light assembly. Pull the running lights/turn signal assembly out.

Then remove the four trim screws (phillips) that hold the plastic trim cover over the light.

Next remove either all four or just the top two trim screws that hold the metal frame that holds the light itself in place. Remove the connector from the back of the light from the engine side, wiggle the light out.

Assembly is the reverse of this.

Don't forget to find a wall and check the alignment of the beam when done.

Answer 2

Disconnect the battery, then turn the headlight knob all the way to the on position.

While pulling the knob, you should see a little notch on the back side of the knob. Insert a very small screwdriver or similar tool under the knob and the knob should release.

After removing the knob, you put the knob back on 180 degrees backwards (so the notch is in the headlight on position. Turn the knob again like you are turning the headlights on and this should release the cam that holds the whole headlight swith module in the dash. GENTLY rock/pull the whole unit out of the dash. There should be 3 connectors you will have to disconnect.
