I have never removed the headlights but I think all you have to do is pull up on the two(theres actaully 4 - 2 for each light) black L shaped thingys and the headlight should just come out.

on the left and right bottom corners of this pic you will see cutouts in the plastic. those are 2 of the 4 "thingys" you have to pull up on. once you find the two in the pic on your truck, you will find the other two.


EDIT:
put up a better pic for you

When I took mine out I took out the side markers 1st and then the headlights. They just don't pop out you have to finaggle them a bit

RTFM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Procedure is outlined in the owner's manual. YOu have to tug upward pretty hard to get the "L" handles to release all the way.

yeah just pull up on both black pieces that basically hold on a peg with a rubber stop on it and slide out the whole lense,takes all of 5 min. a side. I had no problem when I changed my bulbs once you figure it out of course

So, who's not "calmed down?"

...my intent was to encourage people to try to be at least somewhat proactive, and try to solve their own problems before asking for help. Working in PC support, I deal with people every day who can't seem to solve the simplest problems without crying about it, when in fact, if they would simply read their screens or use "Help," they could fix their own problems and not distract me from solving real problems. I guess I just hate changing diapers! Too much of that in this world today.

Ford publishes an excellent owner's manual that has a lot of good information on basic maintenance of their trucks. What's wrong with being a little resourceful and self-reliant and reading or consulting the manual first? What a concept!
