Anzo Lighting - Headlights - Taillights

Our Ford's stock lighting was replaced with these components from Anzo USA. Both light sets feature black backgrounds for a tougher appearance and both sets of lights are plug-and-play. Even with the LED and cold cathode fluorescent lighting (CCFL) rings, these parts require no modifications whatsoever.

It's easy to dismiss the use of basic lighting in today's trucks as cost-cutting measures from the manufacturer. But halogen headlights and incandescent bulbs being used for run, brake, and turn functions, in many instances, use more energy and produce more heat than the highly sought-after LED counterparts. That's not to mention the lifespan deficiency in comparison. Vehicles marketed in the U.S. are headed into better use of technologies thanks to a ban on incandescent bulbs imposed for the year 2014. You can get a jump on the manufacturers thanks to companies like Anzo USA who make bolt-in, replacement lighting to suit plenty of vehicles while dressing them up at the same time. Headlights can be ordered with projectors for better light dispersion and the ability to upgrade to HID. Anzo also adds LED turn signals to many applications with matching taillights to boot. We have some plans in the works for an '11 Ford F-150, but first we wanted to add better looking, brighter, and longer lasting lighting. We contacted Auto Anything for a great price and quick shipping on the Anzo lights. Check out how we made our 2011 F-150 look great and in the process, made it safer.

1. Three fasteners held each headlight in place. The first of which was the expansion pin keeping the air deflector in place. A Phillips screwdriver was used to loosen the expansion pin allowing it to compress back together for removal.

2. A 10mm wrench was used to unscrew the two fasteners attaching the headlight to the core support.

3. Grasping the headlight and pulling it forward freed the assembly from the truck. The headlight, turn signal, and running light connectors were unplugged from the OE headlight and it was set aside.

4. On the Anzo light set, the headlights were preinstalled and only required being plugged into the stock harness. It was necessary to keep the original turn signal bulbs for use on the new lights.

5. The Ford’s side marker light bulb was discarded and the original harness mated to the Anzo pigtail shown. That is what powers the CCFL rings and LED side markers.

6. With the headlights turned on, it was apparent the changes made were for the better. The CCFL rings really added some attitude to the front of the F-150 and the projector beam made the headlight bulb much more pronounced.

7. Opening the tailgate revealed the screws holding the taillights to the truck’s bed. An 8mm socket made short work of them and we set them aside for reuse.

8. Tugging the taillight straight back released the assembly from the alignment pins. The brake and run bulbs were unplugged from the harness but the reverse bulb stayed in its socket. Anzo designed its taillights to reuse them.

9. Since the new taillights were LED, Anzo supplied a load equalizer for both the brake and run circuits. Each one was fit with double-sided foam tape and fit nicely into the cubby behind the taillight. The load equalizer allows the truck’s turn and brake relays to believe they still have the higher draw incandescent bulbs attached. Having the much lower draw LEDs attached does not allow the switching to work properly in some cases.

10. Again, the pigtails on the Anzo lights simply plugged into the original bulb sockets with no fuss involved. Both load equalizers for each taillight had their own plugs, and the reverse lamps twisted into position just as the OE designed.
