My passenger side headlamp was broken and the bad thing is its retainer (headlamp bulb retainer 13N019) was melted. I have to buy a new retainer as well as a bulb, but it is hard to find this retainer. I called a ford dealer but no response yet. Does anyone have some suggestions to me?

Another problem is I found there is no enough space to install the easy broken bulb. Do I need to uninstall the whole headlamp first?

Easy to remove the headlight as a unit. Three 10 mm bolts and a tall one in the back that is a pinch bolt. This one only needs loosening. Headlight removal

If the ford stealer cannot get you the part (unlikely) then try www.fordpartsnetwork.com

It really makes sence. Thanks a lot SHOZ123!

SOS!!!

I succesfully install the passenger side head lamp bulb and its retainer. But I found the driver side head lamp is not bringt at low beam, however, this driver side headlamp does bringt good at high beam.

What should I do?

Did you replace just one headlight, or both lights? If you only did one, there might lie your problem

I only changed passenger side bulb without doing anying to the driver side headlamp.

What's the problem lies?

Well, since you only changed the passenger side, my first guess would be that since the driver's side is original (im guessing on this), it's old and should be changed with the passenger side to have the same brightness. As you should know, bulbs get dimmer as time goes on until they finally need to be replaced. Try changing the driver's side with the same bulb type you did as the passenger side.

Change the driver side bulb is the first step I could do. Thanks Firespirit

I removed the driver side headlamp bulb this morning and found that one of the two filaments is broken. So I bought a new one and it works fine now

Glad to hear
