Loose Headlight Help

[Francisco1022]

My brother recently had a fender bender involving my 02 XLT. After the accident I just had to change the front bumper, but I noticed that the passenger side headlight was hanging kind of loose. I opened the hood and the mount where the headlight goes mounted to is cracked and broken in some areas. I checked and its a complete piece that expands the whole front of the truck, but it happens to be that the passenger side (where the hit in the accident was)is broken, therefore a hanging headlight. It bothers at night, when you have the lights on and on that side the light is focused on the floor! So I want to know what's that part called, or maybe any suggestions on where to order online if possible. Thanks.

[Teejay4490]

Yep thatd be the one

 

[Francisco1022]

Yea. already ordered it. I didn't noticed that you could've check the vehicle specs in the bottom. Not much of a ebay user. Thanks again.

 

[Teejay4490]

Yeah I checked them out too, and no problem!

 

[Francisco1022]

Done, son...

Ordered and received the part. Wasn't hard at all to mount back. The previous HEADER PANEL was totally destroyed. After removing the headlights and front bumper, I just followed the pattern of bolts and screws. I just have to paint the black part that shows around the grille. Sorry that I didn't do a follow-up on How-to. Here in NY its getting cold, and plus I was doing it all on my own. (LONER)

Here are a few images tho.

Special thanks to "Teejay4490" for the help.

That came out really nice. I have to do the same thing to mine. My header panel was smashed when I bought it in Feb 2010. Good to know that it's an easy fix.

Is this the one you ended up getting?: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1L2Z8190AA-...04-2003-2002-Car-/140651919972#ht_2811wt_1139

Here is what mine looks like:

Francisco1022, how is the header panel holding up? Can you please post the name of the seller you bought it from?

Thanks, Rondo
