DIY: 98-00 Ford Ranger Parking Light & Headlight Removal

Video tutorial on how to remove the headlights and parking lights on a Ford Ranger. You will be required to remove the parking/signal lights before removing the headlight and this tutorial does cover that. In this particular tutorial I am working on a 1998 Ford Ranger, but a similar procedure applies to other models as well.
