Hey guys, it's Nick from F150LEDs.com. Today we're here in our '04 to '08 Ford F-150 King Ranch and we're going to be showing you how to swap out your gear indicator light for a high-powered LED light from F150LEDs.com. This light is going to be great if your light has gone out or if you're just looking for a replacement that's going to make this gear selector indicators much easier to read at night. The installation is extremely simple, it's almost toolless. All you need is a simple flat head screwdriver and we're going to show you how it's done right now.
The first thing that we need to do is remove this top console cover here. So open your console lid and then just take a flat head screwdriver and you can just kind of pry from this latch opening right here in the center. Just pry up and this top console will just pop directly off. Just work it out over your gear shift knob. Now the next thing that we want to do is just pop this silver plastic cover off. You don't have to do this step, it just makes it a little easier to reach the bulb and there's just these two little pry tabs, one here on this side that you can see on the camera, and then one on the opposite side. So you can just kind of pry the tab open and it'll allow this cover to come loose and that's going to expose our bulb, which is right here on the other side.
So let's go ahead and show you how to pull the bulb out and replace it with our new one. Okay, so we'll be able to access our bulb here on the left side of our gear shift knob. Just grab the base of this connector and turn it counterclockwise and that'll release the bulb connector from this assembly. Now we've already got our LED light installed, but you would have your halogen bulb here and you would be able to pull it directly out and then reinstall our LED light. Make sure it's seated all the way down.
Now before we put it back in, we want to make sure that it's lining up with our headlights. So we're good to go there. Now if you cut your headlights on and this light didn't let up, you'd want to take the bulb out and flip it 180 degrees so that the polarity would be correct. All right, but we're good to go. So you can go ahead and re-insert your connector here into the assembly and lock it in place with a clockwise turn and then we'll be able to put our cover back on and be good to go.
So that's all there is to getting an LED installed here for your gear indicator light. It really does make a difference at night. It makes the gear panel much easier to read, plus it looks a lot better as well. So it's a quick and easy upgrade to improve your F-150 experience.
