Product image checkpoints

  • The matching product page identifies this as a direct-fit, plug-and-play style installation. Use the product images for lamp-shape comparison and confirm the connector locks before reinstalling trim.
  • The visible product-function references indicate projector beam output, low beam, DRL, sequential turn signal, white/amber switchback behavior checks for this product. Confirm beam pattern and function behavior before final bumper or grille reassembly.
  • If the kit includes a decoder, resistor, control module, or relay, secure it away from heat, moving parts, water paths, and sharp metal edges. Do not add universal electrical parts unless support confirms they are needed.

Product notes

  • Use the product reference images on this page as the product-side visual check for connector layout, rear housing shape, and lighting functions.
  • Original vehicle trim, clip style, and fastener locations can vary by year, trim, and previous repairs. Remove panels slowly and verify each fastener before pulling.
  • Road-lighting compliance and off-road/show-use notes are product specific. Review the matching RIGNOX product page for the exact language for this item.

Before you begin

  • Confirm the exact product: Compare the RIGNOX headlights to the product reference images, including rear housing, plug layout, lens style, and included modules.
  • Work powered down: Park on level ground, switch the vehicle off, and disconnect the negative battery terminal when handling wiring.
  • Protect body panels: Use clean towels or masking tape near painted edges around the hood, grille, bumper edge, or fender liner area.
  • Do not force clips: If a lamp or trim panel does not move, stop and look for another fastener or locating pin.
  • No grease on connectors: Do not apply dielectric grease or weather-sealing grease to connectors or sockets.

Tools and supplies

  • Trim removal tool or panel clip tool
  • Metric socket and ratchet set; verify exact sizes on the vehicle before removal
  • Phillips and flat screwdrivers
  • Clean microfiber towels and masking tape
  • Electrical tape and zip ties for securing included harnesses only
  • A wall or flat vertical surface for beam-pattern checking

Remove the original headlights

  1. Remove the upper plastic push pin: Use a trim removal tool or push-pin removal tool to remove the plastic push pin along the upper edge of the factory headlight.

Install the RIGNOX headlights

  1. Select the correct wiring configuration: Identify the vehicle's factory headlight configuration and use the corresponding connection arrangement shown in the diagram. The diagram provides separate configurations for the 2015–2017 F-150 with factory halogen headlights, the 2017–2020 Raptor, and the 2015–2017 F-150 with factory LED headlights.

  2. Install the Rignox headlight assembly: Connect the applicable wiring configuration and position the Rignox headlight assembly in the factory mounting location. Align the assembly with the original locating and mounting points.

  3. Test all lighting functions before final assembly: Before fully tightening all mounting bolts and reinstalling the removed trim components, turn on the lights and verify that the required headlight functions operate correctly.

Electrical and function test

  1. Confirm low beam and high beam operate on both sides.
  2. Confirm DRL, parking light, amber turn signal, hazard, sequential, and switchback behavior where supported by this product.
  3. Confirm startup animation or RGB/app functions only after normal road-light functions pass.
  4. Check for dashboard warnings, flicker, or intermittent operation before reinstalling final trim.
  5. Verify beam aim after installation so the cutoff is safe and even.

Final check

  • All connectors are locked, dry, and routed without tension.
  • Included modules or extra harnesses are secured away from heat, water paths, moving parts, and sharp edges.
  • Both headlights sit flush with even body gaps and properly seated seals.
  • All supported lighting functions pass on both sides.
  • No warning lights, flicker, hyperflash, abnormal heat, moisture issue, or loose wiring remains after a short check drive.

Troubleshooting

  • One lamp does not turn on: Recheck the main connector lock, related fuse, and battery connection.
  • One function does not work: Compare the plug area to the product reference images and verify the connector is fully seated.
  • Warning message, flicker, or hyperflash: Confirm the correct product variant was installed and that any included decoder, resistor, or relay is connected and secured.
  • Moisture appears: Light condensation may clear as the lamp warms. Heavy or persistent moisture should be documented with photos before continued use.
  • Beam pattern is too high or uneven: Recheck lamp seating first, then adjust aim on a flat surface.

Need help?

If the original lamp, vehicle connector, or included harness does not match the product reference images, stop before modifying wiring. Contact RIGNOX support with your order information, vehicle year/model/trim, product variant, and clear photos of the connector area, rear housing, beam output, and installed front-end gap.
