Name of the clips the headlights mount onto?
On the 04-08 F-150's the headlights 3 Bolts mount into those clips.. we'll if they're not fastened the can fall off.. long story short.
What's the technical name for these clips? I have been googling to no avail..
I might just run by the dealership and get them from them.. probably like $100 a clip.. who knows..

They are called 'HN1' (2 per headlight) and 'HN2' (one per headlight), according to FordParts.com
I'm assumin' that means Headlight Nut 1 and 2
Refer to the diagram here: http://www.fordparts.com/Commerce/Pa...rd&model=F-150
good luck

The 2 that face forward are extruded u nuts.
- M6 x 1.00
The one that faces up is a speed nut
- M6 x 1.00
You can find them at Advance Auto, Home Depot, Lowes, Industrial Aces, etc.
A hint on making bulbs easier to change, get a speed nut or extruded u nut in M4 or M5 with a washer and replace the plastic screw pin on the rubber. Makes taking it out dirt easy with the rubber flap unscrewed ( and no playing around with the plastic pin ).
