2000 Front End Swap

[Ranger2000x]

New here but I have a 2000 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 Automatic 5 speed OHV V6 4x4. I would like to swap the headlights with blinker, grille, bumper and fog lights to 2001 Ranger. But mine has 5 bulbs. 1: High/Low beam(9007) 2: are 3157 x2 as blinker and 3: for side marker 194. For the 3157 do I tied both together and make one bulb socket. Thank you.

Not sure I understand the question

Ford uses a Brown wire for 12volts to all the Parking lights
In the front there can be a dual filament bulb that has a brown wire for Park filament and another color for Turn filament(turn filament is brighter than Park)
The side markers just have the one brown wire
All have a Ground wire as well, usually solid black color

Brown wire is a common wire on both sides, same wire shared, even in the rear
If you have keyless entry the brown wire comes from a Park Light Relay, so the Keyless entry module can Flash the Park Lights when locking or unlocking


The high beams share a common wire and fuse, light green/black wire, so that wire will be on both sides
Low beams each have a separate wire and fuse, specific to that side

High or low beams both go thru the Multi-function switch(turn signal stalk) before going out to the headlight bulbs

High beams are used for DRL(daylight running lights) so if you have that option then they will be on when driving but at about 70% of brightness, DRL module "pulses" the voltage to lower it and the brightness, called PWM
DRL does not go thru multi-function switch

This is the same for 2000 and 2001 as far as my diagrams show

This my turn signal no DRL (RonD) I bought trucked used last year and I want the 2001 ranger front style with these Headlight. Thanks.

Right
But I don't understand your question, the wires are the wires
Park light
turn, for that side
low beam, for that side
high beam

I know the wiring part. I'm just want know what I need when I want swap parts. From this style Grille 2000 to this style Grille 2001 sorry for confusion. Just that 2000 style has 4 bulbs and 2001 style has 3 bulbs.

Thanks RonD. I see 99offroadrngr says do this (spoiler) but would it be better if re-wire both together or still has hyper flash.
Its really easy to swap over (took me 30-40 min), no cutting or welding. you'll reuse your bolts from the header panel so you're good there. once you get the old stuff off, you'll need to pull 1 of the 2 turn signal bulbs (3157 bulb) on each side because the 01+ lights only require 1 of them per side plus the little "dummy" light which doesnt blink in the far corner. Tape the sockets you pulled the bulbs from, don't tape over the bulb because the tape will burn. once you do that you'll have "hyperflash" because its like if one of your bulbs were dead since its not connected. Pick up an "EP27" flasher/relay at autozone/advance auto/online and replace your OEM relay under the dash and it will get rid of the hyperflash.
