The 2002 Ford F250 Super Duty features an extensive lighting system with 12 bulb positions. It uses halogen technology with H5054 LED low beams and PC74 high beams in a dual-bulb configuration. The F250 Super Duty has been available from 2000 to 2006, and the 2002 model falls in the mid-generation years.
Can You Put LED Bulbs in a 2002 Ford F250 Super Duty?
To upgrade the 2002 Ford F250 Super Duty headlights to LED, you will need a H5054 LED LED kit for the low beams and a PC74 LED kit for the high beams. Start with the low beams since they are used most often and have the biggest impact on nighttime visibility. For the fog lights, a 9145 LED LED bulb provides a clean white output that pairs well with LED headlights.
How to Replace Bulbs on a 2002 Ford F250 Super Duty
To remove the headlight bulb, disconnect the wiring harness, then twist the bulb counter-clockwise and pull it straight out of the housing. Older model years like the 2002 F250 Super Duty typically offer easy access to the headlight bulbs from behind the headlight assembly under the hood. Most owners can complete the swap in under 10 minutes per side. When installing the new bulb, avoid touching the glass with bare fingers. Skin oils create hot spots that shorten bulb life. Wear clean gloves or handle the bulb by its plastic base only. The fog lights are accessed from underneath the front bumper. You may need to remove a few plastic clips or screws from the fender liner to reach the 9145 LED fog light socket.

Standard halogen headlights on the 2002 Ford F250 Super Duty have an expected lifespan of 500 to 1,000 hours, which works out to roughly 2 to 3 years of normal use. Signs of a failing halogen bulb include noticeably dimmer output, a yellowish tint compared to the other headlight, or intermittent flickering. At 24 years old, the original bulbs on your F250 Super Duty are likely overdue for replacement. Even if they still illuminate, reduced brightness significantly impacts nighttime safety. When one headlight burns out, replace both sides at the same time. Bulbs from the same batch age at similar rates, and mismatched brightness is distracting to oncoming drivers.
What Bulbs Are Compatible with the 2002 Ford F250 Super Duty?
