Help with Headlight bulbs and instrument cluster 2002 ranger

I am new here and would like to know if someone can tell me the best bulbs to purchase for headlights on an 02 ranger. I just purchased the truck today and the headlights are pretty dim. I would like to put some better lights in there.

Also, I have no clue how to get to the lights on the instrument cluster but need to get them fixed none of them work and it drives me crazy. Please any links to how to pull the instrument cluster out to replace these bulbs is greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks,

I just want to update everyone that I use the video above on replacing the lights in the instrument cluster and it is super easy. Thanks for the help I got that step taken care of.

The headlights I am going to hold off on until I can either get the lenses cleared up or buy the entire new headsets...

I've seen both Sylvania Silverstar Ultra 9007s, as well as Nighthawk Platinum 9007s from General Electric, the latter of which I have installed on my Ranger.

I'm personally very happy with my Nighthawks, and would recommend them to anyone. Last I checked, you can get 'em on amazon for around 20 dollars, although I'm sure the silverstar ultras would quench the same thirst just fine.

Just, stay away from PnP LED headlight bulbs. They suck big time. Like no, seriously, they're god-awful. They look cool, though, I guess.

Check rockauto and ebay for your headlight lenses. You can find nice aftermarket ones from the latter of the two. Both have good prices.
