Parts for your 2014 Ford Falcon-Headlights

2014 Ford Falcon headlights: what they do and how to look after them

Headlights are absolutely fitted to the 2014 Ford Falcon and are required for road use. That’s backed by the Ford FG MkII/FG X Owner’s Manual, Australia’s ADR 13/00 and ADR 46/00 lighting standards, and New Zealand’s Vehicle Inspection Requirements Manual (VIRM) for WoF checks—all of which mandate compliant, working headlamps. So yes, they’re relevant, standard gear on every 2014 Falcon variant.

On this Falcon, the headlights are there for two big jobs: letting the driver see clearly at night and in bad weather, and making sure the car is seen by others. Low beam handles close-range, dipped illumination without dazzling oncoming traffic, while high beam stretches visibility down country roads. Many 2014 models use halogen bulbs with a projector for low beam and a reflector for high beam, giving a tidy, controlled spread of light.

As part of regular servicing, it’s smart to give the headlights a once-over. Most 2014 Falcons typically run H11 for low beam and HB3 (9005) for high beam, with wedge bulbs for parkers—though trims vary, so cross-check with the owner’s manual or VIN lookup. When replacing, swap bulbs in pairs to keep colour and brightness matched. Avoid touching the glass with bare hands, and ensure the rubber dust caps are properly seated to keep moisture out. After any bulb or housing change, check the aim—poor alignment can fail an inspection and reduce night-time safety.
