Parts for your 2015 Ford Falcon-Headlights

2015 Ford Falcon headlights

Headlights are absolutely fitted to the 2015 Ford Falcon (FG X). Technical sources including the Ford FG X Owner’s Manual (Lighting), the Ford Workshop Manual (section 417-01 Exterior Lighting), Australian Design Rules ADR 13/00 and ADR 46/00, and New Zealand’s NZTA Vehicle Inspection Requirements Manual all require and describe the Falcon’s headlamp system. So yes—headlights are relevant, standard, and critical on this model.

On the 2015 Falcon, the headlights do the heavy lifting for safe night driving and poor weather, helping the driver see the road and be seen by others. They’re designed to meet ADR/NZ WoF beam pattern and brightness rules, with projector-style low beams on most trims and integrated indicators/park lamps. Some XR variants may feature HID/Xenon low beams and LED daytime running lamps.

As part of regular servicing, a quick headlight check pays off. Look for any blown bulbs, hazy lenses, moisture inside the housings, or mis-aim that could dazzle oncoming traffic or cut short the driver’s view. If the lenses are starting to yellow, they can often be restored with a headlight polishing kit, but cracked or badly crazed units are best replaced to maintain clarity and weather sealing.

• Replace bulbs in pairs to keep brightness and colour even. Handle halogen globes by the base—fingerprints on the glass can shorten their life. Match the correct wattage and type listed in the owner’s manual or a trusted bulb catalogue.
• Bulb access is from the engine bay via rear dust caps on the lamp assemblies. For HID-equipped XR models, be mindful of high voltage—have a qualified tech handle ballast or igniter faults.
• If a light’s out, check the relevant fuses and the body control module’s circuits before blaming the lamp. Also confirm charging voltage, over- or under-voltage can chew through globes.
• Headlight aim matters. On level ground facing a flat wall, use the adjuster screws to set a clean cutoff that’s slightly down and to the left (RHD markets). If unsure, ask a workshop to aim them to ADR/NZ specs.
• Considering an upgrade? Stick with ADR-compliant options. Over-wattage halogens or non-compliant LED retrofits can cause glare, heat damage, or a failed WoF.

Keeping the Falcon’s headlights clean, correctly aimed, and fitted with the right, fresh bulbs makes night drives easier on the eyes and keeps the car legal on Aussie and Kiwi roads.

Popular questions about 2015 Ford Falcon headlights

What bulb type does a 2015 Ford Falcon use?
Most FG X Falcons run halogen projector low beams with separate high beams. Exact bulb types vary by trim, and XR models may have factory HID/Xenon low beams. The safest bet is to check the owner’s manual or a bulb guide using the VIN to confirm the correct fitment and wattage.

How often should the headlights be replaced?
There’s no fixed interval, but many halogen bulbs dim noticeably after 2–3 years of real-world use. Replace at the first sign of reduced output, colour shift, or a blown globe—and do both sides together to keep the beam balanced. If failures are frequent, have charging voltage and earth points checked.

How can the headlight aim be adjusted on a 2015 Falcon?
Use the adjuster screws on the lamp units with the car on level ground about 7.5 metres from a flat wall. Set the cutoff slightly below head height and bias to the left for RHD markets. For precision or if the car carries heavy loads often, a workshop can aim them to ADR/NZTA specs.
