Ford Anglia 105E Lights

External Lighting

The bulbs in the lighting system are so wired that the burning out or removal of any one bulb will not affect the others. The headlamp bulbs will only fit in one position, due to the recess in the bulb flange corresponding to a raised portion in the bulb holder. The side and front direction indicator bulbs, rear, stop and direction indicator bulbs are located in bayonet holders that are integral with the lamp housings. They will only fit one way round since the bulb bodies have offset pins.

Remove the headlamp mask

This is held in position by three screws, two either side of the “eyebrow” and one at the base of the mask.

Headlamp Bulbs

First remove the headlamp mask. Press lightly in on the headlamp and turn the lens and reflector slightly anti-clockwise until the three plain headed adjusting screws pass into the larger portion of the keyhole attachment holes. Pulling it forward will expose the bulb holder at the rear of the reflector. The bulb may then be removed by twisting the headlight bulb socket slightly anti-clockwise. Once the bulb has been replaced, refit the headlamp assembly and headlamp mask.

Sealed Beam Headlamp

First remove the headlamp mask. Unscrew the screws retaining the chrome ring around the sealed beam unit (being careful not to alter the position of the adjusting screws). These units have the main and “dip” filaments sealed in a glass unit, which includes the lens and reflector. Pull the socket from the rear of the unit. Only the complete unit is replaceable. (On later models the socket also incorporates the sidelight bulb). Once the unit has been replaced, refit the chrome ring and headlamp mask.

Saloon, Estate and Van Side and Front Direction Indicator Bulbs

On earlier models a dual filament bulb is fitted at the front, so that the direction indicator and sidelight are in the same unit. (On later models the sidelight became a separate unit, which was replaced even later with a sidelight that was incorporated in the headlamp socket of the sealed beam unit.) These bulbs can be renewed by first removing the three screws securing the lens to the body of the light. Next remove the leg from the base of the diffuser. Hinge up the diffuser and remove. Now the bulb itself can be removed and replaced and the diffuser and lens replaced.

Saloon, Estate and Van Separate Front Sidelight Bulbs

The side light bulb can be renewed after removing the clear lens by unscrewing the two cross-headed screws. Now the bulb can be removed and replaced and the lens refitted.

Saloon Rear Direction Indicator Bulb

The direction indicator bulb may be renewed after removing the amber lens by unscrewing the two cross-headed screws. Now the bulb can be removed and replaced and the lens refitted.

Saloon Rear and Stop light Bulb

The rear and stop light bulb can be renewed after removing the red lens by unscrewing the two cross-headed screws. Now the bulb can be removed and replaced and the lenses refitted.

Estate Rear, Stop and Rear Direction Indicator Bulbs

The rear / stop light and indicator bulbs can be replaced by unscrewing the screw in the centre chromed piece and pilling it out. Unscrew the screws retaining the amber lens and /or red lens and pull them off. Now the bulb(s) can be removed and replaced and the lenses refitted.

Van Rear, Stop and Rear Direction Indicator Bulbs

The direction indicator bulb may be renewed after removing the amber lens by unscrewing the two cross-headed screws. Now the bulb can be removed and replaced and the lens refitted.The rear and stop light bulb can be renewed after removing the direction indicator lens and then the third screw holding the lower lens to the body. The bulb can now be removed and replaced and the lenses refitted.

A 5-amp fuse is incorporated in the electrical system to protect the flasher unit operating the direction indicators. The fuse is mounted in a plastic bayonet type holder, inserted in the unit feed wire and positioned behind the instrument panel. Should the flasher indicators fail to operate, first check this fuse, or have your Auto Electrician locate the fault for you.Saloon / Estate Rear Number Plate Light
The bulb is located under a glass cover under the rear number plate. To replace a bulb, remove the two screws retaining the cover and remove the cover. The bulb can now be removed and replaced and the cover refitted to the lamp base.

Van Rear Number Plate Light

The bulb may be renewed after unscrewing the two cross-headed screws securing the lamp bracket to the bodywork and then the screws holding the lens to the bracket. The bulb can now be removed and replaced and the lens and bracket refitted.

When refitting a lens, ensure that the components are satisfactorily sealed by the gasket so preventing the ingress of dirt, water etc. (Some lenses and gaskets are available from the Club Spares if you need to replace a damaged lens or gasket)

Internal Lighting

Panel Lamp and Warning Light Bulbs

These bulbs are located behind the main Instrument Panel. These are removed from behind the panel. It is necessary to withdraw the appropriate holder by twisting and pulling on the holder body (not the wire) taking care not to impose any strain on the wire or connections.
