How to change the brake light on a Ford Fiesta MK5

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 5, MK 5, MK V - Years 2002-2008
Part: Tail light

In this video we can see how to change the brake light bulb in the rear headlight of a Ford Fiesta MK5: first of all we need to open the rear tailgate, and we will see that on the side of the door frame, next to the headlight assembly, there are two clips that we need to remove in order to remove the headlight from its housing. It will be enough to apply some force to pull the entire headlight assembly towards us, which will still be connected through the electrical connector. We then identify the bulb to be replaced and pull it out from the back of the headlight assembly, remembering that the new bulb should never be touched with bare hands; we would shorten its lifespan. We put the headlight assembly back in place and screw it back in. If we need to change the third brake light, we see that there are two rubber grommets right below the opening: we remove them and with a screwdriver we release the spring that holds the third brake light, which will then easily come out of its housing. We can then easily change the bulb and then fit it back in place.
