How to Remove and Replace the Front Headlight Bulbs on Ford Focus

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Headlight

Here’s how to remove and replace the front headlight bulbs on a Ford Focus: open the bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard, and secure it. Unscrew the headlight securing pins with a screwdriver, and pull the headlight from its housing. Once you find the inspection cap at the back of the headlight, remove it; you will find the bulbs with metal clips, pull the bulb holders from the headlight and extract the damaged bulb with the help of a screwdriver. Fit the new bulb (ensuring it is the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder back into the headlight housing. Finally, reassemble the headlight with the securing pins and the inspection cap. Test the lights to ensure they are functioning correctly.
