How to Remove and Replace Bulbs on Ford Focus

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Headlight bulb

Learn how to remove and replace the bulbs on a Ford Focus: open the bonnet by inserting the key into the lock located in the front grille of the bumper, lift the bonnet and secure it. Once you locate the inspection cap of the headlamp (located at the rear of the headlamp), remove it. You will find the bulbs with metal clips; pull the bulb holder out of the headlamp and extract the damaged bulb using a screwdriver. Install the new bulb (ensure it is the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder back into the headlamp housing. Finally, close the headlamps with the caps. Test the lights to ensure they are functioning correctly.
