How to Remove the Front Headlight on a Ford Focus

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

To remove the front headlight on a Ford Focus, open the bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard and secure it. Unscrew the securing pins of the headlight using a screwdriver or socket wrench, and pull the headlight from its housing. Once you locate the inspection cap on the back of the headlight, remove it to access the bulbs with metal clips. Pull the bulb holder out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulb using a screwdriver. Install the new bulbs (ensuring they are the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder back into the headlight housing. Finally, reattach the headlight with the securing pins and inspection cap.
