Today we will see the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the front headlight of the Ford Fiesta. First, we open the hood of the car and start unscrewing the fixing screws that we find on the top of the front headlight; then we disconnect the electrical connector of the bulbs that we find behind the headlight, in order to permanently remove the optical group, as shown in the video.

At this point, if necessary, we replace only the bulbs or the entire front headlight, making the electrical connection and fixing it correctly; adjust the height of the headlight if necessary.
