Today we will explain an alternative method for unscrewing the lock nut of the front headlight of the Ford Focus MK2 model. To perform the operation, we need to use a €2 coin.

Open the front hood and unscrew the nut using the €2 coin by positioning it vertically and turning the nut counterclockwise. After removing the nut, it will be possible to detach the headlight from its housing, taking care not to damage the connector during removal.

The same coin can be used to screw the lock nut back on. This is an alternative method that allows us to replace the front headlight bulb or the headlight itself in the absence of a T25 wrench.
