How to Replace the Headlamp on a Ford Fiesta MK IV

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 4, Be91, MK 4, MK IV - Years 1996-2002
Part: Headlight

Let's see how to replace the front headlamp on a Ford Fiesta MK4. First, remove the central grille (the one between the two headlamps), which is held in place by plastic clips, so it should come off easily. There are three screws holding the headlamp: one at the top/inside and two at the bottom (after removing the grille, they are clearly visible). Remove the screws and keep them aside for reassembly. Lift the headlamp and pull it towards you: behind it, there is a plastic connector that needs to be released and the electrical connector that needs to be disconnected. You can find the replacement headlamp on tarostrade, it under the EAN code 3800957036582 (right) at the price of £37.64 + £7.70 for shipping. Install the new headlamp by inserting the plastic pin into the guide hole, reconnect the connector, and screw the three screws back in. Adjust the height of the headlamp with the two adjustment knobs and reassemble the grille.
