Want to replace the front headlight bulbs on a Ford Focus and don’t know how? Let’s see how to proceed in the video guide. Open the bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard, and secure it. Unscrew the securing bolts of the front headlight and remove it (as shown in the video).

Once you find the inspection cap of the headlight (located at the rear of the headlight), remove it; you will find the bulbs with metal clips, pull the bulb holders out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulb using a screwdriver. Install the new bulb (always the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder into the headlight housing.

Finally, remount the headlight with the inspection cap. Test the correct operation of the lights.
