Let's look at the procedure for changing the headlight bulbs on a Ford Fiesta MK6: open the bonnet and locate the bulb holders behind each headlight unit. For the Fiesta MK6, access is often limited, so work carefully.

For the driver's side, remove the air intake hose (if necessary) to gain more space. On the passenger side, move the windscreen washer fluid reservoir.

Grasp the electrical connector, rotate it counterclockwise by about 45 degrees, and gently pull it out towards you. Once the bulb holder is removed, detach the bulb from its socket. Never touch the glass of the new bulb with your fingers, as skin oils reduce its lifespan and can cause breakage.

Reposition any removed components (air intake hose, windscreen washer fluid reservoir). Close the bonnet and test the headlights again.
