How to Replace the Headlight Bulbs on a Ford Focus MK2

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Light bulb

Let's see how to replace a bulb in the headlight of a Ford Focus MK2: unfortunately, on this model, there is no space to change the bulb from the engine bay, so the headlight must be completely removed: unscrew the Torx T40 screw (with a large flat screwdriver) located at the top of the headlight, then press down the release tab located under the headlight. After unlocking it, pull the headlight towards you to remove it. At this point, you can open it from the back and change the bulbs: dipped beam H7; main beam H1. Reinsert the headlight, making it click into position, and then re-screw the T40 screw.
