How to Replace the Headlight Bulbs of a Ford Focus

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Headlight bulb

Let’s see how to replace the bulbs inside the front headlight of a Ford Focus. Lift the front bonnet by pulling the lever located at the bottom right of the dashboard and secure it with the prop rod. Locate the headlight inspection cap and detach it (if it is difficult, you can remove the headlight by unscrewing the screws). Pull the bulb holders out of the headlight and extract the damaged bulbs with the help of a screwdriver. Fit the new bulbs (always of the correct type and size) and insert the bulb holder back into the headlight housing. Test the operation of the bulbs.
