To replace the front headlamp bulb in the Ford Ka, first position the car on a ramp or flat surface. Begin by removing the front tyre corresponding to the headlamp you wish to replace the bulb for. Once done, to gain easier access to the rear of the headlamp and thus the bulb to be replaced, remove the splash guard located inside the wing in front of the removed tyre.

To do this, simply unscrew the small screws that hold it in place. Now, you can replace the bulb by first removing the water and moisture protection, and then releasing the spring that holds the bulb in position (just squeeze the two ends of the spring and move them to the right).

Replace the old bulb with the new one and reassemble everything.
