Replacing Rear Light Bulb

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

The necessary tools are: a set of screwdrivers and a ratchet with various bits. To replace the rear light bulbs, you need to disassemble the entire light assembly. The screws are accessible on the side of the boot. After removing the plastic caps by leveraging with a tool in the designated slot, remove the cover. Unscrew the retaining nuts of the light using the ratchet, which are located in the bodywork holes, and remove the light by disconnecting the connectors. Once the bulb holder is removed, carefully replace the faulty bulb by pressing it slightly and turning it counterclockwise until it releases. Reinsert the new bulb using one with the same specifications. Reposition the light assembly in the housing, connecting the respective connector. Carefully tighten the retaining screw and close the plastic cap.
