Replacing the Rear Headlamp Bulb and Dismantling the Unit

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Tail light bulb

To replace the rear light bulb, you need to dismantle the entire light assembly. The screws are accessible on the side of the pillar, at the back, and on the front. After removing the screws with a screwdriver, take out the light unit by disconnecting the connector. Once the light unit is removed, you can access the bulb holders. Carefully remove the cover and replace the faulty bulb by pressing it slightly and turning it anti-clockwise until it releases. Refit the new bulb using one with the same specifications. Reattach the screws of the bulb holders and reposition the light assembly in the housing, connecting the relevant connector. Tighten the screws carefully.
