How to Replace the Bulb in the External Mirror of a Ford Focus

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

Start by positioning the mirror all the way down to open a gap at the top of the mirror on your Ford Focus. Then, pull the mirror out from that gap, disengaging it. This will give you access to the blown bulb. At this point, extract the bulb from its housing, disconnect the corresponding connector, and you will have completed the disassembly. To install the new bulb and close everything up, simply reverse these instructions, and you will have successfully completed the task.
