How to Remove the Reversing Bulb from a Ford Focus

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Light bulb

Before you can start, open the rear hatch of the boot on your Ford Focus. Begin by unscrewing and removing the screws that secure the rear light to the car. This will free the light, allowing you to extract it from its housing and access the back of the reversing bulb. Next, disconnect the relevant connector. At this point, rotate the bulb holder anti-clockwise to reach the blown bulb, which you will need to extract. Once you have completed this procedure, you will have successfully finished the disassembly.
