To replace the headlight bulb on a Ford Focus, you must remove the headlight, but fortunately, this does not require removing other elements such as the front bumper. Once you have opened the bonnet, simply unscrew the headlight fastening pins to pull it forward and disconnect the corresponding power connector.

At this point, remove the rubber cap applied behind the headlight, disconnect the connector from the bulb (H11), and twist it to release it along with the bulb holder; then move on to the other bulb (H1) and replace them with new bulbs.
