In this video, you can see how to replace the headlight bulbs on the second-generation Ford Escape. This is a very simple and quick operation; you do not need any special tools.

First, make sure the key is not in the ignition, then open the hood and remove the bulb holder from the headlight by turning it about 90 degrees counterclockwise. Pull out the bulb and insert the new one, being careful not to touch it directly with your hands without gloves.

Reposition it by following the reverse procedure and repeat the operation for the opposite headlight if necessary.
