Replacing the reverse light bulb on your Ford Fiesta is undoubtedly one of the simplest tasks you can do independently. Before proceeding, for safety reasons, it is advisable to wear rubber gloves and disconnect the battery.

First, go to the rear of the car and fully lift the bonnet. Next, using a cross-head screwdriver, unscrew the two screws holding the headlamp and pull it out. At this point, remove the old bulb and replace it with a new one. Finally, reassemble the headlamp and screw the screws back in.
