Replacement of Front Headlamp Bulb

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Headlight bulb

To replace the front headlamp bulb, you need to remove the headlamp itself as there is not enough space to manoeuvre. Once you have removed the upper fixing pin, unclip the lower tabs and pull the headlamp forward. At this point, remove the plastic protective cap, disconnect the bulb's power connector, and unclip the retaining spring. Extract the old bulb and insert the new one (there is only one mounting position), secure it in place by reattaching the spring, reconnect the power connector, and reposition the cap. Finally, refit the headlamp.
