Number Plate Bulb Replacement

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: License plate light

Having a faulty number plate bulb could result in a fine if stopped at a checkpoint. This guide explains the steps to replace it. The number plate bulb is easily identifiable as it is shaped like a torpedo, a small cylinder with rounded ends. Opening the boot, you will notice a lens; simply lever it open with a screwdriver to access the bulb that needs replacing. Once the blown bulb is removed, insert the new one, then reposition the lens over the bulb.
