How to Replace the Reverse Light Bulb on a Ford Fiesta

Model: Ford Fiesta MK 7, MK VII, Fiesta 7 - Years 2017-2023
Part: Tail light bulb

To replace the reverse light bulb on a Ford Fiesta, go to the boot and remove the side carpet. At the back of the headlamp, you will find a plastic clip that you need to unscrew. After unscrewing the clip, remove the two outer screws from the headlamp and take it out. Once the headlamp is removed, disconnect the connector, then detach the plastic housing where the rear bulbs are located from the headlamp. Locate the reverse light bulb and gently pull it out. In the video, the bulb simply had a poor connection and was reinserted, but if it needs replacing, take the new bulb, place it in the bulb holder, go to the back of the car, reconnect the connector, turn on the ignition, engage reverse gear, and check that the bulb lights up. Now, take the plastic housing for the bulbs, attach it to the back of the headlamp, reconnect the connector, and position the headlamp. Finally, screw in the two outer screws of the headlamp and the internal rear clip.
