In this video, you will see how to replace the rear bulbs of the Ford Focus 3. To access the rear lights, open the boot and reach the lights by removing the entire headlight assembly. To do this, lift the part covered by the carpet and manually unscrew the lower butterfly support of the headlight.

This way, you can slide your fingers into the upper access hole and reach the second butterfly support of the headlight. At this point, unscrew it and gently pull the headlight from the outside with your hand.

Before replacing the bulbs, remove the power connector. You can now replace the bulbs you need.

Once finished, follow the same procedure in reverse to reposition the headlight.
