How to Remove the Front Headlight on a Ford Focus III

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Headlight

Removing the front headlight is extremely straightforward since there are no underbody elements (such as the bumper) obstructing it, and you only need to remove the headlight itself. Open the bonnet and secure it with the support rod. Next, locate the fixing screws for the headlight, one positioned at the inner edge near the trim and the other at the outer edge near the wing. Unscrew the two screws and lift the headlight from its housing just enough to disconnect the power connector and complete the removal.
