Let’s see how to change the dipped headlight bulb of a Ford Focus MK3: remove the two screws at opposite ends of the headlight unit. These screws hold the entire headlight in place, which can be removed with minimal pressure.

Identify the bulb to be changed: there are rubber caps at the back; remove the corresponding one to access the light compartment. Remember that the new bulb must never be touched with bare hands, as this will significantly shorten its lifespan.

Remove the old bulb, fit the new one, replace the rubber cap, reassemble the headlight unit, and secure it with the two screws. The job is complete.
