How to Change the Front Headlight Bulbs on a Ford Fiesta

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Headlight bulb

To replace the front headlight bulbs on this car model, you need to remove the headlight itself as there is not enough manoeuvring space in the engine bay. First, secure the vehicle by turning off the ignition and pulling the handbrake. Open the bonnet and unscrew the fixing screws of the headlight, pulling it away from its housing just enough to disconnect the power connector. Once the headlight is placed on a work surface, taking care not to scratch it, remove the caps, disconnect the power connector of the bulb, and pull it out of its housing for replacement. Follow the reverse order for installation.

How to Lower the Rear Seats of a Citroen C4 Grand Picasso

In this video, we see how to lower the seats of the Citroen C4 Grand Picasso: the first thing to do is remove the parcel shelf and lower the load floor. Pull down the red straps that allow you to lower the two rear seats, which we cover with the expandable load floor. Now, go to the second row and take the black strap to push the first seat forward and fold it onto itself. At the back of this, there is a panel continuing from the load area. Do the same with the centre seat and then move to the other side to complete the operation with the last seat. The reverse operation is very simple to put all the seats back in place.
