When the dipped beam bulb on your Ford Fiesta blows, replace it as soon as possible for your safety and to avoid fines. Open the bonnet and stand in front of the headlamp that contains the bulb to be changed.

Using a 10 mm spanner, undo the three bolts securing the headlamp body to remove it from its housing. Rotate it upwards and remove the rubber cover over the dipped beam bulb.

Disconnect the electrical connector and release the spring that holds the bulb in place. Remove the old bulb and replace it with a new one, avoiding touching the glass with bare hands.

Secure it with the spring, reconnect the electrical connector, and refit the rubber cover. Place the headlamp body back in its housing and secure it with the three screws.
