How to Replace the Rear Light Bulbs on a Ford Focus SW

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Tail light bulb

Are the lights on the rear light of your Ford Focus SW not working anymore? Let's see in this video how to replace the bulbs. Open the boot lid, and using a screwdriver, remove the plastic panel on the side of the trim. Once the cover plastic is unscrewed, proceed to unscrew (with a socket or screwdriver) the securing nuts of the rear light and the plastic clips in the inspection area next to it. Once the light is free from any constraints, you can detach it from the bodywork. Replace the damaged bulbs. Finally, refit the light and proceed in reverse order with the assembly of the other parts.
