Angry Changing a bulb on a ford focus cmax
Changing a bulb on a ford focus cmax 04

I changed the main headlamp bulb fairly easily the other week on the drivers side, but now the passenger (nearside) one has blown too. It seems that you have to dismantle the entire car to get at it Am I looking at it wrong? has anybody managed to change one of these b*ggers?

Re: Changing a bulb on a ford focus cmax
Well I tried to change a headlight bulb on my Ka - I've done the rear brake light bulbs before with no problems, but these...........well I had to give in eventually and do the only sensible thing - let the nice young lad at Halfords do it for me!
Good luck with yours!

Re: Changing a bulb on a ford focus cmax
on my mondeo I have to take off the front grille and dismount the entire headlight unit to replace the bulb. Now I know how to do it all, it only takes a couple of minutes, but the first time I was a little worried!!! I replaced all the lighting clusters on my car now though, front and rear. don't be scared of pulling it apart....

Halfords is the best bet, let them sweat over it for I think an extra couple of quid on the cost of the bulb!!!

Re: Changing a bulb on a ford focus cmax
done it now

you have to sort of press two plastic bars down at the bottom at the back and they clip back in when you want to reattatch it
