Headlight bulb

[saintjohnny]

One of my Fiesta's dipped headlights has gone. Both are fine on full beam, but I suspect the dipped bulb has gone. Do I need to go to a pro for this, or can I buy a bulb and replace it easily myself? Stockists and method of replacing the bulb needed please! Thanks.

Easley done yourself. Ask a neighbour to show you. Buy the bulb before starting. Dont forget DO NOT TOUCH THE THE GLASS...

First take off the grill cover the radiator by unclipping the clips at each side and lifting it upwards. Unscrew the two screws at the front of the head lamp and then the third screw on top. Lift out the head lamp carefully. Unplug the back case of the head lamp with the clip below. Unclip the headlight by clipping together the metal clips and take out the headlamp, making sure you do not touch the light. Replace the headlamp also making sure you do not touch the light with your skin. In case you do, wipe thoroughly with a soft tissue. Close and replace the appliances in the same way.

you don't need to take the headlight out - just pull back the rubber cover and release the clip holding the bulb - replace the bulb - redo the clip and push the rubber back on

As homer has said, usually headlight bulbs are accessable from inside the engine compartment, no need to remove the headlight itself to swap a bulb. Saintjohnny this job should take you about 15 minutes max, not difficult at all!
