For those looking for a solution to changing the passenger side headlight bulb. Here is what you have to do, no tools...works with big hands too! Step #1, gently take the coolant overflow tank off it's front clip, by pulling it upward and off the small metal post, this will give you about 2 more inches of room to get your hand into the headlight assembly. Step #2, remove the rubber cover off the back of the light. Step #3, unclip the power to the bulb and remove it. Step#4. Put a new bulb into the assembly and lock it into position. The plug and socket will nicely line up. Step#5 Just guide the plug into the socket and squeeze them together until you hear that nice click. Step #6, put the rubber cover back on and put the coolant overflow tank back onto its clip.
This is the exact proceedure for the other side. The coolant tank is in the way and the electrical lead is too short. The only other thing I can add is to wear gloves, especially when install the new bulb. This prevents touching the bulb glass with your fingers.
Do you have your owners manual? It would show you in there, but the better question is why you're looking at the fuse? Is the light still not working after replacing the bulb?
Sounds like you need to do some testing of the wire harness to see what the issue is. If the fuse was blown that means there's a problem in the wiring that caused the fuse to blow. I would start by checking the ground.
Anybody can replace the driver's side headlight. Not too hard to figure out. The passenger side is another story. Why is it that everybody who makes one of these videos shows how to replace the driver's side when they should show the passenger side?
I'll let you know. But why do they do that? I've changed the bulbs and the battery on all my cars for over 50 years. It just gets worse and worse every year. I remember an old Chevy from around 63. I think it was a Biscayne. Changed the starter from under the hood on the street.@@JrZCarZ
@@franks2910 that's a very good question. They pack so much unnecessary junk in the engine bays now it's ridiculous. I had to replace a heater core line in this Escape a couple weeks ago and I had to take all of the cowl off to get to it. My 69 Mercury Monterey I can stand in the engine bay, even with a 390 in it. 😁
Thanks for watching. Of course I replaced both. The passenger one is the same as the driver's side, you just need to use your brain to get it in. You have to move the coolant reservoir.

Thanks very much. You are the best video on this subject of the bunch that are out there.
Thanks for watching and the kind words!
Thank you so much. It worked out for me!!
Glad it helped you out!
i dont have that type of light tab mine has side tabs
Low beam fuse location?
Do you have your owners manual? It would show you in there, but the better question is why you're looking at the fuse? Is the light still not working after replacing the bulb?
@@JrZCarZ I checked the manual, but I still can't seem to find it. And yes, that's the exact problem. Changed the bulb, but alas, still no light
Do you have a video changing the wire pigtail?
I changed the right bulb and the fuse and the right headlight still didn’t work. Help!

You figure out what the problem was having same issue tia
@@JrZCarZ yeah. I need to get a multimeter which honestly i don’t own which is surprising for as much tinkering around I do.
Thank you
Thanks for watching

Move the coolant overflow tank and you have all the room to replace the bulb

Passenger side is right side drivers is left side.
The right side is NOT simple, too crowded in there.
It is tight but is not all that terrible.
@@JrZCarZ Not if you have big palming-a-basketball-is-no-problem hands. Moving the coolant tank aside is critical.
@@derelict8715 coolant tank is on the passenger side under the cowl😉 I'm a big dude too and have the chonky palm a basketball hands too lol.
Why don’t you show how to change other side which is much harder for low beam
It's not hard at all. Move the coolant reservoir and you have all the room in the world.
Looks like it was really simple. Just keep those fingers off the bulb
The harness doesn't come out on the passenger side and you have no room to see
Yes it does you just have to finagle it a bit if the bulb is getting caught. But I just followed this to change my passenger side low beam.
No the wire won't give you enough room to work on the passenger side!!!!
Sure it does, you just need to use caution. It's a tight squeeze but it works.
What a waste of time. I guess you didn’t replace the passenger.

@@JrZCarZthat’s why you didn’t show cause it’s not easy
