I want to find the engineer who decided that you need to take out the entire headlight assembly to replace a light bulb, and kick them square in the nuts.
I agree with the 2 replies already ....... but it was not long ago , think it was a Ford Focus , u had to jack it up remove the wheel , remove the plastic wheel arch liner to get to the rear of the headlight , think Ford gave 2 hours @ £ mega to change a bulb ..... nuts !!
Wait until you have to change the front turn signal bulbs, a bigger cunt of a job there is not, pretty much the Krauts getting back at us (2010 WS series cars were built in Germany).
Thanks so much for this easy to understand commentary and watching it step by step as I’m a female who desperately needed to change my headlight without paying someone else for something I was able to do thanks to you. Made me feel very accomplished. 👍
This made it seem far less daunting. Took me 10 mins if that! Thank you so much; had been meaning to put on stronger headlight bulbs those halogen ones make me feel blind 😅
Trued to do this yesterday after work before it rained and didn't get anywhere, the back didn't look like it came off and I only saw the bottom cover, no chance I could do it that way with the tools I had, I'll try this after work today, thank you
Very informative. I managed to do this without help except for the information on this video. Previously I'd have got one of my sons to do it! Thanks. It works!
Hi. How does the plastic fastener exactly work? I recently bought this kind of fiesta, and i had to replace the lowbeams just now. The screws were no issue, but i can't figure out how to remove the plastic fastener/clip at the inboard end and i don't want to break it. The manual only mentions screws, and it also does not mention you need to lower the bumper. I did manage to change the bulbs though, if you remove the screws you can force the aft end upwards just enough to have room to change the bulb
I’m scared to do this lol. Btw I need to remove my drivers seat to clip the bar that u pull to move the seat back and forth back on the pins. How easy is this task lol
In my frustration I've been using two flatheads together and applying quite a strong force as am a big guy but no budge, some minor shaving of the bolt and I'm scared of ruining it completely. I feel like sawing through the plastic bracket it's attached to I'm so annoyed
I'm having some head scratching over what bulb I get. My model is 58 plate fiesta. Some say it's a h4 bulb for dipped headlight. Others say it's a h7 I need. Anyone know which one I need?
@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage thanks for replying. It's just that the main beam bulb looks different than my dipped headlight bulb. That one showing looks like my main beam bulb. My dipped headlight has gone.
When I replaced my bulbs using this method I found that they had become crazy dipped down - literally pointing around a meter away from the front. Both sides too. Has this happened to anyone else?

My thoughts exactly
100% this... Should be such a simple task

modern cars , so you always pay for any form of maintenance, scam

Saved me £8 having Halfords fix it for me!
Good video 👍🏻

Really helpful video mate I’m a complete novice when it comes to this type of stuff but you made it really easy
That was excellent thanks, it's taken me ages in the past!
One of the best bulb change videos out there. Thanks.
Thank you
Definitely makes my top 10
10/10 for the tutorial there much appreciated, dead easy to do when someone shows you how!
Probably the best tutorial on TH-cam, on any subject.
Cheers 👍
Thank you
Thanks for showing AND explaining about the locating clip beneath the headlamp unit. Ford manual does not mention this!
This is the best video so far.
Just some info for people with 15 plate fiestas, there are 3 small prongs you just need to manipulate to enable the bulb to be removed.
Didnt take any lessons, watched this video three times and passed! Thank you so much!
First time tried it and boom done (5 minutes each side) so BIG thumbs up to you my friend and I will SUB to u
Nice and simple explanation saved a lot of tome and potential damage many thanks
Thanks alot, you saved my 20$
No problem 👍

Appreciate you putting this up.

Thanks for the comment :)
Thanks for the video.helped me out.
I broke the white clip @ 1:18. Is there a part number or any way I can get a replacement part?
Thank you :) like when people tell you everything important in a simple language :)
Great. I broke the whole F-ing headlight assembly when I pushed it back in. Broke the gd rear clip off.
Ohhh that sounds expensive .........
Daaaum
A really good video with great instructions thanks for that.
I can't unscrew one of the bolts despite them being the same weird flathead / phillips combo thing
Cheers mate! Help me a lot 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers Sorensen
Thanks for helping me out 👍
Thanks, great help in working out how to change the bulb.
Thanks Sarah
@45 seconds. is this a plastic clip that will be broken in taking it off?
Got the bulb for £6 and fitted it myself, so Simple. Thank you 🙏🏽
🙏🙏👌👌
Fantastic video really clear instructions 👍
Thanks very much. Another job I can do myself and not have to pay someone else to do!
Cheers Robert

0:46 how is this plastik rivet called?

Do you know the name of the white plastic piece thats hold the lightbulb on second 1:16?
Thank you in advance
Did you got any information?
Thank you for your help
Thank you for doing this video !!!! Made my job very easy today!!!!👏👏👏👏...I really appreciate it 🤝🤝🤝🤝
Thanks I nearly gave up until I watched this :-)
Helped a lot! Cheers
Thanks for the comment
What’s the name of the tool you used to take the 2 bolts out at the start? Many thanks
Standard flathead screwdriver worked fine for me on my 2010 Fiesta.
Very helpful indeed. 10/10
Thank you. Ford manual that comes with the car is not much help! (I'm sure the team that write the manual never get to change a bulb!)
Thank you, great vid helped me☺
Thanks for the comment
Does it work on the other side too?
Genau so ist es, manche vergessen den kleinen Kunststoffstopfen vorne zu entfernen, so dass man die Vergleitung etwas nach vorne ziehen kann...
Confirming - Dipped beam is H7? What bulb is used for the high beam?
Now I just need a how-to on the turn signal bulb that's in the same headlight assembly as the bulbs you just changed.
Very helpful, thanks
I am struggling to disconnect the plug that connects the electrics to the unit - any advice would be appeciated
Good work mate. That clip underneath would likely catch most people out.
Great video really helped me
That convenient jump cut though!!
Brilliant, thank you, clear and accurate instructions.
Very good video
Thanks Ronny
Thank you that’s very useful.
Can you please show a video of how to change the indicator bulb please
Great, after watching this was even able to replace the bulb in the dark! thanks
Very helpful!
Nice one brother
Couldn't undo the multi plug any ideas?
Barry Britcher flat head screw driver
thanks a lot great video
Thanks
Brilliant thanks very helpful
Great job. Thank you
Thanks
Could you inform people how to replace the indicator bulb from the same unit . Thanks
Take car apart to change a bulb.
Not an easy life we live
Poor you
I’m scared to do this lol. Btw I need to remove my drivers seat to clip the bar that u pull to move the seat back and forth back on the pins. How easy is this task lol
Thanks for this.
Cheers man 👍🏻
Thanks Zander
Fair play lad very helpful
Anyone got any idea what kind of a screwdriver I need for this? My interchangeable kit doesn't have a star and flat head mix
Hi is the main headlight bulb a h7
Nice one
I can't unscrew one of the bolts despite them being the same weird flathead / phillips combo thing
In my frustration I've been using two flatheads together and applying quite a strong force as am a big guy but no budge, some minor shaving of the bolt and I'm scared of ruining it completely. I feel like sawing through the plastic bracket it's attached to I'm so annoyed
Why the hell did they make it so awkward to change a bulb?!
I'm having some head scratching over what bulb I get. My model is 58 plate fiesta. Some say it's a h4 bulb for dipped headlight. Others say it's a h7 I need. Anyone know which one I need?
Your answer is @ 2:32 if it is the same as the headlamp I am showing.
@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage thanks for replying. It's just that the main beam bulb looks different than my dipped headlight bulb. That one showing looks like my main beam bulb. My dipped headlight has gone.
If you are in any doubt just take it out, its a very simple job and there will be no confusion then.
Gerard i thank you kindfully
Thank you so much
No problem Simeon. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
you saved me $90
Glad I could help.
When I replaced my bulbs using this method I found that they had become crazy dipped down - literally pointing around a meter away from the front. Both sides too. Has this happened to anyone else?
You didn't show the only thing I need to see: HOW I REMOVE THE BULB FROM THE HOLDER?
Thanks. Works
Very useful
Nice, thx
thanks
Why can i never resecurw the bulb
Thank you
Your welcome.
You didn't show us the most important bit where you pull the bulb out. You cut to a clip where you already pulled it out.
Took specs...?
i had Lada , takes 5 seconds to change the bulb
Cheers mate..
No problem
