Thank you so much for these types of videos. This lady car owner is extremely grateful. Although I do now feel a little anxious to attempt this, will give it a go 😬 Just as you think you are OK doing these "simple" tasks on your car, they then make it a Crystal Maze puzzle. Thanks Ford!
Spent an hour in the freezing cold looking for the well disguised plastic bolt.Well done mate. Nice explanation. Ridiculous design. I used to laugh at people who couldn't change a bulb!!! Not any more.😬
Brilliant and very useful video. I’d been struggling to do what I imagined would be a straightforward job but couldn’t see how to remove the lens. That nicely concealed wing nut was the answer so many thanks for providing the answer.
Oooohhhh thank you soooo much for that!!, loved the help much appreciated!, this pommie now looks like a legend here in Melbourne Australia hehehe, thank you, much appreciated 🥳🥳
Thank you for the video like many others have said. I was at my wit's end with trying to replace my brake light outside halfords and then search for a video first one was no go to me but this one here was bang on
Thank you Taj, typical Ford design and the handbook is next to useless. You saved me the walk of shame going into Halfords to ask for help changing the bulb!!
Great video and thanks...the "really tight" wing nut/spacer can be loosened if really tight by removed the two Torx screws and "wobbling" the light body a bit. This seem to break any corrosion on the wingnut/stud threads.
Hey Taj, great video explained really well! I have an issue that I can't seem to find a fix for in my fiesta, the glove box handle has snapped and I can't find a way to pull it out. I already have the replacement but the old one won't come out, even if you un-do the Torx screws after opening the glove box. Any ideas?
Thank you my friend, the handbook doesn't really explain this procedure clearly. I have changed both stop&tail bulbs on my partner's Fiesta this evening and saved her a few £.
Thanks for this. I need to change one tomorrow. Looks like I need a special screw driver to take the screws out. What's the name of the screwdriver I would need and size? Cheers!
Hi mate watched this before doing it on mine , however when putting the bulb in I did have to twist pretty hard . Tried the old bulb and slotted in and twisted nicely. Did get the new ones in but did take a bif of effort .
Good evening . I know the video was posted a few years ago but it will be a great help . What is the name of the screw which is difficult to get to . I know I will drop it so I want to order a spare one before I change my bulb. Cheers
@@TajMotorMedics yes thank . I had a S-Max before and they had two you had to undo and I managed to drop 1 of those . I will get a couple so I have spare ones . Just in case

Very good video! Thank you!
Pity so few views, but you have shown me how to change one and i am very pleased thanks for the Vid.
Absolute legend, thanks so much for the video. Just followed this - took me 15mins all in, no issues at all 👍
No problem 👍
Thank you so much, I'd never have found that bolt without you. You're an absolute star.

Thank you job done I couldn't find the hidden bolt until I found your video
Thanks for posting this. Very useful.
Legend! Thanks for this video mate, very helpful and straight to the point
Thank you so much for showing the process in detail.
Top man Taj - Thank You!
My pleasure!
Thanks this is the best video for Ford Fiesta brake light change! :)
Thankyou for this! Been ignoring that break light being out for some time now. Just bought some bulbs, found your video, really quick job!
Thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you!!!! It worked, your instructions were very clear and easy to follow!!😘
Thank You 🙏🏽 😊
Watched this video, clear instructions at a good pace. Wife has working brake lights and saved me a bit of money.
Thank you.
I was hoping this wasn’t the case but hay ho. Thanks so much for such a user friendly video 👍
Thanks m8 I'm fully trained off to change it now 😀 👍
Very helpful,clear video. Thank you!
Thank you very much you solved me a big problem
I had 2009 fiesta, tought it would be easy bulb change. That carpet is awfull for removing. Thx man
Great video, thank you!

thank you great video 📹

Great video. Thanks for the help, what an outrageous place to put an pointless screw
Definitely pointless screw in the inside 🤦🏽
@@TajMotorMedics is there any point tightening that inside screw back on once it is off? A few fiesta's don't have it anyway
Thank you!!! ❤️
Hi mate, thank you for your video you advised not to drop but unfortunately it was dropped how can I order tail light retaining nut bolts?
Hi, you can get them online and they’re not expensive. Or get 10mm nut and washer that should do the trick. Thanks 🙏🏽
Hi again, thank you for your reply 👍
Hi mate watched this before doing it on mine , however when putting the bulb in I did have to twist pretty hard . Tried the old bulb and slotted in and twisted nicely. Did get the new ones in but did take a bif of effort .
Hi Hope it was sorted for you!! I’m not sure why the new bulb was tight unless manufacturers defect on the bulb maybe 🤔

Hey, what happens if that bolt falls? Is it lost for good? 🤦🏼♀️
I have literally just broke my tail light because i watched a different vid and they didnt show that screw part 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Thank you
Is the process the same for both sides? Need to replace for the offside not nearside
Yes, exactly the same.
The reverse light is connected with a black and a white wire - but which is live and which is earth?
How to change rear fog light bulb ?
Great - if you can loosen the "hidden" plastic nut. Mine's too tight for me to turn. The rest was easy enough.
Legend!
Why they make you need a torx bit requirement, rather than a normal screwdriver
Cheers
Why did they make this fkn hole so small my hand doesn’t even fit in it so I can’t unscrew the back screw 😭
Cheers, agree, awful design. Also, if it was a VW product, it would tell you that a light was gone
It does tell you, for indicator anyway. Clicking was double speed and a warning on the screen.
