Thank you soo much, really clearly explained, I’m thinking this is also how I have a leaky boot as there is no gasket on the light and mine is a bit broken

[@CycloneCyd]

Yes, the C1 has a similar problem. Remove the light and apply a bead of silicone (black) to the unit and refit. You might want to fit an LED though 'cos that will make it difficult to remove in the future.

Great explanation Sid and by far and away the best one I found so cheers and well done. Actually got pulled over by a 'jobs worth' copper and told this top light was not working even though both the near and offside stoplights were so....... was I driving illegally? I don't think so.

[@CycloneCyd]

Actually you were. However, neither they nor you can know when the bulb failed - it could have failed only moments before they saw you). At the end of the day, they were protecting you. If someone had run into the back of you and then were able to show the brake light wasn't working, it would probably go '50/50' on insurance. Always look on the bright side ......

Hello there, nice explanation. I wonder if you know how to chance the light bulb from the heater control unit of the _Ford Fiesta 5_ , because I have no idea how to replace it. Cheers

[@CycloneCyd]

Sorry friend, I've never had anything to do with the mk5 Fiesta

[@hornetluca]

Cyclone Cyd , I thought it wasn't so different from the Fiesta you've been working on. Thanks again

[@1i2cVision]

Really couldn't find the angle through the hole to find the clips and worried about accidentally clipping the hose. Shone light through the hole, but can't see anything and turned car around to allow sunlight to shine through for a different light, but still unsuccessful. Looked easier than it is. Shamme.

[@CycloneCyd]

Thanks for commenting, but what can I say? Many many others have found the video to be just what they needed and plenty of glowing comments below.

[@1i2cVision]

@@CycloneCyd Very true, I was worried mostly about squeezing or damaging the pipe. It was a little more fiddly than it looked, that's all. If I have to try again, I will try to use a better torch and avoid sunlight! A guy at a garage managed to help and replace this in a couple of minutes. Your advice was still good and practical.

[@Pumpkinhead77]

Very helpful. I've got the Haynes manual but that wasn't very easy to understand. Why does Ford make it so difficult?

[@CycloneCyd]

Thanks

[@keen2b]

I followed your instructions to the letter job done, After returning to a garage to pick up my 2006 mk6 after its MOT which fails the day before on account of badly worn brack pipe I also asked the girl at the reception if the mechanic if he could renew the front parking bulbs and tailgate break bulb which as also blown, No problem replyed the girl, Today however after paying £128 pounds includes MOT, She went on to say the tailgate unit needs replacement and couldn't replace the bulb, Puzzled I went straight to my local auto spares shop bought 2 w16w bulbs disconnected the unit which was perfectly good changed bulb works as it should do, In short the guy working on my car just couldn't be bothered, Wont be going there ever again!! Being a pensioner I feel ripped off!!😡

[@CycloneCyd]

Most 'mechanics' aren't fit to service a walking stick and most garage owners have a fin on their back that would make a great white jealous. I recommend you go to a dedicated MoT centre where that's all they do. I use Lutterworth MoT centre. The guys there are car nuts (like me), very knowledgeable and give a "fair but firm" MoT. They do not do any repairs so are not "looking" for work. Yeah, they clearly tried to rip you off. Good on your 'savvy' !

[@jabulanenkomo1936]

Does this work the same with Ford Figo 2010 model, now that this looks similar?

[@CycloneCyd]

Hi Jabulane, sorry but I can't give you a definitive answer. AFAIK the Figo is based on the mk5 Fiesta, which had a completely different third brake light to the mk6 (as in this video). The mk5 version is mounted on the inside of the rear window in a 'pod'. So I'd say as looks like this mk6 light (based on pictures I can find) then there is a good chance it is the same. Will you come back to us and let us know how you get on, please?

[@mtorressahli]

The light of my 2004 Ford Fusion was clipped onto itself (?). Thanks to this I figured out how to free the clips so they would attach to the door. Now I have light and washer jet fixed for £0 (or $0). Thank you! Does anyone have a link to an LED bulb that surely fits on this one? Cheers!

[@CycloneCyd]

Hi Manuel, thanks for watching and interacting. Is the Fusion third brake light the same as this Fiesta then? I'd love to know, thanks. I've found an LED W16W that is the same size as the standard W16W bulb (most are larger). This should do you: tinyurl.com/w16wled 🖖🖖🖖👍

[@mtorressahli]

Hi! At least that version of the fusion (2002-2004 I think) was based on the Fiesta - just bigger and uglier, haha. They share most of the parts, I think. As far as I can tell from the video, the entire back door is identical. Many thanks for the link to the light!

[@CycloneCyd]

@@mtorressahli I've just had a look at the description of the Fusion on the HonestJohn website and yes, it's opening sentence is how it's Fiesta based. Thanks for enlightening me. It means some of my Fez videos are applicable to Fusion so I can add Fusion related terms to descriptions and tags. Every day is a skool day, lol

Hi Ewan, thanks for watching. Please like 👍 the video and consider subscribing. There'll be more Fiesta as the year progresses. 🚘 Can you be a bit more specific about whereabouts this is on the screen and the time stamp you noticed it at? Although I've got a feeling 🤔 it might be some of the slight 'finger bubbles' in the tint film which we applied ourselves. Do come back and let us know if you reach a conclusion and sort it. 😀

[@ewanmorrison5004]

Cyclone Cyd I noticed the marks throughout when the tailgate is in shot, however at 1:44, you get a closer look. It is the faint grey lines in and around the rear heated window lines. I have no idea what the marks are called, only that both mine and your sons fiesta both have them.
