Thank you! The guys at Oreilly’s just told me I would need to take my 2010 Ford Focus to the mechanic. I borrowed a socket wrench and did it myself in the parking lot using this video😍

This was the one video that actually portrayed the headlamp apparatus in my 2011 Focus. It is the only one that tells you about the crucial, yet hidden, 3rd screw and clamps. Wasted a great deal of time trying to wiggle loose an assembly that was still screwed down! Thank you!

You just saved me, my old 2008's headlight bulb went out and went I took it to auto shop they quoted me a huge amount to replace the assembly and that they couldn't replace the bulb. I said no thanks and already had the bulb, then found this Godsend of a video and was able to install the bulb without damaging the assembly. I think they told me that because of the dash and the third screw and clamps (or just trying to screw me), either way I will be sending thanks via PayPal dude. Thank you!

My wife has a 2011 NON MKIII Focus, so KZbin, my old reference book, had difficulty finding a NON MKIII headlamp replacement, because all the MKIII have only two bolts, you pull up on the lamp and bingo bango, you're on your way. Now, I'm a kinda handy guy. I only saw the two bolts and a lot of frustration until I find this Vid. Remove the Grill? What is this madness? It was just as easy as you said. Thanks for being, my friend. If you're ever in Tulsa, OK let me know. Your drink of choice is on me.
@bbs54005 жыл бұрын
thank you man! this was the only video i could find that actually told me how to do it, im going to do it without taking off the headlights or grille but you were still the only one to say that you have to twist the headlight then pull, every other video said to just pull it out, hopefully i didn't yank the wires out of the terminals, wish me luck
@daveford30013 жыл бұрын
What this video and others fail to tell you is that the only way that grill comes out the way it's shown above, is if the 2 retaining clips on the bottom of the grill are broken. You need to rest a towel on the bumper so you don't scrape it up, insert a flat head screwdriver between the bumper and grill where the 2 large (2") clips are and gently twist to pry it up. Only then will your grill pop out like the above.

Still a great video tutorial Ed! I bought replacement lamps before I even looked into how they were swapped. Got home from Autozone and did the KZbin search. At the beginning of your vid I thought "Oh no, I'm screwed". Then I did it. Thank you very much! Got some Meguire's PlastX lens cleaner too to clear up that glaucoma. My lights will be bright tonight. I did find that Channel Locks work very well for twisting the base from the housing. (Not clamping, but as a spanner wrench next to the tabs.) My girl hands did manage to snap the replacements back into place on the reinstall.

Great video, I'd add is that the grille snaps in so you have to muscle it out (and in). The clip for the headlight is TOUGH to pull out. Two of my bolts plastic was already cracked so they disintegrated when I removed the bolt. For both headlights & turn signals, took me about 45 minutes from hood open to hood close, and that included a lot of moving slow to make sure I didn't crack anything.

THIS IS A GREAT VIDEO OF HOW NOT TO CHANGE YOUR HEADLIGHT BULB! Simply loosen the hose clamp on the air box and remove the hose from the air box. Disconnect the wire going to the air box sensor. Remove the two 10 mm screws and lift the air box out. Now locate and remove the bulb by turning it counter-clockwise as if you were sitting in the driver's seat. Installation is reverse order. It only takes about 7 - 10 minutes. If you are replacing the bulb on the passenger side. Remove two 10 mm screws and swing the coolant bottle out of the way. Locate and turn the bulb nut counter-clockwise as if you are sitting in the driver's seat. It only take about 5 - 7 minutes. Installation is reverse order.

No no no … my grill would not come off, yes I removed everything and still wouldn’t come out of clips. I also removed all 3 bolts on headlamp assembly and could get that off either. In my frustration I thought maybe I could just twist off bulb at the back of headlamp… like every bulb I haven’t changed… AND guess what ? It worked, I reached back there and it took me 1 minute to get bulb changed and put back.
