How To Replace A Headlight Bulb In A Ford Fiesta

[@Aggie681]

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. 👍

[@snabbism]

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.

[@Cjay75]

My thoughts exactly

[@_Bradley]

100% this... Should be such a simple task

[@budbud2509]

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 !!

[@aleksanderbajko7037]

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

[@djshotty]

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).

[@itzharoon123]

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

[@Lukeywoodsey]

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

[@mzrashid.]

Really helpful video mate I’m a complete novice when it comes to this type of stuff but you made it really easy

[@jayb2661]

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 😅

[@bobstersbike]

If your not a teacher you should be, very helpful thank you so much.

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Thanks for the kind words

[@xMrUnnamed]

I broke the white clip @ 1:18. Is there a part number or any way I can get a replacement part?

[@SahelSarai]

Didnt take any lessons, watched this video three times and passed! Thank you so much!

[@larry4789]

Probably the best tutorial on KZbin, on any subject. Cheers 👍

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Thank you

[@richardthornton1235]

One of the best bulb change videos out there. Thanks.

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Thank you

[@alexmichael5848]

Definitely makes my top 10

[@royaltyace_]

Was a huge help, thanks. Saved me €80

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Thanks for the feedback 🙏🙏

[@Definitely4lex]

10/10 for the tutorial there much appreciated, dead easy to do when someone shows you how!

[@simonpatrick9192]

That was excellent thanks, it's taken me ages in the past!

[@tomasfreire1744]

Do you know the name of the white plastic piece thats hold the lightbulb on second 1:16? Thank you in advance

[@xMrUnnamed]

Did you got any information?

[@daguardarenelsilenzio7744]

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.

[@markokeeffe8361]

Thanks for showing AND explaining about the locating clip beneath the headlamp unit. Ford manual does not mention this!

[@JoeSenfmacher]

0:46 how is this plastik rivet called? I lost one :( need replacement dont know how to find. Please help!

[@wilcovanwinden6581]

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

[@quarky123456]

@45 seconds. is this a plastic clip that will be broken in taking it off?

[@janefair5773]

This is the best video so far.

[@kieranmagee5832]

Nice and simple explanation saved a lot of tome and potential damage many thanks

[@carolhutchinson1253]

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!

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Thanks Carol, great to hear that feedback 🙏🙏🤗🤗

[@Stratman389]

I am struggling to disconnect the plug that connects the electrics to the unit - any advice would be appeciated

[@iraqybomer]

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

[@badmintonR]

Does it work on the other side too?

[@ottobremadness]

Watched this, Apply this, Easy and Helpful. Thanks man! Just need to search directly for the unplugging of the socket, but overall, great!

[@mcsparkyd]

What’s the name of the tool you used to take the 2 bolts out at the start? Many thanks

[@DavidCowie2022]

Standard flathead screwdriver worked fine for me on my 2010 Fiesta.

[@Whoswho1898]

Legend! Just saved me a tenner

[@zillmehta3965]

Thanks alot, you saved my 20$

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

[@MrEye4get]

Confirming - Dipped beam is H7? What bulb is used for the high beam?

[@mentalhealthandlife]

Got the bulb for £6 and fitted it myself, so Simple. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

🙏🙏👌👌

[@carmeloprochilo7352]

A really good video with great instructions thanks for that.

[@jd12v07]

I can't unscrew one of the bolts despite them being the same weird flathead / phillips combo thing

[@tomf170]

Could you inform people how to replace the indicator bulb from the same unit . Thanks

[@sarahday3796]

Thanks, great help in working out how to change the bulb.

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Thanks Sarah

[@wiscgaloot]

Great. I broke the whole F-ing headlight assembly when I pushed it back in. Broke the gd rear clip off.

[@budbud2509]

Ohhh that sounds expensive .........

[@LikaPyramid]

Daaaum

[@chengzhang6264]

Thanks for helping me out 👍

[@random275]

Thanks I nearly gave up until I watched this :-)

[@R118GSiVVC]

Thank you for your help

[@frankrissel3556]

Genau so ist es, manche vergessen den kleinen Kunststoffstopfen vorne zu entfernen, so dass man die Vergleitung etwas nach vorne ziehen kann...

[@nickarcher4775]

Fantastic video really clear instructions 👍

[@steveo2009100]

Hi is the main headlight bulb a h7

[@dmandhelen]

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Thanks

[@robertdale2964]

Thanks very much. Another job I can do myself and not have to pay someone else to do!

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Cheers Robert

[@djshotty]

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.

[@madssrensen1613]

Cheers mate! Help me a lot 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Cheers Sorensen

[@ronnyfalck4838]

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Thanks for the comment

[@willhearnden5884]

Good work mate. That clip underneath would likely catch most people out.

[@daguardarenelsilenzio7744]

Nice one brother

[@markedwards6943]

Very helpful indeed. 10/10

[@seantjuhh90]

Very helpful, thanks

[@bencavanagh1587]

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

[@danbailey7329]

Great video really helped me

[@lukecoppersolomons3765]

Very helpful!

[@sherlock5720]

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

[@jd12v07]

I can't unscrew one of the bolts despite them being the same weird flathead / phillips combo thing

[@jd12v07]

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

[@iantaylor7730]

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!)

[@andrewruff590]

Great, after watching this was even able to replace the bulb in the dark! thanks

[@vanderpant2116]

Thank you, great vid helped me☺

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Fair play lad very helpful

[@johnhawthorne4716]

Take car apart to change a bulb. Not an easy life we live

[@Type797]

Poor you

[@pittviper6320]

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]

Your answer is @ 2:32 if it is the same as the headlamp I am showing.

[@pittviper6320]

@@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.

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

If you are in any doubt just take it out, its a very simple job and there will be no confusion then.

[@zanderortiz86]

Cheers man 👍🏻

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Thanks Zander

Glad I could help.

[@StevieTheFool]

Gerard i thank you kindfully

[@mizheanfrazier5441]

Took specs...?

[@grover-]

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?

[@aleksanderbajko7037]

i had Lada , takes 5 seconds to change the bulb

[@franklin5348]

Thank you

[@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage]

Your welcome.

[@MrQuintonia]
