I had to change my headlight bulbs in my ford focus this morning. Having had a nightmare with headlight bulbs in our Renault Megane and losing many skin cells, and blood in the process - i was a little worried as to how this would turn out.
As it happened, it was as easy as finding an ugly picture of Cherie Blair on the Internet. Very! I had both bulbs changed in 10 minutes!
1. Unscrew screw securing headlights to body
2. Pull headlight assembly out
3. unclip the backing of the headlight
4. unplug wiring
5. unclip bulb, and withdraw
6. Place new bulb in and put bulb clip back
7. Re-plug in wiring
8. Put headlight backing on and clip back
9. Put headlight Assembly back into position
10. Screw back screw.
Job done!! How easy is that! Compare this to changing bulbs on the Renault Megane:
1. open bonnet
2. Take wheel off
3. Put arm into wheel arch
4. Scratch arm
5. Try to reach bulb through the smallest hole in the world
6. Cut arm,
7. Swear lots and get annoyed
8. Cut finger
9. Get first aid kit
10. Put wheel back on
11. Drive to halfords
12. Stand and laugh at assistant trying to replace bulb and repeating steps 1 to 9.
13. Sell Renault and vow never to buy a French car again!
