Changing headlight on drivers side Ford Fiesta?

The divers side headlight is out on my 03 Ford Fiesta. My boyfriend seemed to think it would be easy to fix and that he'd do it (I'm useless you see.) but he lifted the bonnet and said some choice words along with %26quot;How are you meant to get into it?%26quot;. I didn't have a look but apparently he can't see a way to change it. Doesn't help that I have no manual for the car as it was bought second hand, they appear to have lost it. Anyone been through this before? How did you fix it? I'd rather not have to take it to Ford, they'll change me for the pleasure I'm sure. Thanks!Changing headlight on drivers side Ford Fiesta?Well, normally Fords have a big black plastic guard with clips that cover the bulbs.



The bulbs will be held in by a wire clip, the replacement bulb will also have a flat spot on the metal rim this is so the bulb alignment is correct.



Alternatively take it to halfords and they will do it for about 2.99!Changing headlight on drivers side Ford Fiesta?dno bout the fiesta..but in my car you have to remove the bumper then the headlight to get the passenger side bulb in. Manufacturers are ars*hol*es and build cars so that simple things are hard.Changing headlight on drivers side Ford Fiesta?You have to move the stuff that's in the way to get to the lightChanging headlight on drivers side Ford Fiesta?There is a black plastic panel with a metal clip holding it in place push down the clip and remove plastic panel (do not be afraid to use force) you should then see the back of the bulb with a black connector with wires on it pull that off the bulb there is also a clip holding the bulb in place remove it like u would with a pin (push down, Glide it across a little and let go) take the bulb out and reverse this process. If you get stuck go to a halfords store and they will fit it for you for 4.99 (If they have done it before it should take a maximum of 2 mins, if they haven't done it before about 10 mins)
