Answer 1

First, you have to take out the front grill. You will then see phillips headed screws holding in the whole lighting unit. Undo them making sure you mark where the screw is in relation to the metal sleeve of the unit . Otherwise when you put the unit back your headlights will not be aligned. Pull out the whole unit, remove the spring clips to the faulty bulb, take out bulb and replace. If it is your head light then it will probably be a halogen bulb. On no account touch the new bulb with your bear hands otherwise it will blow as soon as you turn your lights on, use a cloth. If you do not have a hand book, and probably you don't or you would not need me to tell you all this, go to a proper auto accessory shop and they will know what bulb you need. Until you have changed it once it will seem a bit complicated. Good luck.

Answer 2

I would open the engine hood. Then you will see wires that seem to go into your light casing. Turn the end of the wire section, the bulb holder , counter clock wise. Then replace with another one. When it is out you can turn your lights on to make sure it is the right one. Some cars are quad lights, or two bulbs on one side and two bulbs on the other side. So there may be two bulbs in the one light casing.

Go to an Automotive parts store and ask them what the price of the light bulb is and what it looks light. That will give you an idea of the light bulb fixture I was talking about. If it is you take it off from the inside not outside.

Answer 3

If its a mark 3 mondeo then its held in by two steel pins inserted from the top,sort of ell shaped near the rear of the light unit.Pull them out and the light comes free

Answer 4

Use a hummer - crash that ******* car, and it'll be all right (it's not a promise).
