in car as above is it big job to replace front fog light bulb

 

[Caveat]

Might be for a novice.

It was awkward to change the lightbulbs on one side of the previous model Fiesta (need to take out air filter/box, bad design)

Ford may have addressed it with this next model though.

Caveat are you not mixing up the head lamps with the (lower) fog lamps?


No need to remove air filter box to change fog lamps as these are set low down in the front bumper/air dam.

Ooops - yes, you're right.

It is awkward, you need to disconnect the wires, unclip the whole fog light, pop it out, remove the bulb and then pop it back in, reconnect it and clip it in place. The problem is when you are trying to recnnect it. If you do it before you pop it back in it won't fit through the gap, and to do it afterwards is really awkward. I did it for the NCt and think I found stepby step instructions on an internet search. The bumper might look as if theres a little piece broken off it but this is to allow for fitting. I'll see if I can find the link for you.
