How to Replace Ford Fusion Headlight?

It is not difficult to replace your Ford Fusion lights. You just need the right tools and of course, the new parts that need to be replaced. Once you have these, you can easily replace the headlights of your Ford Fusion and drive safely any time once again.

Steps to Replacing Ford Fusion Headlights

The first two things you need to do is open the hood and move to the side of the car that has the burnt out headlight bulb. Next, locate the pop rivet fasteners, which secure the radiator cover trim panel made of black plastic to the front of the engine bay and the front bumper fascia. Using a flathead screwdriver, lift up each pop rivet's center part before you pry the base out of the fastener. All you really need to do is remove 4 pop rivets at the radiator cover's front edge.

You will also have to loosen the wheel well liner and pull it back to separate it from the front bumper cover. Also, gently pull out the fascia bumper cover's outside edge to separate it from the front quarter panel. Next, disengage the lower fixing point from the mounting socket. The high beam bulb is located near the headlight assembly's inner corner.

The next step is to pull off the rubber dust cap from the back of the housing, and then gently pull off the electrical connector from the old bulb. Gently push in the end of the metal retaining arm to release it from the hook. Release the old high beam bulb by swinging open the retaining arm and pull the bulb straight out of the housing. Insert the new high beam light bulb into the housing. Wipe it clean using a paper towel moistened with rubbing alcohol before replacing everything back to cover it.
