Does anyone know how to change the bulb in a 2002 Ford Focus? It's the passenger side headlight that's out.

Please keep in mind I no nothing about cars but I need to fix it soon and I'm on my own on this one. Please helpDoes anyone know how to change the bulb in a 2002 Ford Focus? It's the passenger side headlight that's out.hi,

i will try to explain this as simple as is..

first open your hood..,then look in the corner in front passenger side,there should be the back of the light..,i dont know in particular for your car model,but their can't be that big of a diffrence either,lol...,anyway,either it has on the back a cap,that can be screwed off,or it is a cap with handscrews,or it has a rubber that can be pulled off.

just follow the wire,in case of doubt..,its most likely the bulb is on the end of the wire...:-).(some cars have 2 bulbs on front,in case of doubt,you can always put on the lights,i think yours has two,then it will be most likely the bigger one)

if you got to the bulb that isent working,..,just pull of the wire first,you should pull that backwards from the bulb away..,than when the wire is off,look how it is connected,that can be a ring to turn off,or a spring,or a clip..i dont know exactly for your car...,just fumble a bit with it,it will come off..:-)..,but look good how its conected,cause you got to fit on the new bulb too..,when you look at bulb,you see 3 connections..,you should place the bulb with the one up,not down.,put in the new bulb,and turn a lil with it to left or right,till you feel it has a place where it stops and clicks a lil deeper in the hole,then mount the connection again,weither it was a ring or a clip,put on the wire again,with the one on top,you will not get it on otherwise..its formed that way..,anyway test your light,before you put on the cap again..Does anyone know how to change the bulb in a 2002 Ford Focus? It's the passenger side headlight that's out.good to know all went well..:-)

It's the passenger side headlight that's out.It is actually rather simple. Open the hood and look at the back end of the headlamp assembly. You will notice wires running to the plug in the middle of the back. This plug can be taken out by twisting it counter-clockwise until it stops (about a quarter turn), then pulling straight back. The bulb in this socket can be removed and replaced. Put the plug back in the same way, being sure to line up the tabs, then rotate clockwise the same quarter turn. You can take the bulb to any car parts store for a replacement. Five bucks and five minutes later, you are done.
