there is an easier way. just turn your wheel in and remove 4 bolts on wheel well cover. fold back a bit and you can reach your arm in, disconnect wire assembly, take out light and repeat for other side. this way will only take you 15 minutes at most. if you take out your head lights, you run the risk of alignment issues (where your light will focus) with reinstalling them.

+Joe Hoinoski Yours is actually the 'standard' way to reach and remove the fog light bulbs on the modern cars these days, not Ford exclusive. However; I have a tight space in garage and working from the sideway is not always an option, let alone getting quite dirty when working through the wheel wells, twice! And no, the Ford Focus at this generation has the fix mount points for the whole headlight assembly to mount/dismount, working like LEGO, so the beam alignment is never an issue. Indeed, in order to reach any of the headlight bulbs for replacement, you'll have to dismount the whole thing and pop out the rubber grommets at the assembly because the whole light is an enclosed unit.

moomoo97 - thank you very much for your in-depth process on replacing these bulbs. I just had one go out, and always figured I'd have to go about removing a few of those interlocking plastic shields, along with all those pain-in-the-ass plastic clips. Your way looks much easier, and since its likely the actual headlight low/high beams are probably the next to go bad, figure if I can afford it, I should replace all the lights since I have to remove the headlight assembly anyway. Looks like it is just 1 screw on top of each headlight assy, somehow find that hard to believe, and hope you right on your reply to SKI in that there are no alignment issues when done.

great vid, thanks moomoo!!! this worked great for my 2014 Focus ST 3. I also used your remove headlight assembly vid in conjunction for getting at the fog lights, too. Everything worked great and didn't take long. The only thing I'd say is that I believe the fog light unit turned counter-clockwise to twist off, (not clockwise).

Glad my steps helped. You need to remove something in either way to access the fog on this car, but I like access it from the top than from the wheel well because it's easier to see. Actually your speaker wire solution is already good, as long as you taped properly in the wire-jointed area for water protection.

Thanks moomoo - This worked out perfectly for my 2012 Focus SE Hatchback. I watched both your "Remove headlight assembly" video and this one, and swapped out my fog light bulbs. I took out the stock bulbs and replaced them with a pair of Opt7 Plasma ION yellow bulbs... it all went like clockwork just as you described and didn't take long. Probably 35 minutes total, and that's probably because I had never done this before - and was being extra careful. Thanks again - your videos are GREAT!!!

Mine is a Ford Focus ST. But other than the drivetrain and suspension, its exterior & interior is near the same to most other Mk3 Focus (2012+ model) There're already a ton of Ford Focus videos here for the exterior & interior reviews, so I don't need to duplicate those to bore everyone. :) Unless you have something particularly want to check out (which is not already on KZitem here).

I just bought some Spyder LED headlights which I'm going to install Sunday, and I bought some New Brights H11 LED headlights that hopefully fit in the fog light spot, same size, but they have ballasts and all. But 6400 lumens =) I was curious how much wire length our Focus' had, which led me to your video. Would it kill them to have added 6 inches of wire length to do it outside the hood? lol

Pizza Delivery I like the LED bulb tech but retrofit them into the lens housing designed for Halogen/HID will sometimes be a hit or miss. LED lights throw a lot of light but it is not focused, the beam floods out but does not project if the original lens housing is not for it. But let us know how your LED install in the Focus lens here.

Blue is not an ideal color for Fog Lights because it actually gives out less visible light. Use either Cool White or Amber/Yellow color instead. If your Focus is also using H11 bulb for Fog Lights, I'd recommended you go search for "H11 CREE Q5 LED" bulb in White or Amber color....You won't be disappointed.

I thought my fog light blew out since only one was turning on. when I pulled out the light I discovered the wires that connect to my light got pinched and cut on one side causing them not to work. your video made things so much easier. anyways for now im using speaker wires to fix them unless I can find a better fix

There are two ways you can do... 1) Remove the whole front bumper cover and unclip the bezel from behind the cover. 2) Leave the bumper cover on but remove the whole front under-trays under the engine & radiator. Although you have to lie on the floor afterward to unclip the bezel since the bumper cover is on the car still.

***** They bound to be dirty due to their lower position at the front. For lens cleaning Windex or any windshield cleaner spray will work fine. You can also apply RainX on them afterward, which may delay the dirty water to stay and stain on them.

I think so as the principle is the same to reach the fog light bulbs. You may need to be careful when removing the headlight sets though. Try reference this clip of 2008 Focus Headlamp removal: kzitem.info/news/bejne/mG-ezap3fYiAqYo

Which Focus model do you have? But in general, it'll be easier if you can get to it from the inside behind the bumper. Drop the skid plate thing from underneath and you'll see how to remove the assembly.

moomoo97 Mine doesn't either :( The glove box sucks anyway. It's laid out wrong and if you put stuff in the wrong spot it won't close. Plus, no hole for the aux cable to come out of so you have to close it on those bending the wire. No usb either.

Pizza Delivery To be fair, Ford did put the USB ports inside the Center Console storage box in our Focus though, which makes sense than put it to the glove box for easier reach.
