change headlight bulbs

[Russ T Bitz]

Basically....how do I do it? On my old Rover 200 Gti you just pulled the rubber 'stopper' away from the back of the headlight unit and got access to it there.

 

On my Escort I can't seem to get in there. I found 3 allen key sockets that seemed to hold the unit to the bodywork but when I removed them there was no movement.

 

So how do I get access to the bulbs to change them?

the back of the main light unit there is a metal clip that holders on the plastic cover onto the back of the light unit, take this off and you will see the bulbs and all the wires

Perfect! Thanks

 

What about the front foglight bulbs? I can feel the rubber 'stopper' under the front spoiler so I guess I just pop that off and go in that way but which bulb do I use? Is there a standard part number for it?
