My baby (first car) mark V fiesta 2000 ghia x reg. has blown one of its lights from the front so when i put on the front lights the illumination is from that side of the car is minimal. do i have to replace the whole unit or just the bulb?

if so how do you go about changing the bulb?

thanks in advance.

Just the bulb, remove headlight by undoing 3 screws around the headlight unit, unplug it, and take it out. The bulb is very easy to locate and is only held in by 2 paper clip like wires, bend them back and remove it and put in the new bulb ( make sure not to touch the bulb ).

As above but you need to take out the grill in the middle which has a clip on each side then a couple of locating lugs just be careful when you put the headlamp back in that you dont overtighten the fixings as they break pretty easy
