Bulbs of lanterns of passing, driving, parking light and direction indicators are located all together in the headlight housing. To replace the bulb, the headlight must be removed: there is no reason to use unauthorized hands - you open the engine hood, release both clips on the sides on top of the radiator grille and pull out the grille. If you now pull out both mounting pins (indicated by arrows) on top of the headlight housing and then unplug the bulb plug, you have a complete headlight ready for bulb replacement. Attention: not to «darken» your relationship with a halogen lamp, never take it by the glass bulb, but only by the cartridge. Use only spare lamps with a UV filter.
Fully pull out both mounting pins. |

PRACTICAL ADVICE |
Headlight position check - after every bulb change
Since the reflector must be adjusted when changing the headlight bulb, before changing the bulb, place your Mondeo in front of a dark wall, if possible, and mark with a piece of chalk on the wall the beams of light of working lamps. After replacing the lamp, compare the light hole of the new lamp with the old one. If your Mondeo is clearly «mows to the side», it is better to carry out the necessary adjustment of the light in a special workshop using an optical device for installing headlights. |

PRACTICAL ADVICE |
Replacing incandescent bulbs
Any ordinary incandescent lamp is subject to wear: the particles of the filament evaporate and its light output decreases. Therefore, in the outdoor lighting sector (except for halogen lamps) Replace incandescent bulbs generally at least every two years. «Aging» lamps are usually recognized visually by a slightly blackened glass bulb. |
