The low beam, high beam, parking light and turn signal bulbs are all located together in the headlight housing. To replace the bulb, you need to remove the headlight: there is no reason to use other people's hands - you open the engine hood, release both clips on the sides above the radiator grille and pull out the grille. If you now pull out both mounting pins (indicated by arrows) on the top of the headlight housing and then disconnect the lamp plug, you have a complete headlight ready for changing the bulbs. Warning: in order not to "sullied" your relationship with the halogen lamp, never take it by the glass bulb, but only by the socket. Use only spare bulbs with a UV filter.
Pull both mounting pins out completely. |

PRACTICAL ADVICE |
Checking the position of the headlights - after each lamp change
Since the reflector needs to be adjusted when replacing the headlight bulb, before replacing the bulb, park your Mondeo in front of a dark wall if possible and mark the light beams of the working bulbs on the wall with a piece of chalk. After replacing the bulb, compare the light hole of the new bulb with the old one. If your Mondeo is clearly "skewed to the side", it is better to carry out the necessary light adjustment in a special workshop using an optical device for installing headlights. |

PRACTICAL ADVICE |
Another replacement of incandescent lamps
Any regular incandescent lamp is subject to wear: the filament particles evaporate and its light output decreases. Therefore, in the outdoor lighting sector (except halogen lamps), replace incandescent lamps generally at least every two years. "Aging" lamps are usually visually recognizable by a slightly blackened glass bulb. |
