The best video describing how to complete this simple repair. Other videos edited out necessary steps as if the people watching are experts. I appreciate you taking the time to help us novices and to answer questions. You are saving people precious dollars (and tickets) they don’t have. Bless you.
I'm not a wrencher, but I've learned to do so much on this car (2010 SES) from UA-cam videos. Everything is basic nuts & bolts or snaps together like Lego. Have saved $1000's by DIY.
Thanks for the video. I removed the panel in the trunk thinking I'd have access to the bulb immediately. Obviously this wasn't the case. Your video saved me a lot of time trying to figure it out. I never would have seen the one long bolt hiding in the hole
Thank you so much. 2nd time I've had to change my turn signal bulb and I've used your helpful video to do it myself. Now being a widow, these types of videos are so helpful. I rummage through my husband's tools, grab what you tell me I need, and go to work. Thank you!
Thanks, this helped me save some time, although one of the plastic retainer screws was stripped, and I ended up having to just pry it out, screw and all. A couple differences on my 2010 SES. It was an 11mm nut, not a 12mm, and I don't know if it's the updated part number or a compatible one, but a Sylvania 3157 is what I was recommended and what I installed.
Thanks so much for your video. I got this done on my 2010 Ford Focus today. It was ridiculously difficult to access a bulb Ford KNEW would need replacement eventually. Hope that's the last time!! There were eight panels screws to remove and then the two bolts on each rear light. Those were 12mm on this vehicle. What a pain how they recessed the bolts. SMH. The worst ones were the recessed nuts where you couldn't even get your hand in the hole!
I wish you would have shown removing the plastic shroud(s) in the trunk. In addition to the 3 screws in those goofy plastic clips, there are 2 snap in place (which can break easily) that have to be pried off the metal. If you need to take the plastic shroud that goes over the trunk latch, that's 4 of those crazy screws into plastic clips plus 3 additional plastic clips that have to pried off the metal and hammered back in place with your fist. They look similar to the snap on clips on the threshold plate on the door frames if you ever have to replace those. Also, your lens assembly came off a lot easier than mine. I had to pry it first with my pocket knife then a flat head screwdriver. Thanks for your video. It was very helpful. P.s. I don't think you REALLY want to meet the person who designed this.
Glad you found the video helpful. If it wasn't 10 degrees outside that day I would have put more into the video. It was kind of an afterthought to make the video.
Thanks for making this video. I was banging my head up against a wall. 😖 I can write software code to do some amazing things; however, for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out how to change a turn signal light. 😞 Thanks for saving my sanity! 😁
Just finished with one of these jobs. Adding even more difficulty, the assembly isn’t just tighten down the nuts and it is done; you will need to adjust those nuts to make sure the fit is correct. We tightened down the assembly just to have a gap you could almost put your finger through at the top.
@@dowhatyougottado4283 I had to borrow the deep socket wrench, but overall, went fine! You weren't kidding about the stupid design! I was praying to all the gods not to let me drop that stupid nut down the frame! Lol
Welp I’m a idiot I took out the backup light cuz my blinker quick working and it didn’t seem to work god I have stupid written all over my face!!!! Thank you for the video!!!!
have a 2010 focus SE, 12mm deep socket was too big for the nuts, i had to use an 11mm deep socket instead, thank god i did this outside of an auto parts store
Just finished replacing the taillight bulb on the drivers side and check this out, one bolt to the right was an 11mm the one to the left was a 10mm. Good grief. You'd think they'd make it easy but NOOOOOOOO!!!
That didn't help for shit how the hell do you get the nut that is recessed do you need an extra deep socket? Ive never seen a socket that deep. Thats the hardest part of this whole job!

Thank you. I hope it helps many people. Have a great day
Thanks. Help me a lot.
This is the last ford I will own ever. I m done with this. A lot of non sense engineering.

Thanks for making this video. I was banging my head up against a wall. 😖

Thanks for saving my sanity! 😁
Glad I was able to help
Thank you… but I am still asking my husband to replace the light 😂
Once you how to do it. It is only a ten minute job. Anybody can get it done. Do what you gottado. 😉
Thanks for the video it was very helpful. I love my focus but the access to the light is a nightmare. Makes no sense
Glad to help
Thanks for the heads-up. Saved me a lot time and guessing.
Glad this video helped
Thanks. Saved me a lot of headaches.
Glad to help
This video came in handy for me tonight. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful
You’re a lifesaver…would have gotten frustrated and broken stuff trying to get the light out

I need to take the light above that off but it’s stuck like glue 😭 replacing the whole assembly because I backed into a mailbox and shattered the case
thank you this helped me very much liked and subscribed
Glad I was able to help
This video was a great help thank you
Glad it helped thanks for watching
Thank you! I appreciate it, I have to do mine this weekend and I wanted to make sure I did it correctly
How did it go?
Just finished with one of these jobs. Adding even more difficulty, the assembly isn’t just tighten down the nuts and it is done; you will need to adjust those nuts to make sure the fit is correct. We tightened down the assembly just to have a gap you could almost put your finger through at the top.
Thanks very help ful
Thanks! I'm about to try this, too. Glad I looked it up!
Let me know how it goes for you. Thanks for watching
@@dowhatyougottado4283 I had to borrow the deep socket wrench, but overall, went fine! You weren't kidding about the stupid design! I was praying to all the gods not to let me drop that stupid nut down the frame! Lol
But what about the small reverse light underneath the brake light?
What tool did you use to loosen up that get that bolt off?
Thank you. This is the first car I've had that makes front and rear light changes overly difficult. The front requires removing the grill *eye roll*
Don't have to remove the grill, but it's easier that way. And it's only 4 clips just to take it off.
You're awesome
Welp I’m a idiot I took out the backup light cuz my blinker quick working and it didn’t seem to work god I have stupid written all over my face!!!! Thank you for the video!!!!
have a 2010 focus SE, 12mm deep socket was too big for the nuts, i had to use an 11mm deep socket instead, thank god i did this outside of an auto parts store
Thank you!!
A+ Thank you!
Glad to help
Thank you it does I'll put my in 2morrow 😊
this was perfect. Thanks!
Thanks, this helped me.
Great job thanks very much ...helpful 👍😀
To the point and perfect! Even a girl can do it 🙋🏼♀️ as long as you have deep socket wrench set👍🏻
Glad you found the video helpful
People who design cars should be forced to work on them in poorly lit unheated garages with only basic hand tools
Thanks dude
Thank youuuu
You are welcome
Just finished replacing the taillight bulb on the drivers side and check this out, one bolt to the right was an 11mm the one to the left was a 10mm. Good grief. You'd think they'd make it easy but NOOOOOOOO!!!
Thanks for watching my video. I hope it helped
@@dowhatyougottado4283 It did! Thank you very much.
That didn't help for shit how the hell do you get the nut that is recessed do you need an extra deep socket? Ive never seen a socket that deep. Thats the hardest part of this whole job!
*mic drop*
He said at the start. Need a 12mm deep well socket
Harbor Freight FTW.
What tools do I need to get the metal nuts off especially that bolt nut stuck in the hole.
12mm deep socket
The brake light and blinker light are two separate bulbs right? Do you know the part number for each one?
No sorry, I don't remember the part numbers. Thank you for watching the video I hope it was helpful
It's a single dual-filament bulb. Sylvania 3057 and many different equivalents.
Clear as mud !!
I need an 11mm deep socket on my 2010!
Well if you lived across the street from me I would let you borrow mine. LOL
I hate using the 12mm deep socket
I was watching the video to see how you take the other screw out and that's the party you skip 🤔🤦😶🌫️
I used the deep 12mm socket to reach in the hole over the stud and remove the nut.
Sorry I thought I covered that.
How do I get to the bolt in the hole?
a deep socket and extension
Can’t even get the panel off
I just said fuck it and gave up
the design sucks
Thank you!!
Glad to help Have a Great New Year
