This video shows you how to change the tail light / brake bulb on a UK edition 2012 Ford Fiesta Titanium 1.6 TDCi and you can use the same process to change the indicator or reversing light bulb. This is a tricky bulb to change if you don't know how to do it so hopefully this will help some of you! Obviously might be a different process for older / newer models or variants in different countries. If you're stuck in a motorway services trying to sort this nightmare you probably don't care about that. A big apology to my regular subscribers - I'll be back to woodworking on the next vid!

My deepest gratitude to you!! Boyfriend is away and I decided to attempt this myself, which thanks to your calm and methodical instructions, I did. Does this make me a qualified mechanic, cos I sure as hell feel like one right now!! 😂 seriously, big thanks, you’ve made my day

4:43 "very carefully open the bulb packet"....... omg xD

Thank you so much for posting this, there's no way you could work out what to do from the Ford Users' Handbook. Your video was so clear and concise that I had the bulb changed and working again inside 10 minutes. One point to mention though, the bulb only fits into the holder one way round as the 'lugs' on either side are offset (i.e. not aligned with other). I didn't spot this at first and was convinced that my Tesco Universal Bulb Replacement kit wasn't universal! Only when I then compared the new Tesco bulb with the old Ford one did I spot the offset lugs, and thus realised it only went in one way round. Thanks again!

Legend, felt really accomplished doing this for the first time just now. Saves £20+ in service charges and it's so easy! Cheers!

@johnop_story 3 месяца назад

6 years on - thanks Andy - I would most certainly have broken something expensive without your video.

@Minisy77 Год назад

Literally spat my coffee out when you opened the bulb packet 🤣🤣🤣

@peterbuckton5760 3 года назад

Not only very clear and helpful but also calm and humorous, which I greatly appreciated.

@Reid-Rob 4 года назад

Thank you so much for this, I've just bought my daughter a 2009 model and the brake light was blown, I started fiddling around then You-Tubed it and found your extremely well explained video, well done!

@kevinjackson4237 2 года назад

Super helpful post, thank you so much. Did my Daughters 09 Fiesta in a few mins after watching your video. (Sadly I didn`t have a blow torch to open the bulb shrink wrap, however 5 mins with my chainsaw & we were hot to trot!) Cheers.

@freeserve1942 2 года назад

As you say there’s no need to take the bottom carpet out but as you did I noticed that you have a spare wheel on a 2012 Fiesta. I have a 2011 Titanium with none. I have an electric pump and can of sealant supplied. As for replacing the light cluster, it helps to clean the rubber gasket and smear a little Vaseline on it’s sealing edge and the two plastic plugs. I thank all you folks who take the time and effort to make these videos they are much better than manuals.

@christenturin9309 3 года назад

I didn’t had a clue how to remove the cluster. Your instructions really helped! Thank you for posting 👍🏽

@charlottemaccormack7532 3 года назад

I've just changed the brake light bulb on a UK 62 plate Fiesta. There are the two screws on the outside, one inside at the back of the light and if you reach inside behind the casing near the bulb, there is a long plastic thread with a wing nut that you unscrew by hand. It took me a while to find this plastic screw after much wrenching at the casing thinking there must be something else holding this. It came off easily then. But thanks for the video. Very helpful.

@phatty19652008 2 года назад

Excellent tutorial, I would never have spotted the hidden thumbscrew behind the light fitting. Thanks to your video the bulb was changed in just a few minutes.

@stevesavory4362 Год назад

What a fantastic video. I wouldn't have dreamed of trying this myself but your clear (and funny) instructions made it very doable. Thanks a million.

@jaycarrUK 3 года назад

I can't believe I needed a RU-vid video to change a damn bulb. Like you said it's over complicated, but thanks for the help.

@rebeccareeveskemp 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for posting this after reading the manual and scratching my head you saved me a tantrum! Only took me 10 mins start to finish 👍🏻

@GosforthHandyman 5 лет назад

Glad you got sorted!! 👍👊

@andyruston866 2 года назад

thank you so much, struggling to get cluster off for about 30 minutes in freezing cold, saw this vid and sorted it in 5 minutes, brilliant.

@neilb3112 Месяц назад

Thanks for a great video. Super useful and straightforward. Bulb replaced.

@GarethClarkFilm 2 года назад

Cheers pal, very useful. Crazy design!

@barnsleyjack8048 4 года назад

Mate I really appreciate this, back left light gone and never would have been able to do it without this video. If you think this is bad, I had a ford Ka 08 before my fiesta and had to take the whole front wing of the car off to change the headlight

@johnburgoyne3648 4 года назад

Thanks for a most helpful video! Really helped showing how to release the light cluster from the inside, the rest was simple. Appreciate getting that critical step form you! 👍🏻👊🏻

@savingtheface 3 года назад

Good video. Used this twice now as I had forgotten how to do it. Glad it was still at the top of the search results when I searched this morning.

@shamarfan4120 Год назад

- “Very carefully open the bulb packet” - Proceeds to set it on fire 🤣

@hdb008 10 месяцев назад

Hiya, Thanks for posting this. There is no way I could have worked out how to change a 'simple bulb' without watching this. The manufacturers at Ford need shooting for designing their rear light fittings in this way!

@rosienguyen5647 3 года назад

I am sooooo happy! I followed your video step by step and changed my one damaged cluster and the other lights! Thankyou for sharing your content! It really is helpful!

@JoJowxyz 3 года назад

thanks, the manual that comes with the car is very sketchy! This made life a lot easier.

@duncangrocock 2 года назад

Thank you so much for this. Saved me a lot of time and hassle.

@Patrickthe1st 2 года назад

thanks for the guide, i had a nightmare with the inside screw, you got to love people who overtighten things...

@JimmbobJimbob 3 года назад

Fantastic, informative video, made changing the bulb simple and easy!

@paulthompson2226 4 года назад

I've just had to do this and would never have managed without this video, thanks.

@PLWareham 2 года назад

Great video. Thanks for posting. Managed to change both tailight bulbs in under 30 mins on my Son's Fiesta with help from this.

@tomhilbourne6309 2 года назад

This made a task which I was told was bad supremely easy. I would have had no idea without this video.

@adrianmatthews4953 2 месяца назад

Brilliant video. Followed your steps to sort daughter's rear indicator bulb replacement. A real godsend video, many thanks.

@vinnythevid 5 лет назад

Classic. At least it’s not as bad as changing the offside daytime running light bulb on a 2010 Fiat Punto Evo, which actually requires you to break all of your fingers and de-glove your right hand. The people who design this stuff must all be descendants of the Marquis de Sade.

@ShieldAgent75 6 месяцев назад

Thanks so much! After watching a handful of other videos, yours was the only one showing the stupid screw things behind the carpet, locking the lights in! Definitely saved me from breaking something, if I'd tried to pull them any harder!

@squoblat 2 года назад

This 8 minute video allowed me to do the job in 4 minutes. Thanks man.

@peterwilkinson3694 4 года назад

A great video so easy to follow for a fiddly job. Gave me the confidence to do this, and great humour had me in fits of laughter 😀😀

@richbatty1588 4 года назад

Really easy to do if you follow this video. Took me 20 mins to do and the bulb only cost £1. Really helpful

@cornishminer69 8 месяцев назад

Fantastic guidance, seemed daunted by this but 15 minutes later it was sorted, saved myself £20 at halfords, subscribed :)

@bofett74 4 года назад

Good stuff. My wife just informed me of the brake light, and now I'm feeling confident in my skills. Thanks.

@carlreddevil7135 2 года назад

Thanks so much for the excellent coverage of the whole video. Very informative and it helped me big time.

@X3MgamePlays Год назад

Ah yes, Light on the right? Push bulb and turn counter clockwise. This video helped me a lot better than the instruction manual. I only needed 10 minutes for my first time. Next time will go so much faster. (no pun intended)

@kezpayne3881 3 года назад

Can’t believe I paid Halfords to do it before when it’s that simple the way you explain it, cheers 😂 gonna save me some money in the future

@ADR_Warrior 4 года назад

@rjadamen 5 лет назад

Thanks so much for the video! Saved me a lot of swearing I'm sure! As often, it's not that difficult if you know how to do it! Thanks again!

@fospa 3 года назад

Extremely helpful thanks. Especially to know about the plastic bolt inside..👍

@johnmule9656 2 года назад

Thanks so much for this!!! Did this on my wife's car.... originally I'd taken the torx screws out- had a wiggle about, could see the two retaining grommets and was flummoxed why it wasn't simply coming away.... the thumb screw behind the plastic/carpet really is overkill....😟

@The2441cb 2 года назад

Extremely helpful video, as always👍👍

@nettle_g8611 2 года назад

Used the video and changed lamp in 5 minutes. Brilliant, thanks

@abduliqbal9040 4 года назад

Amazing thank you. I used a flat screwdriver instead of the tork worked a treat

@johnstephenson3568 20 дней назад

Very useful. Also works for the face-lifted version, 2013 to 2019, but the bulbs are separately fitted, not on a multiple bulb clip Twist the bulb holder anti-clockwise to unlock, and pull it out, swap the bulb, then lock it back into the cluster with a clockwise twist.

@brendanmcgrath6203 11 месяцев назад

Great guide. I was able to do the job in about seven minutes following your instructions- well, seven minutes plus shopping time for two different types of screws interfaces.

@chickedee1085 Год назад

Thanks saves me being ripped of at the garage. I’ll just need a blow torch to open the bulb packaging.

@kayserbondor 3 года назад

If you ever get a water leak into the boot, its the rubber seal round the light bulb fixing, I fixed mine by running clear sealant round the rubber..

@timop1015 3 года назад

This saved my a lot of frustration just now, thank you!

@iangriffiths3284 4 года назад

Really useful ... would've been scratching my head for a while without this!

@robinmaris7271 Год назад

Thank you! Clear instructions without the nonsens.

@ronaldkleijn9618 2 года назад

The flame thrower is my favourite part :)

@muskokadave3508 3 года назад

omg I laughed so hard, thank you! If not for the dedication and time of people like you I would have FUBAR'd this light changeout for sure.

@WebDevTim 6 лет назад

New bulbs in, thanks for making the video!

@GosforthHandyman 6 лет назад

No worries! 👍

@johnduffy7502 3 года назад

Thanks mate! Although I have done this before (and believe it or not the second bulb of the two-pack was in the glove box to prove it) I have absolutely no recollection of doing the job. A video reminder is always good to have...

@anne-mariemetcalfe6490 4 года назад

Thank you for nice,easy to the point video.☺ very helpful.

@paulwilliams2554 Год назад

Thanks for posting this video. Very helpful. I replaced brake bulb in about 15 minutes on daughters 2014 Fiesta. Her boyfriend couldn’t do it apparently!!

@iainwolstencroft3764 2 года назад

What a blooming palaver! Thanks for the video though, saved my neighbours listening to me swearing like a trooper

@davidcalvert6087 6 лет назад

Thanks for that- I'm wishing that I had paid Halfords to do it now!

@rs8610 3 года назад

Me too I thought it would be easier what a pain!!

@stevetench8984 5 лет назад

Just tried to do this using the manual .... I can see why you binned it. Thanks for the video ... should be much easier now. Love the humour too. Nice one.

@Trooper_No.2102 5 лет назад

I may be a bit late to the game, but I totally agree with you! Manufacturers don't like it when your able to cheaply and reliably fix your own car ;), the dealership I typically go to wanted to charge me almost $400.00!!!!! Hurrah for DIY fixes!!!
