Ford Fusion Headlight Replacement 

Lol ikr

Fkn ford 😡

Hahahahaha Ford trying to become a Bmw

That’s coming very soon. What a joke really to change bulbs

im late but, thats a whole fact 😆😂🤣

Lol yes!!!

battery is easy, the only extra step is you have to slide it....

Finally a usefull comment, I searched the entire internet what way to twist the bulb, even this video hides it

Facts lmao you don’t have to take the bumper off at all

Honestly tho, it takes a whooping 9 mins to pull the cover. Not really all that time consuming. 🤷‍♂️

You really don't need a jack, just the front 2 body plugs and about 6 sheet metal screws for under the front side of the car. It works I just did it, now the rest is nuts, 4 top bolts and radiator cover plugs. Wish it went in the spring, fall or summer.

Some bases have DIY garages for a fee. You even could sign out the tools. This is probably a mute point now but I guess just fyi now.

Have fun getting LEDs bulb in the high beams, I pulled it off but required some effort and my LEDs were pretty low profile on the fan.

U saved me alot of time. I ebayed h7s. Thanks !

@Raymond Ramirez - many thanks for that info!

Thank you!

Is it the same regardless of what year fusion it is?

Ford knows you'll have to go back to the dealer so they can soak you.

I couldn't agree with you more... I was told I can't even change out my tail lights to have that borderlight o.

mrN3w7 it's not just Ford doing this. GM has been doing it for at least a decade now as well as many others. It makes me sick.

You are wrong about that. Ford want to make things easier for customers.

And removing a whole bumper to replace a headlight is making it easy

Well now they are cancelling production of the fusion and focus. Hyundai, Honda, and Toyota win!

@Ungrateful Peasant - I agree. It's a pretty decent car but the headlights are the worst- by far- I've ever had in a new car. Total Magoo units.

Facts

Agree headlights are trash and I have the brighter bulbs

Eric's small tractor restoration because FORD. They're morons.

Because they want you to take it to a Ford garage to be charged $100 or $200 in labor just to change a light.

Because most of these designs are done in third-party engineering firms that have no idea what they are doing.

Just to make sure you have to visit the dealership and give them more money

exactly!! its ridiculous to design something this way. Its like they are intentionally making repairs more difficult, even for a mechanic. It should take 5 minutes to replace a headlight bulb

It's called a floor jack...

JxC its called unnecessary

you can use a small socket to reach under the bumper... No lifting necessary

If you bought this vehicle, then deal with the repairs by going to a mechanic. ✌️

I’m an educated man but I can not speak to the habits of your garage. If you are busy week in week out and have repeat customers then my best guess is its probably not your work but no matter what the charge is an extremely high percentage of customers are going to negotiate for little penny while asking for more work. But that is old news so no need for any “research”. The problem with this video has nothing to do with the mechanic, his abilities or the way he walks us through the whole process. Here’s why the industry in which every Tom Dick and Harry must navigate at some point in life becomes a major expense AFTER shelling out tens of thousands of dollars! Even those who have done the Research! The facts are as follows: manufacturers (not just car companies)will cut corners, obviously hire the most ignorant engineers, use cheap labor overseas Mexico (definitely this one) costing us jobs in towns left to rot. Then after they have received all of the tax breaks they can scrounge up from tax attorneys and lobbyists, where they’ll have no problem paying them from the money saved by their piss poor engineers. They could care less about quality, safety, and the environment because no matter how wreck less they run the company….WE TAXPAYERS will always BAIL THEM OUT, thanks to BOTH PARTIES in Congress who have NO PROBLEM writing RUBBER CHECKS! This video is one man who has worked hard to educate himself so he can share with others the process of changing a BULB! He didn’t create the problem and the company obviously doesn’t care about the problem they created because they did it for multiple years. The fact that you are able to tell everyone they should spend more time “researching” before they buy from this POS or that POS COMPANY while you piss and moan about how much the people questioning the shop working on their investment is disappointing! Maybe you should watch this video again and see if you have a clue about how much CAPITAL a single mother of two kids is able to afford to pay someone to change her light bulb!

This comment just saved me!

Video is highly informative, I think the dislikes are just the fact of disliking having to remove all that just to change bulbs. Lol

I think a little more than 2 hours.

They are Ford owners..LOL

Exactly! F… Ford engineers on this one!

wtf Ford!

@@stingerutube had a Malibu that required the same to change the headlight smh GM

You don't need to go through all that just to change the lights on a Fusion. We've owned several Fusions, headlight bulb change is very simple. All you need to do is remove the dust caps on the headlight housing to gain access.. If you want to install HIDs you may need to do all that., as the HID bulbs lack the right angle base that will allow for more leverage when locking in.

For Ford. They should be boycotted for this bs.

oobleckboy yes it is all over RU-vid on how easy the bulb change is. This is crazy.

Did you need to detach the hoses?

4 mins?! Dude dealership and pep boys say 3-5 hours. Lol where do u live I’ll give $60 to change it!

@@dwightgentry9926 I’ve looked on RU-vid all vids are complicated.

without*

how did you do it?

AriesTatiGrrrl are you serious? this is what I am trying to do now. putting in high power silver star bulbs. So you really don't have to take the bumper off? anymore help would be fantastic. Thank you.

Grant D there is a good chance you could break the bulb doing that. and stay away from those silverstar bulbs or you will be replacing them again in about a year. go on eBay and buy some LED headlights. brighter than silverstar and you won't ever have to replace them again.

Wu Tang is it just the bulb or whole headlight?

It's more like a criminal design to make money.

You didnt have to remove anything lol. This is like the only video that shows that. Just open hood, pop out the silicone cover behind the housing giving you access to bulb, reach in and twist socket 90 degrees and the bulb slides out. Reverse process to install new bulb thats it. Takes all of 2 mins haha. People removing the bumper and headlight housing must have hulk hands to not be able to do with just the hood open.

That was specially for the low beam so maybe that's why less work required. This is a ridiculous amount of work for headlight replacement.

Did you ever figure this out? Mine says ajar too

@@Ryan-qe9ih yes, i checked under on the driver side there is a wire that was disconected, you have to loose the driver side to be able to see and grab the wire to reconnect

same way. counter clock out( left loose), clock in(right tight).

+Heriberto Santos Great question! Why don't you give our tech support line a call and we can provide some more information on that. The number can be found at fmgaragegurus.com/About.aspx

That is an easy job. Look at the top of page 258 of the Owner Manual. The lamp uses a clip to attach to the trunk lid. Then pull the bulb out. No tools needed!

+srt4jediify sure is. Both cars suck to replace.

My low beam went bad at 27k miles. Be smart when you take the bumper off change ALL bulbs there.

@@michaelnelson2951 I have 46000 mi, and more than one lamp has not burned out
