07 Fiesta Headlights

Why do they make it so difficult to Change the bulbs in a headlight. you needs security screws to be removed the front grill to remove then the whole light assemblly before unscrewing a cap to put in a new bulb. the back ones are abour the same. thats just crap!

It's not that bad, only a few torx screws. I takes under 2mins to get both lights if need be. IF you've got a torx set of course ;-)

Its not so bad. Torx sets are cheap and torx fasteners are used on so many cars now you may as well grab a set.

At least you don't have to take the headlight out to check the power steering fluid like in our LS Focus ;)

Yeah, they could of made it a little easyer. Since we are on the head light topic. I have been trying to find the manual adjustment for the head lights but i cant find it. The adjuster in the car doesnt tilt the headlights up enough. At night I have almost hit some debris on the road because the lights are not tilted up enough. can any one help me out with this one
Thanx

The adjuster should be on the same panel as your headlight switch. Have it set to 0 for the greatest distance.

There are two of them per head light and they are cream coloured. There is one for the left/right adjustment and the other is for the up/down. They are located on the lower leading edge and rear upper of each unit and are fairly accessible.

Just need to get an 8mm (or 10mm cant remember) allen key to turn them, though you can almost just use your fingers.

Turn the headlights on to make it easier to tell how your doing and if you get stuck let me know and I'll try take a pic of the adjusters.

Thanks for you help every body. I found them, I should of looked a bit harder, they were looking straight at me. No more hitting things on the road and also it makes it handy to get those annoying people that have there head lights tilted to high with the tilt adjusment in the FEZ.
