Changing BA headlight globes

Postby pHaT`eL » July 29th, 2009, 6:28 pm

Beths dads BA has a globe out. How the fk do you change them? The owners manual is near on useless. Anyone working at Ford got a trick to it? I have small hands, and even I cant get to it.

yeh as above they're a pain in the arse...
remove the plugs, then remove the dust caps, then you have to push the wire clip in and down or up to release dependant on inner or outer beam

globes are H4 or H7
