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.

battery side is a pain. best to undo battery clamp move the battery out of the way.
and the plugs them selfs, you gotta squeeze both sides and pull . still a pain in the ass . lol

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
