Ford Fiesta Encore 1997 HEADLIGHTS?

there are two metal clips behind the headlight unit, they are long and attach to the top and bottom, and clip into two grooves. With a bit of working they should come out of their little grooves. They don't come off entirely but they come out.
The back of the unit should come off easily.
However, if it's the left side you are wanting to change, then you may have to remove the top of the air filter box, and move the air intake around a little to get to where you want to be.
Hope this helps,
Jay

Hi Joe, to remove the headlight unit you have to remove three screws, first pull the centre grill panel up it will then come away, this will give access to two of the screws on the headlight, the other is by the joint to the wing, with these removed, pull the headlight towards the centre of the car and forwards, when the peg on the headlight is free of the wing it can be removed then disconnect the connector, refitting is the reverse If you would like a copy of the procedure from the manual contact me on nige110162@hotmail.co.uk and I'll mail you a copy
