Einleitung

If your Side-marker bulb has gone out in your Ford Focus (2012-2018), use this guide to replace the bulb and get back on the road safely.

Side marker lights are auxiliary safety lights that clearly show other drivers your vehicle's location and direction of travel from a variety of angles. Without this bulb there is an additional risk while driving that other's on the road will not be alerted to your presence during the night or other obscure environments.

Step 7-8 requires you to handle the glass bulb. It is important to remember proper handling of glass during these steps.

Before beginning, make sure to turn off your car completely.
