How to Install Fog Lights on a Focus?
2 Answers
Ford Focus fog light removal and installation steps are as follows: 1. Take out a flathead screwdriver. First use the screwdriver to pry from the reverse side of the fog light grille to release the clips inside. This will create a larger gap on the front side. Then use the screwdriver to gradually pry open the clips securing the grille to the front bumper from the front gap. After all clips are released, the fog light grille can be removed. Be careful to pry slowly and gently to avoid breaking the plastic clips. 2. You'll see the fog lights fixed to the front bumper. Observation will reveal they're secured by two screws. Take out a Torx wrench and use it to remove these two screws. Keep the removed screws properly for reinstallation. 3. After removing the screws, the fog light's two tabs are inserted into the bumper's clip holes. Hold the side where screws were removed and gently pull upward to detach the fog light. 4. For installation, simply follow the removal steps in reverse order.
The process of installing fog lights on a Focus is actually quite simple. I just installed a set on my Focus MK3 last month, and it took me an afternoon to complete. You'll need a set of Focus-specific fog lights, a screwdriver, pliers, and a wiring harness, which are not expensive and can be purchased online. First, park the car securely and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery for safety. Then, remove the lower lining of the front bumper and locate the mounting holes. Align the fog light brackets and secure them with screws. Next, wiring is crucial: connect the positive terminal of the fog lights to the power point in the vehicle's fuse box and ground the negative terminal to the car body to avoid poor contact or short circuits. After wiring, turn on the switch to test the brightness of the lights and ensure the sealing strip is tightly fitted to prevent water leakage. With careful attention, you can complete the whole process yourself, saving a lot of money. However, it might be a bit chaotic the first time, so referring to online tutorials can make it easier.
