The Ford Escort is a mid-size sedan with dimensions of 4587mm in length, 1825mm in width, and 1490mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2687mm.

Removing the Ford Escort's headlight isn't too difficult, but it needs to be done step by step. I remember when I last changed the bulb myself, I first parked on a flat surface, turned off the engine and waited for it to cool to avoid burning my hands. Open the hood, locate the headlight assembly, usually there are several fixing screws on the edges that can be unscrewed with a regular Phillips screwdriver. Don't forget to gently pull out the electrical connector, it has a clip design so don't yank it hard or it might break. Then slowly pull out the entire headlight for inspection and cleaning, the whole process takes about 15 minutes but don't rush. If the screws are rusted, just spray some lubricant to loosen them. If you don't have the right tools, you can borrow from an auto parts store or buy a cheap and practical simple tool kit online.
