2 Answers
Method for replacing the fog light bulb on a Ford Escort: Open the trunk, remove the trunk interior trim, rotate the bulb socket counterclockwise, then remove the socket. Gently press the bulb inside the socket and rotate it counterclockwise to remove it. The Ford Escort fog light bulb model is H11, a halogen bulb with a power of 55 watts. The rear fog light bulb model is P21W, a halogen bulb with a power of 21 watts. The Ford Escort features swallow-shaped headlights with newly designed LED daytime running lights paired with sharp-looking xenon headlights, offering a stylish and sophisticated appearance while effectively improving vehicle recognition and ensuring driving safety. The Ford Escort is equipped with multi-directional airbag protection, including front dual airbags and side airbags, as well as side curtain airbags for comprehensive protection.
Changing the Fiesta's fog light bulb is actually quite simple, but preparation is key. When I did it last time, I first parked the car on level ground and turned off the engine, then opened the hood to gather tools—a Phillips screwdriver and a pair of pliers are needed. The fog lights are tucked under the bumper; crouching down, you can spot the rubber dust cover behind the lamp housing. Opening the cover gives access to the bulb socket, which unscrews with a half-turn counterclockwise. When installing the new bulb, avoid touching the glass part with bare hands—skin oils can cause localized overheating and burst the bulb, so wearing gloves is safest. Avoid yanking the wires during the process. After finishing, I found poor contact during testing, but reseating the connector fixed it. Doing this yourself saves about 200 yuan in labor costs, but avoid working in the rain to prevent short circuits.
