Where is the headlight fuse located in a Focus?

The headlight fuse in a Focus is located in the engine compartment fuse box. Car headlights, also known as car front lights or LED daytime running lights, serve as the 'eyes' of the vehicle. They not only affect the owner's external image but are also crucial for safe driving at night or in adverse weather conditions. The Focus is a popular compact sedan under the Ford brand, equipped with two engine options: the 1.5L EcoBoost and the 1.5L TiVCT. All models meet the China VI emission standards. In terms of dimensions, the Focus measures 4378mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1468mm in height.
I remember when I was driving my Focus, the headlight fuse was located in the fuse box under the hood. Open the engine compartment and look towards the front left side or near the windshield, you'll find a black plastic box secured with clips. After prying open the cover, you'll see various colored fuses inside, and the one for the headlights is usually labeled 'HEADLAMP LOW BEAM' or something similar. Last time my headlights weren't working, I checked and found the fuse was blown, rated at about 15A. Remember to turn off the engine and remove the key before replacing it to prevent short circuits. The process is simple: use needle-nose pliers or your fingers to remove the blown fuse and insert a new one of the same type. If you can't find the exact location, I recommend checking the owner's manual. It's usually stored in the glove compartment under the dashboard. Regularly checking the condition of your fuses can prevent nighttime driving risks, especially since they're prone to oxidation in humid weather. After replacing, test to see if the lights work to ensure safer driving. Routine maintenance is also a good time to clean dust off to keep the contacts clean.
