2016 Ford Fiesta S High Beam Replacement

はじめに

In 2019, Ford announced that it would stop production of the Ford Fiesta model line. However, the Ford Fiesta model is still popular in the UK and was ranked as the bestselling new and used car of 2019. Also, the average labor for fixing headlights is estimated between $50 and $63 dollars while parts are only priced at $19 dollars. This means that fixing the bulbs at home will be cheaper than going to the mechanic to get them fixed. Our goal is not only to save you money but to create a guide to help fix your 2016 Ford Fiesta S in confidence without replacing your car to prevent waste.

Please make sure that you do not open your hood when there are high winds. Verify that the handbrake is on and the ignition is off and wait 10 minutes for the engine to cool before opening the hood.
