Ford Fusion Headlight Bulbs Replacement Guide
How to change a low beam, high beam or front turn signal light bulb in a 2nd generation 2013-2016 Ford Fusion.

2014 Ford Fusion Headlight
Pry Out Center of Fastener
Remove Entire Fastener This automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist owners of the second generation (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and maybe also the updated 2017 model year) Ford Fusion sedan in changing a burnt out low beam, high beam or front turn signal light bulb in the headlight housings.

Owners of other Ford or Lincoln vehicles such as the Focus, Fiesta, C-Max, Mustang, Escape, Transit Connect, Edge, Flex, Explorer, Expedition, Taurus, F-150, EcoSport, MKC, MKZ, MKS, MKX, MKT and the Navigator may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

The replacement bulb part numbers are as follows: Low Beam # H11, High Beam # H7 and Front Turn Signal # PWY24W.

The tools needed to complete this procedure include a flathead screwdriver, a pair of needle nose pliers, Torx T30 & Torx T25 screwdrivers, a 7mm socket and a 1/4" drive ratcheting wrench.

Pry Up Center of Fastener
Pry Up Other Fasteners
Remove With Pliers The first two steps are to open the hood and then move to the side of the vehicle with the burnt out headlight bulb.

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to change the bulbs in the driver side headlight housing. The procedure is the same for the passenger side.

Locate the pop rivet fasteners that secure the black plastic radiator cover trim panel to the front bumper fascia and the front of the engine bay.

Lift up the center part of each pop rivet first with the flathead screwdriver before prying out the base of the fastener.

You really only have to remove the four pop rivets at the front edge of the radiator cover.

I made the mistake of removing all 8 pop rivets and then I pulled off the entire radiator cover.

Pull Off Radiator Cover
9 Pop Rivets Removed
Pry Up Bumper Cover Fastener If you removed the radiator cover, set it aside in a safe place.

Pry out the larger pop rivet fastener on the bumper cover fascia right next to the inner corner of the headlight housing.

Loosen the thumb screws by turning them counterclockwise a few turns.
