Default MD Mondeo headlight globes/ remove & replace

G'day guys,

Would anyone know any tips or tricks to changing the headlight globes on my my17.5 ambiente wagon, apparently the front bumper has to come off to complete this task.

Wondering if there may be a trick to it without having to remove it.

Cheers in advance

You only have to remove the top clips along the radiator support, lower side bottom clips and the side bumper to wheel arch trim clips to allow the bumper to be moved back about 10cm, no need to totally remove bar.

Did the job, easy as! Front bar definitely doesn't have to come off, if I had to do it again tomorrow would take me 15 mins easy. Thanks for the tip gtlegend.

Hi,
I have a Mondeo MC and you the two blots out from the Headlight Bracket then just wiggle the headlight till it comes out.
It takes a while but it doe's work.
