I have a blown dipped headlight bulb on my V reg Zetec and I have heard that to replace it I need to remove the front grill and headlight assembly. Is this true?

And does anyone know what type of bulb I will need before getting the tools out?

Thanks

unless you have tiny hands youll have to remove the headlight, its only 3 boltsand hey presto.the bulb you require for a dipped main beam is an h7,also have you considered upgrading your bulbs,osram silverstar and phillips vision plus claim to through 20% more light on the road and are definately much brighter.

Thanks for that mate. Where abouts are the bolts I need to remove? I must get a Haynes manual!

I've changed headlight globes twice and I'm sure it shows what to remove in the owners manual.
2 screws for grille out, then 2 or 3 for headlight assy. It is very simple and the screws are quite obvious when you have the grille out of the way.

Just checked and the full instructions of how to change the headlamps including removing the grille and headlamp unit are in there!
