Driving with a brake light out can be dangerous and result in a fine. Replacing the brake light bulb on your 2015 Ford Focus is a simple process that can be done at home with a few basic tools. This guide will walk you through the steps to replace the brake light bulb on your 2015 Ford Focus.
Gather your tools and materials
Before you begin, make sure you have the following tools and materials:
- Replacement brake light bulb (check your owner’s manual for the correct bulb size)
- Screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, depending on your car’s model)
- Latex gloves (optional)
Locate the brake light assembly
The brake light assembly is located in the back of your Ford Focus, on either side of the car. It is typically a red lens that covers the brake light bulb. To access the brake light bulb, you will need to remove the assembly cover.
Remove the assembly cover
To remove the cover, use a screwdriver to remove the screws holding the cover in place. Gently pull the cover away from the car to remove it. Set the cover aside in a safe place.
Remove the old brake light bulb
Once the cover is removed, you will see the brake light bulb. To remove the bulb, gently twist it counterclockwise and pull it out of the socket. You may want to wear latex gloves to protect your hands from any broken glass.
Insert the new brake light bulb
Take the new brake light bulb and insert it into the socket. Gently twist it clockwise until it clicks into place.
Replace the assembly cover
Once the new brake light bulb is installed, replace the assembly cover. Line up the cover with the assembly and use a screwdriver to replace the screws that hold it in place.
Test the brake light
Turn on your car and test the brake light to make sure it is working properly. If the light does not turn on, double-check that the new bulb is securely in place and the assembly cover is properly installed.
