Thank you. I love the way you get straight to the point and you are very detailed on how to get the lighthousing out of the vehicle when compared to other videos I've watched. Great job
Thank you for the video! I was able to do this myself and it was soooo easy!! One helpful tip , if you just tug on the rubber around the assembly it pops right off
Wow THANKS!!! I thought (now 2024) that I’d have to go to a garage or a dealership for my 2013. Hey yours is looking good and next to a Lincoln way to go!!!
I found a trick for getting the assembly out of the clip in another video. Layer a bunch of long strips of tape along the housing and trailing off behind the car, long enough that you can fold the end over and make a handle. Then you can pull back and a little towards the middle of the car on the tape, instead of having to hit it and/or break your fingernails trying to pull on the assembly.
Just to note, though, an appropriate set of panel pullers will cost about $4 on the rainforest website, so just get some. They are one of those tools that if you use it once you’ve gotten your money’s worth.
This video instruction does not work for 2017 Ford Escape with Ford Escape Kuga 2017 Brake Rear Lamps. The multiple LED brake lamps are built into the plastic part in some models so the entire assembly needs replacement because there is not brake light bulb just built in non replaceable LEDs. You can get a knock off part for about $130. Or $260 to replace both sides.
"Like" / "5 stars" / "Two thumbs way up". I was ready to give up until you described the stupid housing connection and your personal difficulty. Agreed with other comments, all other videos glossed over this, the most difficult part of the job.
@@EnthusiastCarHangar I recommend not banging on the cover anymore if it doesn’t come loose. Use the proper tools if it doesn’t go easy. With help, I got the cover removed. It required four hands, two panel pullers and a lot of effort. The puller kit I bought at O’Reilly’s for 15 something.
OK, the bulb was changed, and it did light up in the video. HOWEVER, I would highly recommend...... Use the correct tool to remove the plastic screw covers. Always use dielectric compounds when assembling new bulbs in used sockets. Always, always, always test your work before reassembling, especially new bulbs in used sockets. Bro, you got lucky on this one. Do not ever rely on luck when you do something for another person. Just sayin yo!
While I agree with you I have to say most people do not have any correct tools at home to remove the plastic covers. The bulbs got tested before reassembly but not every detail is in the video. Just giving a basic idea on how to replace them since it’s important if you ever have to. Thanks for your input.

Thank you for your nice words. I appreciate it.

You are welcome.
Thank you! So glad I found this video and comment! Spent $12 for fuses and replacement bulbs instead of paying anyone to do it for me.
Omg didn’t even have to watch the vid, this is the comment I needed!!!
Wow THANKS!!! I thought (now 2024) that I’d have to go to a garage or a dealership for my 2013. Hey yours is looking good and next to a Lincoln way to go!!!
Thanks I am glad the video helped you.
Tks for the video. Had hard time getting the light out but after your comments about hitting and pushing i kept trying
You are welcome. I have a few other Escape videos in my how to playlist. Thank you for watching!
Mahalo, all instructions work great, that pop pin is a pain, but doable 🤙🏽

From what I know we never got the led tail lights that the Kuga had here in the US. Thanks for the observation.
@@EnthusiastCarHangar Sure we did because I am in the process of replacing them now for my Ford 2017 Escape.
@keithgkirk my 2017 escape has a regular lens with bulbs
@@RUclipsrMe68 Don't know what to say. We bought ours in California and it has the Kuga lights and that is significantly more costly. AARGH!
@@keithgkirk and California sucks. I won't make it political 🤭

I’m still getting a faulty bulb light after replacing?
On the dash
Are all the bulbs working? Did you put an led bulb in? If not it may be an electrical fault.
Very helpful! Thank you!
You're welcome!
Does anyone know what size the screws are?????
Great video thank you
The more I bang on the cover with my hand, exactly as you showed, the more pieces break off of the red cover.
Maybe old and brittle or you hit too hard. I would let Ford do it then if they break it they pay. It should not break!

thanks man god dam
fords very easy
great 😊 🙏
Thank you!
I wished you showed how you took off the lights from car , how you took off and replaced the bulb. You didn't show that
I am sorry. I will think about it next time.
TY!!+

Use the correct tool to remove the plastic screw covers.

Can you Explain this like I’m 5?
To much shit for a back light

That is strange.
