  • Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
  • Ford Escape light series. UPDATE: Despite the title within the video, this procedure is for 2001-2004 only...not up to 2007. Replacing the headlight bulbs for a 2001 Ford Escape. Access to the bulbs is fairly easy for both bulbs. Covers years 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and Mazda Tribute. The procedure is the same for both bulbs.

    This is perhaps the clearest and most explanatory DIY repair video I’ve watched on RUclips and I’ve watched a bunch. I used to do all my own repairs but now mostly simple maintenance, however, that’s not too simple when you don’t know what to do. GREAT JOB!!!! THANK YOU!

    I quit reading the comments, but I am 100% in agreement with the ones I read. This video has got to be the most concise and no frills (very good thing on an instructional video) I have ever watched on RUclips. Thanks for making lives easier!!

    • @GreaseMonkeyFever

      Thanks for watching, Justin. Believe me, you don't want to hear me talk through videos. Plus, before I started making these, I watched them for repairs. Between the music, mumbling and heavy accents, I had to keep going back to understand what was said. That's when I decided to make videos that were entirely visual...no need to listen closely, so you can follow along right at the car. A repair manual-video hybrid, so to speak. Thanks again!
