Probably the best way to get the tabs out are to take a set of feeler gauges apart and slide them on both sides of the tabs. Show be a lot easier to remove the cover.
Same situation for the headlights, please can you reccomend a HID kit or which bulb would i need to get the same LED pure white effect on my dipped beam headlights (fiesta ST 16) thanks! :)
i just did this job and those clips are a biiiittch. The top, inside one was the easiest to get unbound. once that happened i started prying the trim piece away and kept force on it. that helped the rest of the clips come undone. once you get that first one going, all you have to do is pry away a little bit at the BOTTOM of the clips, and then push the plastic tab out at the same time you are pulling on the trim piece on the outside. once i started with that pattern the thing came off no problem and not much damage at all.. when I was done, the trim piece clicked back in quite nicely.
Literally just said this to myself as he busted the plastic. I’m like why the fuck not just take the bumper off at this point because you’re just damaging crap
The trim attaches to the number, the screws are front facing between the trim and the number. So even with the bumper off, you still need to remove the trim
The first tab was actually cracking as he was working with it. It looks too easy to mess this up, and a pain in the ass trying to do it. I after watching this, I don't think I trust letting a shop do the install either. Perhaps seeking the services of an actual Ford technician is the best bet for getting this done?
I have a 2014 Fiesta ST. I removed my fog lamps from the rear and not like the video. The drivers' side lamp needed the fender wheel well cover removed to replace the lamp. After about 35 mins total time, they were replaced. The lamps are slightly brighter and I noticed the wider Illumination. I wish they could brighten up my visibility 5ft down the road. For the price, it wasn't worth it. I would rather use the money on the rear motor mount instead.

As much issue he is having with a lift...I already know how pissed I am going to get. Then I saw him tearing the plastic and I was done.

Any word on similar lights being produced for the 15-16 ST's?
Will these fit a Focus SE with factory fog lamps as well?
where can i get the front edges of the bumper? what protrudes down the sides of the front bumper?
They are cup spoilers by Fifteen52 www.cjponyparts.com/fifteen52-front-cup-spoiler-kit-focus-st-2013-2014/p/1552CUP/
Do you have shipping to United Arab Emirates?
What do you recommend for the headlights if you dont have the factory HIDs?
Ever taken the grill out? There arr those clips and warming up them with a heat gun is the only way 🌞
What size and brand rims are those? Do you sell them?
They are Niche Targas. www.cjponyparts.com/niche-targa-wheel-18-x8-matte-black-with-tinted-face-accents-focus-st-2013-2018/p/W635-V/
Forget all that. I stopped after he almost stabbed a hole through his bumper. I will simply be installing LED bulbs. Thanks!
i want something along the lines of what u say here? can you reccomend LED bulbs to get? size, brand ect
thanks :)

LOL.. I agree with Justin Borja
They look great in a well lit shop. How do they look in the dark? Fail.
Probably easier to take off the entire bumper and do it from behind if possible 😂

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing myself. Best send it to Ford to remove those sods.
I have a 2013 focus st. These will fit?
SilverZeppelin yes
Roland Koller thanks! Got them installed already haha
Oops. Broken clips already

2x this process.
Luxeon video shows doing it from the fenderwell. Why all this butchery?
You need to get "driving lights" if you want to see further down the road.
make something to replace the OEM mustang LED foglight in the grill,they burn out and are $750 each !
wow
Im just gonna buy a new car.
Remind myself to never do this
Not even worth swapping them out.
What a complete butcher hack job... I changed mine on my 18 focus st from the front by literally only using a plastic pry bar.
Why in hell did they make this so difficult???!!!😡
Jus too much trouble...
