LOL...You'll know how hard it is to pull the bulb out while holding the camera at the same time too.
Glad the video helped!
Thank you very much for the video. Did my 2015 Ford Escape a little while ago and takes some finesse as you said, but I had it easier...I wasn't holding a camera and narrating!! :) Thank you again
Great tutorial! Thank you for taking the time to make it!
Thanks for your video. I prefer your way then removing the mirror. It's easier then what I tought doing your way also.
Used your video to do this just the other day.
Thanks!
David Pyzik my mirror does not rotate that far, cant even squeeze one finger in the gap 😢
Point the mirror Upward as well as Inward all the way in both directions, the gap should be wide enough like in my video.

Very helpful, sir! Can't wait to replace my yellow puddle lights with LEDs
Doesnt work on 2013 titanium. No were near big enough gap
you have great camera stabilization software. lol very helpful video. thanks and I love your accent. haha
Do you know if there is a fuse for the puddle lamps? Both were stopped working but the directional mirrrors and turn signals still work
Great Videos! They have been very helpful! Can you do a number plate light video for the Hatchback 2012+, I can't figure out how to get that thing out.
Thanks! According to the Owner's Manual, the 2012 Focus Hatch License Plate bulbs are already LEDs.
best accent ever
Awsome man! Thanks a lot ;)
Keep making them :D
Great vid
Thank you - very useful.
Do you know the sizes of the bulb? I wanna put leds on them
Hi, how do you change side lights on this car,, thanks.
What type of bulb is needed for puddle light, T10?
Correct
you can just clip the mirror off makes it a lot faster and easier
Not recommended. Pulling the mirror off to access may risk to break the holding clip(s) from the mirror motor. Also clipping it back is not as simple as it's hard to tell if you've fully clipped back the mirror or just partially clipped without stressing the mirror motor.
great help, thank you..
what is DOT requirement for mirror lights? Do the mirror lights have to be yellow? i want to make them red or green or pink
+Kinji Martin Presents Always (Amber or Yellow) color for all front-facing Turn Signal lights....
So is it gonna blink faster with the LED or not?
No, it won't. The main flasher circuit resistance is still from those 4 Blinker Bulbs in both Headlights and Taillights.
awesome thanks for the video very helpful. where can you buy that LED bulb? anywhere? like autozone, oreilly etc? part number for that LED?
oh camera stay in and out of focus a lot, sometimes it's very hard to see!
Yea the camera has hard time focusing the area behind the side mirror sometimes. As for where to buy the LED bulbs, I've got mine all from eBay. Just make sure you buy from sellers with "Top Rated Plus" rating and search for bulb with SAMSUNG High Power LED chips only.
moomoo97 puddle, cargo, dome, reverse lights are 194, any others that are 194? maybe I will replace them all with LED lol. oh can't find video to replace the dome light, any pointers for me? thanks (I got focus st st3 no moonroof so I got 2 dome lights type)
Only ST3 with Moonroof has LED domes. Of yours non-LED domes, there's a U-shape which you can insert a small flat head screwdriver to push the spring back and pull the housing off the ceiling, just be careful with it. The bulb is also 194 short-type and housed in a twist-style socket.

wow nice thanks a lot. ordered bulbs already can't wait for them to arrive!

installed puddle and cargo light it's so nice! LED is definitely cooler. however the same LED won't fit into dome light, it's too wide. maybe I will try remove the circular cover outside the bulb thing and insert bulb from there, hmm maybe I will get a diff LED that will fit.
For reverse light, signal lights and such important lights, if I installed it wrong or it stopped working etc. do I get an error message at the dashboard?
another question I live like 3 min from highway, in the morning I let car warm up like 1 min until the rpm drops below 1k. then I get on highway at like 80,85mph (but I stay off boost and doesn't go over 3k rpm since engine still cold) it should be ok or should I drive it like 60mph first. thanks
nice job ,thanx .
Is the indicator already LED ?
Nope, stock is an amber incandescent bulb. This video is to show you how to change it out with LED, as well as the puddle lamp.
I thought the side marker lights are the front parking lights, not the mirror turn signals
Make it look cool LOL
Nothing wrong with thag
You kinda sound like jackie chan
great help, thank you..
