- Some idiot clipped my wing mirror and broke the side indicator/repeater lens.
A quick and easy replacement job that can also be used to replace the side repeater bulb. Also valid for the Mk3 Focus

Best example for 3 jobs on the wing mirror in my opinion. Good view, not rushed and no risk. Good Job
Thank you very much
Really helpful video, thanks for the upload. A van smashed my wingmirror light in two this weekend. I've just finished replacing it now with help from your video 👍
Thank you very much, I’m glad it helped.
Thanks so much. I found I could use a flat bladed screwdriver to unclip the indicator from the inside without removing the mirror. Replaced indicators for dynamic (swish, swish) ones in a black colour-coded housing.
Thanks. Yes, that could work too. The video was made before I found out I could just remove the cover to install the new indicators too.
After watching this, I looked into strobed wing mirror lights and wow, they are amazing. Fitted them yesterday and look very nice. Already been asked about them twice. I would reconsider
I might do them next when I replace the bulbs as they are losing their orange colour.
Thanks mate!! Got both of my indicators replaced!
Thank you, glad it helped
That was really helpful thanks. My driver's side mirror indicator lens and bulb somehow got broken in exactly the same position as yours did, it didn't happen during driving, very strange, it was such a specific spot, almost as if someone took a hammer and chisel to it. I was a bit wary of breaking the plastic clips, but the bulb and lens replacement went smoothly, now working again. Thanks very much. I also had a mirror spider! 😂
That’s great, glad it helped
Hi can i ask what the bulb is that fits in the indicator please
Hi mate very useful as always, talking of which, I can't find a video anywhere which show's the removal of the rear fog and reverse light lenses. I have got new one's for mine, but haven't a clue on how to remove them. A future video for you maybe. Thanks for all your other video's.☺
Thank you very much, that is something I’ll be doing in a future video indeed
@@GentilsGarage OK great Gentile that will help many, many thanks Chris☺
Another good video, thanks 👍
Thank you
Excellent video, thank you.
Thank you very much
I have a Mk 2 and Mk 3 Focus and in the past 3 months both suffered an accident and broke the cover/lens.
This so annoying. Happened once with my wife’s car and twice with mine.
Great video. Thanks
Thank you very much.
Useful. Thanks.
You’re welcome
Great videos - have you ever considered changing the auxillary belts? Focus with AC has 2 stretch belts I have heard they are difficult to change thanks
Thank you very much.
Yes, it is something that I would like to do at some point in the next few months.
@@GentilsGarage Thanks I would very much appreciate this as there isn't any good videos how to do this even though ford supplies tools in order to do this but these can be expensive so I would be interested how you would do it. Once again great videos
A van took mine off!
I have another coming in the post today
Question
I shouldn’t need to remove the mirror and the blue case to put a new on BACK on should I??? 🤞🏻
No, not needed but I only done it in the end for demonstration purposes
Where can I buy this bulb
The Bulb 501 you can buy anywhere that sells cars parts. The lens you can get on eBay, like I did.
Why did you remove the mirror
Because it made it easier to remove the indicator
Is this an mot failure?
If it has sharp edges, then yes.
if its busted just destroy it to get it out and clip new one in
The objective of this video is also to show how to change the bulb, so there was no point of destroying it
