    Do you have to remove the bumper to replace your headlight bulbs in your Ford Fusion? In this video we replace the headlight bulbs on my 2015 Ford Fusion and show you how to do it WITHOUT taking the bumper off! We also upgrade the Fusion's headlight bulbs in the process to something a little brighter as the standard halogen bulbs are not as bright as I would like them to be. Very few tools are needed for this job and I highly recommend you try to do this yourself versus paying someone to do it for you. Hope this video helps, let me know how we did in the comments below. Thanks!

      While this isn't too bad, and I'm sure a whole lot easier than taking off the bumper like some videos show... I came here to check out how to change my headlights since I just changed my wife's, on her Honda CRV. No instruments required, and it legit took under 2 minutes per side. I was hoping mine would be as simple, but clearly not. :( Not terrible, but compared to the Honda CRV, this is a poor design. Who designs this silliness. :\

    Thank you so much for making this video. It was clear and gave me the confidence to do this job. The previous owner of my 2016 Fusion had the headlights replaced by a local mechanic before I bought the car, but less than a year later one of them went out. (You know the guy touched the bulb while installing it.) This saved me at least $200 I was thinking I would never need to spend because the problem had been fixed.

    On the 2014, to remove the bulb from the socket, once you get that removed, you have to press a tab to get the bulb to release. Hard to do with only 2 hands, and mine may have been stuck pretty because I’m pretty sure it’s the original.

    I used to have a 2011 Mercury Milan. I did changed the headlight on the driver’s side twice. I didn’t used any tools just my hands. I took out the air filter out the top and bottom to get to the headlight. I did changed both headlights in a 2015 Ford Escape a couple times. My very first car was a 1998 Ford Contour that I had to take out each light to changed the headlights by using a Phillips head screw driver. I did it twice on that car. My father wanted to helped me but, I got it under control. Luckily that I have small hands to reach in.

    managed to get it out without removing anything but the dust cover using a large oil filter wrench. The curved wrench fit in their and I was able to push on the wiring harness to break it free - then rotate it 360 degrees and pull it out. Scraped up my knuckles but got it out. Now I just have to figure out how to get the new one in after I go to the store for a new bulb.

    Thank you so much, this helped me a lot. Little bit of struggle for the first buld on driver side to put it back, but not a big deal. Once you replace the driver side, the passenger side would be a piece of cake. Just be careful for sharp edges of the frame while removing and installing the bulb.

      8 hours for a head gasket replacement on some diesel pickups and the cab has to come off of truck on top of getting the turbo system out of the way, so these things even themselves out. Your mechanic doesn't live in a million-dollar home with a couple of Range Rovers in the garage, he has to make monthly payments in order to afford specialty tools.
      His job is as much as a rip-off as whatever it is that you happen to do for a living.

    If you’ve got big fat Viking hands like me, use a 13/16 wrench on the square of the backside of the bulb and it’ll turn out. Your wrench will be at an extreme angle but it’ll be enough to get it done. Good luck.
