    Hello almond

    I'll move your thread over to the 'Motoring & Public Transport' board, where it should get more views and responses.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

    Regards

    Have you had a look in the owners manual? It should be explained with illustrations in there.

    I have a 98 Fiesta, but I can't imagine its much different.

    With mine you just need to remove the plugs, and pull the entire back of the housing out. The bulbs will be stuck in the panel as you remove them, you simply pull the bulb out, stick another in, and stick it back in the hole and replace the plugs.

    Took me 2 minutes to do the other day.

    Hi,

    I had mine done at the local garage the other day - it cost me all of 95p for the bulb including fitting!

    He went into the boot and pulled the panel down on the side of which brake light had gone. Get a new bulb and replace the one that is broken.
