How to remove LH headlight on 05-07?

[ahmadr]

Since many of you have gone through this, can you advise how one can remove / replace the (especially LH) headlight on a 2005 - 2007 focus?

Specifically:

1. do I have to remove the airbox/resonator behind the headlight?
2. do I have to remove the splashguard below the bumper?
3. do I have to remove the front LH wheel? liner?

Thanks a lot

Here is a write up I found on a different site for you.
Step 1

Using a Phillips screwdriver Remove the Black plastic radiator shroud.



Step 2

With a 10mm wrench loosen the two bold hold the upper grill to the radiator frame. Then while pulling forward lift the two clips on either side of the hood latch to remove the upper grill.



Step 3

Using a 10mm wrench loosen the top two bold on the headlight assembly.



Step 4

Using a car jack lift the side of the car to lower the wheel to gain access to wheel well shroud.



Step 5

Loosen and pull wheel well shroud back using a 8mm wrench and torx bit or allen wrench.

Step 6

Using a 10mm wrench loosen and remove the third and final bolt holding the headlamp assembly on the vehicle.

Jacking the car up for the bolt under the fender is not neccessary. I did it, lol, it takes longer for sure though.

Thanks a lot. I had searched a bit but hadn't found anything. My bad.

I really should have seen this - even though it was labeled how to paint your headlights

Anyway, here is the original link
