I'm heading off to see my mum a little later. She has a 55 plate Ford
Focus automatic.

The rear indicator bulb has blown, she has asked me to fit a new bulb.

Could someone give me some simple instructions how to change the bulb
- the lights seem high up on the body next to the top half of the
tailgate - is there access from inside the car to the bulb, or is it
changed externally?

Hints and tips appreciated.

Thanks

there is an internal knob to undo and one screw from the outside, the
cluster then pulls backwards. I like to put some masking tape around the
lamp (on the paintwork) to protect because sometimes they stick and come out
in a rush !!! When refitting put some grease on the 'peg' and on the screw.
