2015-2022 Ford Mondeo Headlight H7 Bulb Replacement

By far and away the worst feature on my 2017 Mondeo Titanium Hackney Carriage Taxi and on all non LED lit 2015-2022 Ford Mondeo's is the replacement of a blown H7 headlight bulb.

It is doable with the headlight in situ if you have very nimble fingers however even this can only be done by feel and it is a very difficult task to get right.

Unfortunately on a day before in situ attempt with help from a colleague, the bulb retaining clip fell inside the headlight so it was a headlight completely out job in order to retrieve the clip and replace the bulb..

The main headlight body can only be removed in a forward direction which means the bumper needs to be detached from the body and pulled forward.

This involved wheel off and wheel arch lining removed so behind wheel arch cover bolts were visible for the bumper to be undone and pulled forward, along with a bolt underneath the headlight for undoing and removal along with the more visible bolts on top of the unit..

Still with all this installation agro, the cost of a replacement H7 bulb for a Ford Mondeo Mk5 is just a couple of pounds to purchase off eBay or elsewhere while a new and sealed OEM LED headlight cluster direct from Ford is er.. £1244.57 (per side).

Thank you to my nephew for completing this 2 hour task under my close supervision (ahem) just to replace one headlight bulb. Very very poor design in what is otherwise a very good car.

This car is a continuation of my long tradition of owning and/or driving countless 'D' sector 'large family' class of Ford Cortina/Sierra/Mondeo motor vehicles that stretches all the way back to early 1986 and my purchase of a 1977 Ford Cortina Ghia.
