2006 Ford Focus headlight bulb replacement: Purchase the correct replacement headlight bulb(s) first, before disassembling the vehicle. See sources and related links below for replacement bulb information. Then consult your owner's manual for the headlight bulb replacement procedure. As simple as it sounds, the owner's manual is the best place to start for bulb replacement instructions and illustrations. You may want to consider replacing both left and right at the same time in order to keep brightness and color equal (optional).
Added: Definitely replace both of them and if one is good, keep it for a spare, wrapped in a paper towel and back in the box.
DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS WITH YOUR FINGERS, the oil will make the bulb burn out, as they are very, very hot when on. If you do touch it, chean it off with a soft cloth and rubbing alcohol.
It is very close quarters where you have to work, so the smaller your hands, the better.

Remove the parking/turn signal light assembly. Take off the grill. Remove the headlight bulb. Remove the inner and outer attatching screws and upper attatching screw. Lift the headlight out.
You change it from under the hood and SMALL HANDS are a plus. Be sure to keep your fingers OFF the bulb, or it will last you about 2 minutes. Follow the instructions on the packaging.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal and turn the headlight switch on. Then turn it back off. Wait about 30 minutes and re-hook your battery.
all you need is a torx screwdriver
I have the same problem. You can't seem to take it off from the outside. All I was told is that you have to unscrew it from the inside somehow.
