These step-by-step instructions and video detail how to replace the headlight bulbs on
2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 Ford Escape models. Changing a burned out or failing headlight bulb helps you see clearly, follow road laws, and lets other drivers know of your vehicle’s presence on the road. If your Escape’s headlight bulbs are burned out or malfunctioning, you should replace both headlight bulbs together since they will likely fail at around the same time. O’Reilly Auto Parts carries headlight bulbs, tail light bulbs, and other exterior light bulbs for your Ford Escape to help you make your repairs.

The headlights on your Ford Escape help you see where you’re going at night or in poor weather, and are required by law to work properly. Changing a dim, flickering, or burned out headlight bulb on your 2008-2012 Ford Escape is a simple repair that can help you see better while driving. It’s recommended that when changing one headlight bulb, the other should be replaced as well, since both bulbs have been used for the same amount of time and will likely fail around the same age. Failing headlight bulbs on your Ford Escape can make it difficult for other drivers to see your SUV on the road, and could put you and others in danger. Our detailed instructions can help you perform a headlight bulb replacement on your Ford Escape to keep you safe on the road.

Park on a level surface… and make sure your headlight switch and ignition switch are turned off.
Never turn on your headlights with the bulb removed.
Open your hood.
Remove the bulb from the headlight assembly by turning it counterclockwise… and pulling it from the
assembly.
The wiring harness will still be attached.
Work the bulb carefully out of its socket.
Push the new headlight bulb into place in the socket.
Remember when you handle your new headlight bulbs not to touch them with your bare hands.
Finger oil or grease can cause hot spots on the glass that may make the bulbs burn out prematurely.
Secure the bulb in the headlight assembly by turning it clockwise into place.
We recommend changing headlights in pairs, so repeat these steps on the other side.
On the driver’s side, space is fairly limited, so it may be easier to press the tab on the electrical
connector to detach it from the bulb housing before removing it from the assembly.
Otherwise, the procedure is the same.
