If you have tested out the brightness of your headlights and found that they aren’t as illuminating as you would like, then it may be time to replace them. Luckily, it is very easy to do at home by yourself.

First, you need to wear protective gloves and goggles during the process. This is standard as you will be getting into tight - and tough - spaces. It’s also best to replace both bulbs even if only one is out. This will ensure that they are even.

Next, if your vehicle has two bulbs per casing - one for high and one for low beams - then you need to identify which is which. The low beam bulb is usually on the outside, and the high one is typically on the inside.

Now it’s time to get into the unit itself. Some are easy to get into by removing a few screws. Others require access gained through the wheel well. It’s best to pop the hood in any case and be sure to read your owner’s manual for specific instructions.

Then, remove the plug for the bulb by releasing the clip with a small screwdriver. Next, take out the old bulb by turning it counter-clockwise. Install the new one by turning clockwise until you hear a click. Once you’re done, test them out before you hit the road.

No matter what type of Ford vehicle you own, it will come with at least two pedals. Models with manual transmissions will have an added clutch that serves as a third, but automatics only include the accelerator and brake units.

Higher trim levels may also have upgraded pedals that can be re-positioned to suit your height and comfort level. These are known as power-adjustable pedals. They can be moved toward or away from you. The control is usually located in the central dash area. It is generally a button that you press up or down to rearrange the components beneath your feet.

These also come with sensors known as APS. If this aspect is faulty, it can cause the malfunction indicator light (MIL) to come on. Signs to look for to determine if the sensor is going bad include slow acceleration and having trouble picking up speed. It may come as a surprise, but these are fairly easy to replace. You can do it yourself or bring your vehicle to a professional mechanic for faster service.
