Is it hard to change the bulbs on the headlights and foglights of a 2002 Mountaineer? I looked briefly under the hood and looked like I would have to remove a bunch of stuff. :thumbdwn:

Na, Its pretty easy, all you gotta do is twist the bulb and pull it out, just dont put your fingers on the bulbs, because of the oil on your fingers causes the bulbs to shorten out quicker

Headlights should be easy, but fogs generally are PIA, check the owner manual.
 






If it take you any longer then 1 minute total for both sides, then you shouldnt be working on a car....its that easy....
 






i agree with XtremeRanger and what he said
 












+4 :eek:
 






He's got a Mounty. Is it the same as an Ex as far as changing bulbs?

It takes me about 2 minutes just to get the headlights out, so I guess I fail. Who's going to put my front rims on now (because now I'm not allowed to work on cars)???
 






Ha!

Will there be a utube video to prove this (on an 02 Mounty)? I'd like to see that :thumbsup:
 






ok, so maybe 3 minutes total.....fact is its pretty simple.....you could do the fogs without even looking at it...

maybe it took me 3 minutes to put in the HID's.....

haha but no it's not too complicated..just read the manual and you should be good to go
