Thanks for taking the time to post this extremely helpful advice.
By far the easiest step by step I've watched, clear and no waffle, thanks.
Thanks for watching 👍👍
Good information saves rolling around on your back for a few hours👍 thanks
Fantastic explanation .. huge thanks !!
I had one attempt to replace a cracked rear fog light lens and failed because I couldn't reach the far screw. Loosening the bumper gave much better access. It was still difficult to get a screwdriver on the screw but I used an Erbauer angled bit holder attached to an electric screwdriver and job done! Thanks so much for posting this.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 👍
Thanks, really helped! Very detailed video, and great captions.
Thanks Jim, just what I needed.

Thanks man I struggled my ass off with the first one
Excellent, thanks. Just having to replace the rear bumper light and like everyone else can’t get to the far screw. This explains it all nicely. Top job.
you probably dont care but does any of you know a tool to log back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid lost the password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Gideon Jonathan instablaster :)
@Zachariah Kendrick i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Zachariah Kendrick it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass !
@Gideon Jonathan No problem :)
Would it be easier if I took the wheel off? Great video by the way.
many thanks!
Would I be able to pop back the bumper back in without getting a new bracket? Mine is sticking out but I'm grand with replacing the reflector for the time being
Hi Jim,love tbe videos on tbe fiesta mk7 as I've one.
I've followed your vid re tbe broken reflector done that no probs,just regarding tbe sticking out bumper which mine dies too,regarding rivets what size rivet do I need on mm please ?
Thanks Jim,
Steve 👍
Thanks man, great and detailed video !
John Jensen thanks!
Great video, is it just behind the drivers side there is a fog light? And this side a reflector?.
This is exactly what happened to my car from the previous owner.
Hi, thanks! Yes only the drivers side is the fog light, passengers just a reflector. Happens to loads of fiestas!
Slightly fiddly, but you can do it with the bumper in place by using an allen key to undo the inner bolt, even though it's not an allen key head. Awkward to do, but saves dislodging the mud flap and bumper.
Hi, Nice video ! But what's the name of the black part we can see at 5.53 mins.. Where the bumper have to clip on.
Thanks, Bumper bracket 👍
How much does it cost to refit it. I mean the Labour cost if we buy the reflector ourselves?
Great job! I thought it was necessary to replace the whole bumper!
Thank you so much ! That's gonna help me ! Just ordered a new reflector !
Great! 👍
Hola una pregunta qué modelo de Ford es ? La mía es Ford fiesta del 2014 es igual a esa del vídeo yo también he roto el faro por favor dime si es igual a la mía
Hi great information here , just wondering what type/size rivets you used.. cheers
6.4mm dia see post below
Where can I buy this reflector that ships to Hong Kong?
does 2016 and 2017 has the same fit?
Is this possible to do without a riveter?
why did ford design the fiesta with just one rear fog light?
boy teebah my guess is to save money...
lol! but I will take that for an answer...lol!
Thanks man, I thought I lost something while fixing. This answer my question
Does the bumper just pull out of the bracket once the 8mm and t20 are removed?
Yes its held in by some clips so give it a small tug and it should pop out 👍
@@ALLTHINGSJIM Tried it earlier. Used a pry tool, just to be careful not to break any clips.
There is also a plastic fastener (2-in-1 type type), on my Fiesta ST 2013, which needs to be removed (under the bumper, one on each side).
The bumper doesn't pull off easily, we need to be careful not breaking the clips while pulling it off. I think there's no specific advice to do it with 100% chance o breaking any clips...
@@HiteOzcorrect about being careful, i noticed there was 5 clips in total along the side. I was able to use an old soft edged flathead driver to gently wedge in and nudge the plastic bumper out enough (2mm) so i could locate each clip which i then popped out one by one.
Should there only be one rear fog light work on fiesta
Yes the other is a reflector 👍
Gostaria de saber um jeito de trocar esses lanternas fácil
Is it possible to change the reflector by just taking the mud flaps off without taking the bumper off as well?
Rob Evans not really ive tried before and you just end up struggling alot more than just popping that side of the bumper off
You know, it had a great start to the audio and what not. Why did it turn into some homemade DIY arts and crafts project made by Jimmy's mom? Come on now, they're cars, not kids' toys..
My bolts were T25 for some strange reason 🤔
Thanks but how did you join the bumper bracket to the metal pannel? New pop rivets? I been searching for the answer to this online for years. Nobody anywhere can tell me anything in person.
Yes with new pop rivets, you need fairly large headed ones, the old ones get drilled out to remove the old brackets 👍
@@ALLTHINGSJIM thanks for your reply! the idiot that repaired my rear bar from crash damage broke all those tabs off. And won't clip back in 😑
I have recently snatched/pushed in my right reflector light and need to get it repaired 😱😭💔
😔
Jim what size rivet did you use?
Glen Shaw sorry i dont know the size, I just have a box of assorted rivets and use the biggest one that fits
Cheers Jim, Just have a bumper replacement in a few days.
@@ALLTHINGSJIM 4.8mm diameter is the largest readily available size, but this is NOT big enough. The holes in the wing (and the bumper bracket) are about 6.5mm so you will need to source 6.4mm diameter rivets. It is a tight fit. The Ford spec is for a 6.4mm diameter, and (approx) 2mm - 5mm grip length, I think, they sell packs of 10 and are pricey compared to buying independently in singles. I managed to get 12mm length x 6.4mm dia rivets from my local specialist, and they did the job. You will need a very meaty rivet gun with lots of leverage, and tape the wing heavily to protect it from getting bashed by the rivet gun when the rivet shaft snaps
Ppppp
Bloody annoying music!
😂👍
