- A few years ago I made a video on how to change the headlamp bulb in a 2010 Milan on the driver side because no one had yet made one. So a few years later the passenger side has finally blown out. So I am going to show you how to change that one today.
Thank you,

Still helping people out 6 years later. Thanks for the help!
Was browsing thru and discovered this video. Though I didn't need it, just wanna say I'm happy to see many people honestly helping others. So thanks for the presentation.
Thanks!!!
Thank you!!!!! Just changed this out in about 30 mins, my arm is a little sore for trying to squeeze into that spot but I did it!!! Only broke one rivet... thank you! #singlemomlearningslowly
Thanks for your thorough video. I have a 2010 Milan Hybrid, and that manual does not give instructions at all... where yours has a nice diagram and steps, mine simply says to go to the dealer.
Bottom line is that mine has washer fluid and coolant reservoirs blocking access to the passenger side bulb, BUT the same wheel well access worked for me. Saved me $200. Thanks!!
When I change the drivers side bulb, I'll leave a Hybrid comment on your other video thread, because it's a very different engine compartment configuration than the standard. That one doesn't look so easy...
Driver side light went out so I found your other video helpful. I decided to watch this one since I know when one goes, the other isn't too far away. Thanks for the heads up. I sure hope I don't have to do the passenger side for a while.
Thanks very much. This process was a real pain in the neck, and your video took away much of my aggravation. I wish I looked at it an hour earlier.
watched your video of drivers side replacement and in my opinion you are the best guy I have ever watched showing how to do anything , my husband is 71 and this made it so much easier on him. thank you so much
Thank you so much your tutorial is very much appreciated
Shoutout to you for this video. I would of wasted money taking this to the mechanic if it wasn't for your detailed video. The hardest part was removing all the rivets, thanks so much!!!
Our passenger headlamp went out on our Milan and my wife went to NAPA to buy one because they normally will install them. The guy there said something about not having insurance in case something was broken, etc. Now I think I know the real reason he wouldn't install it! Can't blame him, though. Thanks for the detailed video.
Good for you showing the recommended way to do this--very good and detailed EXCEPT you did not show how to one handed install the bulb into the wires/socket! This is a critical and tricky step! However, I was able to replace the bulb by simply lifting the anti-freeze reservoir out of the way and did not disconnect any hoses. This is doable.
I did also removed (or partially removed) the coolant reservoir container. I got the top hose off then used a bungee to hold it out of the way. Tried alternatives but its way too much work. Did the driver side in the Spring so hopefully never have to do it again.
Great video my good man. Even though I had to do an upgrade to LED bulbs on a 2012 MKZ, I really could not find a video as good as and as close as this. Your dedication to the process was appreciated and very much welcomed...
Which LED'S did you install? How are they working after a couple years? Thanks
@@settlethetrades I have ones that look real good but don't really illuminate the road well. This seems to be a known / common problem with the projector headlight enclosures themselves on the Fusion /MKZ / Milan 06 - 12 , really no matter what LED bulbs are used. I failed to do my homework completely before the task:( The good news is you can use the same style or even stonger new ones on the fog lamp area and it really helps compensate. The lights look good, except for the projector caveat. Bulbs have gotten better since I wrote that just 2 years ago. Auxito will be what I go to. Good quality bulbs on Amazon. GL.
@@eightiesgod thanks bro
Perfect instructional vid. I could not pry out the rivets, they were just 2 old. Luckily, the 2nd and 3rd rivet from the bottom up were already missing. So I pulled the wheel well back and squeezed my hand inside to access the bulb without removing any other rivets. I only recommend this if u have small hands
This was a very good video. Thank Youuuu. I appreciate you.
Tip: Jack up the car slightly about 4 or 5 inches to give yourself a lot more room to remove the rivets and lower the inner fender panel onto the tire and also accessing the headlight bulb over the tire
Could I just jack car and take tire off ?
I just want to thank you so much! Because of budget constraints, I have had to try to learn to do some things myself with my car. I love my Malon but she’s older now and everything else seems to be in trouble. Lol but you gave me confidence that I can try to do this, and that is what I really respect and you took your time and you showed me every single thing. I need to feel confident in order to try to do this, so thank you I appreciate it.
Lauren, I a so glad this video helped you. I really appreciate you letting me know as well. Thanks!!
Light bulb is now fixed.👍 Now, unto the driver’s side brake lite issue and drivers door won’t open from inside.🤦♀️😏 Thanks again!
@@laurenwichman1429 oh man. Had the same issue with the inside lever. It breaks. You have to buy the whole inside assembly. They don't just sell a new lever. But is the lever that broke. I ended up designing and 3d printing one that fit just good enough to work and I replaced my own. I no longer have the Milan. But it was a good car.
Wow! 3D printing for parts! You must be very smart! Three years now.. I’ve been putting the window down to reach the “outside” handle to open the door. That can get tricky when it’s ❄️ snowing.🙃 My question is…do you think I could take the interior door section off by myself to take a look AND get it “back-on” properly? Sadly, Most Wisconsin Auto Repair Shops and Dealerships way overcharge Just to look at it. Not much chivalry anymore. But, hey, you’ve helped me a lot by teaching me certain repairs that I CAN do myself. I saved over $300 on doing the front headlight ✅ thanks
@@laurenwichman1429 you don't have to remove the whole panel. Take the screws out that hold the lever assembly in. It should pop out. The assemblies run $60 - $80 online.
Thanks for the video. Just did the bulb replacement in my Milan. Just took out the front rivets and peel back. Had to do with one hand, but for er done.
I’m happy to report that the 2008 model had access port for the bulb 💡
Thanks for the video, My Human Resources manager has a 2010 Milan and this helped me immensely, although I’d like to execute the Ford/Mercury engineer that designed this setup 🤫! Js
Thank you! Jusy changed mine out and it went good an quick
Big ups man this is exactly what I needed
Thanks for the heads up. In the last video you said you spin the wheel to the right, but in this video you spun it to the left.
jevchance honestly I think either way will work.
Muchas gracias muy buen video 👍
¡Muchas gracias por mirar!
What a complete PITA. Gotta love how Ford made it so difficult to replace a headlight.
Great video. Great detail.
Thanks for the video saved me a couple of hundred bucks!
Thank you homie
Thanks so much for the video!! You helped 10000%
Thanks man. Really appreciate it!
I know what the manual says, but it saves about two hours of time if you just remove the windshield washer reservoir. one nut, one bolt, and one hose clamp. There's another hose on bottom but there's enough room to change the bulb
He is correct,however it is the coolant reservoir .I have big hands and was able to do this and save alot of time than go the wheel well route.Thanks Eloyt.
@@gerardsaunders8512 Yes, you are right. I was going by memory lol
Thank you so much for the video! Super helpful!!
Than you so much it help me a lot
Thank you I was able to get it in, thanks to your excellent tutorial! Only problem I wasn't able to get one rivet back in the one behind the Upper ball joint. Do you think it really matters? I was able to get all the rest back in place.
Found this video after I had already done this on a relatives Milan. I figured out how to do it this the hard way but still took me almost an hour to do the passenger side. Did the driver side in less than 10 minutes, expected the passenger to be about the same, boy was I wrong. That headlight job is a bitch. If it was my car, id have made a hatch in the wheel well to get to the light.
amazing tutorial
Thank you very helpful.
Glad it helped thanks!
Thanks for the video.
Thank you!
Thanks...I'll get on it
Did break one rivet,.just because I tried to go too fast. Reminded myself to wiggle them out instead of one big.pull.
NO! Just unscrew the washer fluid reservoir (2 screws), and pull it up out of thr way. You can then get a hand right down to the bulb.
My husband just popped the panel above the headlamp and took the cover off, it wasn't necessary to take all the other things loose.
Could I just jack car and take wheel off so I can reach in easier ?
Just take the wheel off & get more room to work?
Would it be better just to take the wheel off
About to do the driver's side on my GF's Milan (non premier) but it looks like i have 2.5 years to worry about passenger side or at least you didnt. I THINK it will be EZR for me if i take off the passenger wheel rather than go through all that other BS. SO? 15 minutes or an hour?
I actually had to change it about 4 months after but didn't film it. I did the second one much later when I installed HIDs
Pop rivets out? Bro there is a t20 torx bolt u uns rew and flap moves out the way and bam head light bulb area is right there.
That is counter clockwise.
NO DONT DO THIS TAKE A 10 MM SOCKET AND TAKE THE WHITE PLASTIC RESEVOIRS OF YOU CAN REACH THE BULB OUT THERE IS A ROUND RUBBER COVER POPS RIGHT OFF
ok.....trying it now...
Why do they make it such a pain in the ass
Car makers make things impossible. Don't remove air box, bulb is already accessible. Don't remove wheel well, just remove two bolts from coolant overflow and set aside and passenger side is accessible. Yikes to whoever says go through wheel well. Practical joke by mercury i guess.
SORRY TAKE RESEVOIR OFF TOOK ME TWO MINUTES
gino batz you mean windshield washer right ......
