Such a superior video. Most people do not show how they unscrew and unclip everything in detail, but you do. Very well done! One suggestion: Sometimes you start each segment with a closeup and it's so close it's hard to tell where on the car you're working on at that moment. You might start each segment explaining where on the car you're at and what you're going to do next, and then zoom in and show the close-ups as you've done. Other than that, this is so much better than anything else I've seen on how to do this. Thank you.

Jesus. No wonder whoever owed my car before me didn't fix the bumper clip under behind the wheel well/under the headlight. Great video sir. Thank you!

The high beams are impossible without pulling the headlight but I did my low beams with one hand.

So many people complaining about how hard it is. I’m 20 a broke college student, can’t afford full insurance so hitting a deer ain’t covered. Damaged all the way back to the upper radiator support, I don’t have money to take it to the shop so I replaced everything myself off of diagrams cuz some of these don’t have KZread videos. I replaced from bumper side fender shutter fog light head light radiator support header mounted and everything that’s on it

Using a 10 inch quick adjusting groove joint pliers with curved jaw from Home Depot I was able to twist and pull the light bulb without removing the bumper. This was on a 2016 fusion. I know have a 2018 Fusion hybrid and thankfully on these year models you don’t have to do any of this its right there in the open ez change.

I just bought a 2013 se on Friday. I wanted to my put hid lights into it, but first I wanted to see how the halogens looked. However, I was anxious..lol. So, Friday night I put my leds into the fogs. Saturday evening I decided it was time to put the hids into highs and lows. I already had the bottom piece and the thumb screws out of the wheel wells from what I put the fogs in (it got dark and I didn't have time to reinstall). After reading your comment that says you should be able to pull the bumper far enough away to get the headlight assembly out (impossible to change light bulb without doing so), it worked fine on one side. I went to do it on the otherside and the bumper..fell off. I did not touch the screws in the wheel well, or the bumper bracket (5:30-6:30). The whole bumper did come off though. I don't believe I broke anything and it fits back perfectly o.O..

2019 September Bro you really know how to make good videos. I have Ford fusion and I need more videos like this...

Dude! You're a freaking life saver. Thanks for this! Really.

Thank you for creating this video on the removal and installation of the front bumper. It is very helpful.

Best video there is on this process. Excellent work!

Really, really good vid and explanation. Not that hard of a job but super to see this vid first. I tried replacing my low beam bulbs without removing the bumper- no can do. Many thanks for this vid!

Great tutorial. very helpful ! Thanks! but ;) you dont need unscrew (left and right ) whole slide. example on 6:00 min. video. only unscrew main screw. ofcourse you must pull plastic pin ( 3 per side) example 1:50 on this video. wireds are long :-) you can unpluged it on top side

Changing windshield for new wipers would be another good idea 👍🏻

Wow, Man! You are brave! Bravo! I lost all hope as you progressed taking off screw after screw after screw after.... help! another six! Oh no, more screws.... honestly, I gave up... plus all the connectors to unplug... I am sure I would never remember what screw goes where and in what order, lol. It would be painful to think I was finished when I have still 20 screws that I couldn't remember I took out, ha ha ha.... Yeah, this would raise my motivation to go the the Ford Dealership and let them deal with it. You did really excellent! Are you a pro car mechanic? Can I hire on as an apprentice with you? I'm sure I'd learn a lot! Thanks again for the great clip!

Dude I was installing a larger intercooler and nobody at all that did them for the 1.6 did a video about it so tanks so much for making this video showing how to take the bumper one

Ford made this nearly impossible...

Absolutely spectacular. You have given me a wealth of information with this video, that I have been searching for. 🍺🍺

Thank you for the video!! Had to do some bumper cover work and this was excellent!!

Bumper pops off the mounting brackets so you don't have to take them off on the corners. One less thing to mess around with

Waste of money it's not that hard, and you don't actually have to remove the entire bumper. Just the top half loosen it up enough to get head lamp out.

Great video man, i have a question though, im currently rebuilding my 2016 ford fusion and there is a cable that im confused on where it goes, its the one by the hood tab that you press to open it, its the only one by itself up there and it runs along the left headlight. -Thanks

I saw a few comments about replacing the upper grill. One said they did have to take off the bumper, the others did not further comment. Do you have to take off the bumper to replace the upper grill?

alex khamis Technically, no. You have to remove the 5 thumb screws - 3 inside the wheel well and two on the bottom of the bumper. You then have to remove all the screws and clips at the top of the bumper. This should allow you to swing out the side of the bumper far enough to remove the headlight.

This video is helpful but something are a little different on the 19 like the thumb screws in the wheel wells are now 1 pull tab and 2 screws also the wiring harness goes from the right side of the car across the bumper to the other side so you can't fully take the bumper off because of it

I was looking at my granddaughter's 2017 fusion,where she had a collision that damages her driverside bumper and fender. I noticed that they are torn-out holes holes under the bottom that the bumper is secured. What is the name of that part, I would like to replace it. Is that you called the underbody cover?

What are those two electrical connectors on the drivers side? I can't find front side marker lights on these fusions.

Is there a way to bend it open just enough to get a hand in there? I have a dead bird stuck in there and I really don’t wanna take 50 screws and clips out 🤦🏻‍♀️

okay so you say you can remove the headlights without pulling the bumper? how would you go about doing this? do you have a video? im not talking about the bulbs i mean the whole housing

The vent thing that’s on the front of the car that’s connected to the bumper

If I need to get access to remove the fender. Do I need to remove that bumper bracket as you did. Or just the three clips in the liner and pull out the cover to get access to the fender bolt where it meets the front bumper cover?

So I knocked the front air vent or whatever it’s called out of place,’. How do I pop it back in?

to change a light bulb tho?

Where could I buy a new one of these ?

dennis schneider You may be able to change the high beam and side marker bulbs without removing the bumper, but you will need small hands. To remove the entire headlight assembly, you have no other choice but to remove the screws and clips holding the bumper and then pull it out just enough so that the bottom of the assembly can clear the bumper. Just FYI, the bottom of the headlight has a piece of plastic that is about 1.5 inches that you can't see. That's why you have to move the bumper.

Does anyone know if the Ford Fusion front bumper from a 2017 will fit on the 2015/16 Fusion? I'm thinkin on buying the 17 bumper so I can upgrade my 2015 front bumper (just for the look of the square fog lights)

I just want to replace my damn headlamp bulbs! Is there an "easy" way? All I've ever read is that I have to remove the bumper, which is downright depressing considering I had my old car's headlamp change time down to under 30 seconds...

What does that last electrical connection do? Is that for the "hood latch" dash warning light? I removed my bumper to add a tow bar base. Put the bumper back on and now my "Hood Latch Light" stay on all the time. Trying to figure out what went wrong. Hood latch works fine, just the warning light stays on.

It can be done with out removing bumper but, trying to line the lights up is another issue.

i'm convinced they designed it this way so that you would have to take it to a ford dealership and pay a ford mechanic take it off. there is no need to have to do all this just to take off the bumper cover other than what i just mentioned. it's all a marketing ploy between the car companies and the dealerships.

I could not load the video for some reason but does anyone know the name of or part number for the black plastic clips that hold the bottom most accent trim pieces to the bumper? There are 8mm hex screws but then there are black clips (look like a pin that pushes into and locks in the trim pieces). I tore part of the right side trim away but as I looked underneath it seems if I could get my hands on these clips I could re-attach it myself. Thanks!

You say you don't need to do this to change the bulbs,.....can you elaborate on this, please? The Ford engineers that designed this should be publically shot in front of all Fusion owners.

What does removing the two brackets on either side buy you? Seems unnecessary unless I'm missing something.

@happywrenching

7 жыл бұрын

Valid question - you are right, technically the brackets should not have to be removed. Notice that those brackets have plastic hooks that clip into the end of the bumper cover. I removed the brackets as a precaution. Those plastic hooks become brittle as the car ages and you run the chance of breaking them as you remove the bumper cover. Removing the bracket first ensures that nothing breaks.

Just a heads up for 2017+ sport owners extra bolts and clips and remove driver wheel. And good luck lol.

Thank you SO MUCH for making this video! :)

Nice clear concise video, thanks.

I really loved your video.

You forgot to mention the wiring harness attached to the bumper that will snap and break if you don't know it's there and one side of the bumper comes off when you take the 37th bolt out. I learned this the hard way and now my outside air temp reading defaults to 50 degrees at all times when driving my 2014 Fusion. I hate this car with a passion. Plastic bumpers should never require 16 bolts, screws, and clips/brackets.

OMG !!! Nice job (from France)
