Ford Escape The Ford Escape has been thoroughly updated, reinforcing the character and appeal that have made it America's perennial best-selling small sport-utility vehicle. The improvements nearly cover the spectrum, and inject a new level of refinement. We'd call the Escape a little truck among small SUVs. Its new styling deliberately invokes Ford's larger, truck-based SUVs.

On the back of the headlight, will see the holder for the bulb. It is a 1/4 turn and then pull it straight out.

Sorry hkerman, I have a 2003 but I don't think it is different. I guess I am not sure at what stage your at. It is a little more involved than one would think. To give a little more room to work take the wheel off on the side you are changing (I am not kidding). You have to remove the inner fender splash shield (the plastic inner fender inside the wheel well, below the headlight). Then locate the bulb holder and proceed as I mentioned before. Hope this helps!
