2017 Ford Escape SE fog lamp & turn signal assembly removal

DISCLAIMER: This is my first every 'how to' video. Be gentle.

NOTE: At 3:03 in the video, I said it was a T42 torque bit to adjust the fog lamp vertical beam. It is a T40 (didn't have my glasses on and YouTube is telling me that I can no longer add annotations).

After reading a post on the FordEscape.org forum on changing the fog lamp bulb, or the lower turn signal bulb that is in the same assembly as the fog lamp, I decided to make this video to clearly demonstrate what other posters had only described in words (or with pictures which only showed the before and after).

I was trying to get in behind the lamp assembly so that I could connect a NOCO Genius Port Plug to an extension cord (with three ports) that I ran up to the battery, where I plugged in a Battery Tender Jr. I then also plugged in my block heater. I mainly wanted the Battery Tender Jr. to provide a small, constant charge to the battery as my BlackVue DR900-2CH dashcam had drained my battery to 12.0 V a few times and stopped recording in parking mode.

Tools used:
- an old vinyl coated hook (for leverage)
- Tresalto Auto Trim Removal Tool Kit - http://a.co/d/6xQtkBW
