How can I Fix my Ford Focus SE high beams?

Use a socket wrench to loosen the nut that is holding the clamp to the negative part of the battery (in my ’04 Focus, the negative side is on the right when you are facing the battery from the front side of the car). Once the clamp is loosened, yank the clamp upward until it disconnects (this might take a little elbow grease).

The “dimmer switch” is the lever to the left of your steering wheel that controls high/low-beams and the turn signals. You can get it at Pep Boys, Standard Autoparts, or a similar store for about $45. Now, to install the part: Make sure the car is off as are the lights, radio, etc.

The left and right low beams are wired in parallel.

How are the low and high beams wired?

The left and right low beams are wired in parallel. The high beams are also wired in parallel. So, if one side is working and the bulbs are good (you have already confirmed that), then most likely the connector is bad on the driver’s side.
