SImply want to replace the headlight. Seems like an inconsiderate engineering design to require the batteries to be removed to replace a headlamp. Is there a simpler way?
Yeah, this is a bummer especially on the the left side... You can loosen the batt hold-downs and leave the batteries connected, giving you a little more room to work. You may want to keep clear of the positive terminals... Either that or submit to poor engineering and pull the batts... Oh well.. Good luck on this..

Turn the engine off, open the hood, and disconnect the negative battery cable (--) with your pliers.
Locate the power distribution box against the firewall on the driver's side of the engine compartment. Flip up the latch and remove the plastic cover.
Determine which headlight fuse you want to replace. The 2001 Ford Focus uses four headlight fuses--one for each headlight. Fuse number 16 is for the passenger side low beam; fuse number 17 is for the driver's side low beam. Fuse number 26 is for the passenger side high beam; fuse number 27 is for the driver's side high beam.
Grasp the fuse with your fingers and pull it straight out of its mount. Insert the new fuse in its place. Replace the plastic cover and reconnect the negative battery cable.
