I think it sounds like the switch inside the door (found by the metal catch) which controls the interior lighting could be faulty or sticky?

Not sure about the clip - might be a new headlight im afraid unless you can secure it in place somehow.

Edit: Re reading your post again.. Did you mean manually turning off the light from switch on the unit?

Yeah since i changed the bulb you have to switch on and off from the light if you leave it on the middle which is door open close it just stays on

That does sound like a faulty or sticky switch in the door part. Cant remember where it is but looks like a small black rubber switch near the door catch.

On the Focus MK2/MK2.5 the switches are integrated into the door locks. If one of the switches inside the locks is broken or stuck the car not be locked also and there will be a "Door Open" message shown on the instrument cluster display.

If the car can be locked as usual and no message it is not a switch problem. In this case the problem is possibly caused by a defective GEM module/fuse box. I have seen before that LED Bulbs caused problems with the GEM module/fuse box. You could try first to disconnect the battery for about 10 minutes. This will reset the system and may solve the problem.
