Question

Answer 1

you can try this

 <div class="input-pilotage">
   <input type="text">
   <label> date fin : </label>
   <i class="fi-calendar"></i>
 </div>

//css
.input-pilotage input:focus + label {
    color: #005EB8;
}
.input-pilotage input:focus + label + i {
    color: #005EB8;
}

Answer 2

Your icon isn't inside the input field, that is how your CSS is described right now.

When you put the icon span after the input field, you can use the + selector to add css to the following element.

See this link https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/selector.html#adjacent-selectors

Answer 3

You can use input:focus + .fa css selector do accomplish the task. Notice that I've changed the <span class="fa fa-user"></span> to come after input element.
