Easy to fit? Genuine? Thinking of a white face with blue numbers.

easy to fit no if youre lucky the speedo needle wont go funny on you done 1 b4 and wont do them again they look tacky on the focuis and blue dials mate youre having a laugh theres mega work involved in changing the face to blue which can lead to knackered dials and cluster best advice leave it weoll alone and save some cash new clusters aint easy to ghrt with the right mileage

I was thinking of doing this as I'd already changed the one on my old Renault Scenic but I've heard some horror stories about changing the Focus one so decided not to.

Lockwood dials are fantastic though. I went directly to the factory to pick my old ones up and they make them on the premises and do them for all sorts of exotic motors.

the focus dials are a pain you have to pull the needle out for the speedo etc and its a nightmare to do then when the white ones are in they look aout of place get some zetec ones mate and do it that way if you wanna do it then you will need to remove the clocks and open them up remove all the gauge needles by pulling them off carefully and pull the original ford backing off and replace with the lockwood one making sure its straight and lined up before replacing the pinsd again then simply swap the blue bulbs over and pray that everything works

Yeah, that's what I did with the Scenic. Took a picture of the position of the needles before removing them then used 2 teaspoons to remove the needles.

common issues with the focus are the dials are tight and take a bit of pulling but when put back they dont read correctly or dont read atall only other way is to make slits in the lockwood dial so you can fit it without removing the dials pain in the backside either way

I'm gonna leave it as it is.

When i did this i busted my dials up good and proper at night though they did look smart but the pain was when the car was doing about 60ish the clocks said it was doing about 145. End result was a brand new cluster and a car thats done 50,000 miles thats telling me its done 5000.

DONT DO IT!!
