Just looking for quick confirmation that this looks the same as the regular fog light inside, I haven't had time to take mine out yet, but it says it's matching OEM quality.

A stone flicked up and smashed my fog light some months back, I know it's happened to others on this forum too, so I thought I'd share this.

£23 is very reasonable, I've heard people have been quoted £70 and even over £100 for a replacement from Ford.

It come's without the bulb but these are cheap to replace anyway.

My bulb lasted around 5,000 miles and countless washes without the glass casing before giving in this week.

That's a good find at that price,

I can't confirm if this part is the correct one for you as the fiesta isn't really my field but i would request,

that when you do get your replacement while fitting the unit why not take loads of picture,

Then when complete pick out some of the pictures taken and add them to a thread on the site along with some text to explain the actions,

finally add a link to the place you bought your fog light,

for others to purchase and use your guide for fitting mate.

Takes a little time but helps allot of members B)

As long as they take the same bulbs as Ford oem fogs, I'd definitely get these ones if i.needed em. The webpage doesn't state what bulbs are used.

Lenny is exactly right, a few pics and a 'how to', even for a simple job, will give less experienced motorists the confidence to do these sorta jobs themselves. I know far too many 40yr olds that are too scared to remove headlights!!

Thanks for the support on this Danny

It's very simple to create a guide, you don't even need to think about the guide while your doing the job in hand, just keep taking pictures while you're working, all the way to the finish,

Then when you're finished, pick out a couple of the pictures that best display the process, upload them and write up a guide as to what you did then job done, even if the job seems simple others may find it useful, I've done one on changing the water jets on the car, which to me was a simple task but to others it may be a big deal, even if no one uses it, it's nice to see what the car looks like then the panels are removed.

changing dials

all very easy tasks when you have a how to in front of you.... but normally people would be scared to try.

I'm actually wishing I made more how to's for the Fiesta... done a few mods that could've had em :( ah well, thats my commitment on going :D

Unfortunitly we have to either log in or become a member of ffoc to view those guides mate :(

wish i had done one when i fitted my ST rear spoiler, so easy to fit, all i have is one picture with the spoiler off lol

main reason im on this forum is for guides and ideas .B)

Thanks for the advice, I was thinking of making a guide anyway!

I've just ordered a replacement fog light bulb from autobulbsdirect, and the surround from that amazon shop. Hopefully it all fits, and I'll make sure to take plenty of pics.
