JamesZS Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Hi guys and girls, Pleasure to be here! I have just bought a Zetec S in white and should be picking it up next weekend fingers crossed. Now, coming from a Seat and having the old Zetec S, which i didnt mod, I would like to ask a few silly questions. Do the newer fiesta's have the canbus system, and therefore all LED's purchase would need to be "canbus" friendly? Also on this note is there a guide for all the sizes of LED's needed for inside the car? My seat had 3 or 4 different sizes that were needed, and not knowing how many interior lights my new car has + sorting out the deal etc i forgot to take a look. A sour subject is HID's... i know they are illegal and dazzling etc, which is why i did not fit them to my Leon, but as the fiesta has projector headlamps is the dazzle gone, just like factory fit xenon headlamps in other cars? I know they would still be illegal, just a question... And finally, i have found a ford accessories pdf online and it had pioneer Speakers and a little woofer that it says can be installed into the newer fiesta... Has anyone done this without changing to another headunit and have people experienced better sound quality? Thanks for your time and looking forward to getting to know you lot! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011fiesta Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Personally I can't help you with those questions (maybe try the Fiesta section), but welcome to FOC James. Try to take some pics and let us know what your think once you have it. You'll be counting down the days soon, believe me. Paul :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Personally I can't help you with those questions (maybe try the Fiesta section), but welcome to FOC James. This is the Fiesta section :P LEDs work fine in the Fiesta (sidelights, footwell, interior & boot) and they are 501 type. No errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesZS Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 Thanks for the replies! I did think i posted in the right area. So the LED's dont have to be canbus friendly then? what about sidelights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011fiesta Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 This is the Fiesta section :P *Looks around* Oh! I thought I was in the intro area. lol, Sorry.

Thanks for your time and looking forward to getting to know you lot! :) As for HIDs, there not very dazzling compared to reflectors, however... I'd recommend not going higher than 6K and also keeping the set pretty low so they don't shine up past windscreen level type thing. And yes come the MOT 2012 rubbish blah blah they'll be illegal. A lot of haters on here to HIDs but I really don't care :) If you like them then buy them matey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orcomma Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 HIDs looks the dog's, but keep your halogens in the car just in case you have a prang and need to make a cheeky switch before your car is recovered and the insurance discover them (and say "computer says no" to paying out) edit: this advice is not E-marked and is for off road use only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesZS Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 That is all fine thanks for the replies... I am not bothered about having to switch but i am bothered about blinding others. My main reason for having them is the increased visibility at night. I would get 5k and make sure they are pointed down correctly. Projector lamps are rubbish with normal halogen bulbs i find. Can you guys advise me on any of my other questions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stellaartios Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I have Hid's but yes they are illegal as the law states they have to be self levelling and have headlight washers too , as for sidelights w5w 501 bulbs are what you need and they will not give you any problems wherever you decide to replace ( eBay ) as for the audio section i cant help , my personal opinion the stereo sounds the nuts especially with ipod , no need to use other Speakers unless you really want to !! Ps welcome to the forum , there are a lot of helpful members on here as i have found out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
