i was thinking the same thing lol he must be a big fan of Pitbulls new song ''eh yes''

when removing the unit,

ensure that you catch the spring tab with the screwdriver and not the actual light unit itself,

because if you pull the unit instead of compressing the clip,

you will buckle the clip, leaving it harder to remove,

and if you are fitting some LED Bulbs to the units, i would recommend to switch on your lights when fitting the LED Bulbs, because they only work when inserted in one direction and you will know if they are working instantly when you have your lights switched on, instead of possibly having to fit and remove them again to tourn the wedge of the bulb around to the other direction.

but if i was to condense all of the above important information in to one word it would have to be ''yes''

they would mate,

but they are very bright, perhaps these would be more suited to your needs for the reg plate fitment

i have them in my focus and they are a nice 6000k white illunimating the whole reg nicely.

and remember when fitting to put the lights on, and if the led doesnt illuminate when you put it in the first time,

then pull it out and turn it around then plug it it and it will work.

i have some pictures of what the reg plate light units look like inside the panel on the focus,

and your light units are the same in the fiesta so here they are just to give you an idea of how they are sitting inside the panel.

I use these in my focus for, rear reg, boot and foot well.

They are bright but I've put pics up here of before and after and they just seem a nicer light than the older bulbs. Had them in what 6 months now? not been pulled and had an MOT now and they passed fine.

As shown in the picture put an Allen key inside or a small thin screwdriver and push the metal clip towards the light and it should slide out.

First time I tried this I just forced the light out and the metal clip just popped off was a pain trying to fish the clip out to put it back on!

Take out old bulbs - insert new bulbs :P

The 2 metal pins on the bottom should fit in the same place as the old bulb came out from.

Be aware that as LED Bulbs they are polarity specific.

If they don't work at first then turn them around in the holders.
