vince_13 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 does anyone know if the interior lights on my mk2.5 zetec are interchangable with different models, i.e st, fiesta? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Most of the lights are interchangeable but some from the mondeo are a different fixture. Rule of thumb, if the light is two pieces i.e. Light casing and a lens that clips into it then it will fit the Focus. Like this- Some of the mondeo ones are one piece with the bulbs under fold out reflectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince_13 Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 yeh i found that to my surprise that they come apart haha i thought id broke it, the only reason i ask is if im going to replace mine (broke the switch) why not upgrade it and have more functions than a single bulb quick search throws up this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-MONDEO-MK3-INTERIOR-3-BUTTON-MAP-LIGHT-2004-2007-/230913303708?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35c381649c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidfirst Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 you should be able to find something cheaper than that - e.g. I have just fitted one of this style http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-MONDEO-MK-3-INTERIOR-LIGHT-WITH-MAP-LIGHT-AND-INTRUSION-SENSORS-12236770-/160931973898?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item25784b0b0a & that cost me £10.00 delivered from eBay.

It has an LED festoon and two blue/white map bulbs in it (I'll post a picture in a bit). It has a small chunk missing on the white casing but when fitted you won't see it at all. Just p/m your address and I'll stick it in the post asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cridling Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Looking to do this myself but notice my original unit ( zetec 2.5 ) has only 2 wires going to connectors but mondeo unit has 3 connectors does this matter ? also if I got one with intrusion sensors does it matter if the sensors are not wired in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 The third wire is probably a feed for a rear courtesy light. As long as you have a twin connector on one side and a single on the other you'll be fine. Leaving the alarm sensors unwired won't affect the light functionality at all.

cridling Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 OK thanks Stoney now to find one lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 If the sockets are like this you're fine. Note the third wire on the last picture (the wires came as cut offs from an old set i bought), the extra wire is the rear courtesy take off wire, it's purely a parallel take off from the live feed.

cridling Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Think I will need to check seem to think I have 2 connectors 1 is wider than other but don't remember 1 being L shaped lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 http://www.ebay.co.u...=item35c3801d96 Ignore the compatability chart saying it won't fit a Focus, trust me it will fit fine. Or this one- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2005-FORD-MONDEO-ESTATE-CENTRE-COURTESY-LIGHT-FREE-P-P-/121033020898?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c2e2155e2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
