m4tth3wb Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Hi all, I own a Focus ST 2008 facelift and by standard I don't have the feature where the sidelights come on when unlocking the car via fob and vice versa! Wondering if there is a way to fit something or change something myself in order to have this feature. I think it's standard on the 2009 models! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Sidelights or indicators if its indicators its Standard on 2006 models such as my zetec double flash when locked single long flash when unlocked it can be switched on with ford software that some on here use or ford can do it themself if you mean the sidelights ide beg the question why bother it serves no real purpose im sure its only an option if you have auto lights and wipers fitted the mrs dads cmax has it and it serves no use to be honest unless you live in the middle of nowhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Do you mean puddle lights that shine from under the wing mirrors? Easy enough to retro-fit with a bit of wiring and time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giwrgos_ath Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I would imagine he means something similar to the fiesta and other cars, where the side lights come on when you unlock it and stay on. I believe it also happens on the versions with the mirror puddle light. Can we somehow force the side lights to come on like the puddle ones? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loz Cheung Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 is it on your trip computer menu? come to think of it im not sure if i even had it on my 2008 Zetec as i used to use the 'follow me home' function a lot more on that car instead come locking...

davefc Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I have a mk3 with this fitted and yes it puts the sidelights on when unlocking the car. But it serves no purpose at all, unless you parked in a dark field and it shows where the car is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 If you pull the main beam when you switch off it stays in for 30sevonds after you lock the car to guide you home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefc Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Wow, just been and checked. It works. I read the manual, well obviously thought i read the manual. Thanks and sorry for hijacking your thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greggp Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I have a 2008 titanium with auto lamps and wipers. I use the follow me home feature where you pull back stalk and lights remain. Is it possible to turn on the side lights from pressing unlock on the fob? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 If you were to run a feed (and possibly relay) from the courtesy light circuit to the sidelight wiring then yes. A bit of ingenuity and head scratching would be needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
