Ive been getting on well with my Hids which I think are the same as them. Done about 1k miles with them so far. Not as good as the OEM on the Audi but good enough to keep me happy lol

Hids install. Needed to fit them upside-down to avoid the "black line" affect. 

These are the lower 43k OEM look bulbs with 35w ballasts.

Ah right I see. I fitted mine with the h7 pin facing down like all reflector headlights apart from some Renaults. I don't gave the black lines but always felt the aim is to low even from factory with them set at the highest setting.

Looking good Willy, yet to see one in the flesh but from pictures they look amazing but also very smart with the 5 doors.

Car's looking good. Seems you have found a new love!

What was wrong with the LED H7s that you got? I was thinking about getting them myself, as I don't want the hassle from Ford should I install a HID Kit.

One of the ballasts started playing up so returned them for a replacement. So far no contact from the company so I've started a PayPal dispute.

Any regrets about getting the ST over the Titanium? 

None at all.

Personally I found the LEDs to be no better than the osram Nightbreaker laser bulbs I'm using now. Hids on the other had are a huge improvement.

Thanks. How did you find the LEDs compared to the candles that Ford install?

Good question. 

The LEDs are way better than the stock bulbs 👍

So the the STs developed its first fault.

I had my suspicions that the seat was reclining on its own and read up that other members have experienced the same.

I marked the adjuster with blutac and low and behold the knob turned about 45° in the last week.

Looks like a trip to the dealership soon 😔

The seat problem is certainly on my list of gripes.  I have a 3 door though.

You'd expect the later seats to be better but doesn't look like it.
