Jorg Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 When I bought my 2017 focus Titanium I remember the dealer saying that another nice thing about the titanium models are the LED day lights. I never actually checked until today and couldn’t see any LED day lights. Is there anything broken or was he just wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevHUK Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 You should have DRL, but they only work if you have your car lighting set to automatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillyallan Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Yeah meant to have drl and doesn't need to be in auto setting.Someone in here a while ago also had drl missing but had an extra goodie in adaptive cruise control so maybe various options out there.Check see you have other titanium options though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastachaz Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Think all from.2016 check if you have led stripes on top of headlight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 The Focus MK3.5 was available with 4 different type of headlights: * Halogen headlights without DRL. * Halogen Headlights with halogen DRL (H15 dual filament bulbs for combined DRL/high beam). * Halogen Headlights with LED DRL. * HID Headlights with LED DRL. Which headlights are installed depends on the market (country) and the trim/option level. The European type approval of the Focus MK3.5 is the same as the Focus MK3 type approval. This type approval was awarded in 2010 before the DRL lights became mandatory. This means that vehicles produced according to the Focus MK3/MK3.5 type approval do not need to have DRL lights. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorg Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 I checked again and had a close look at the headlights. No LEDs and can’t see any strips in there. I noticed I’m the only 17 plate Focus without them I could see. I found this document on the ford webpage which says I should have them as standard feature: https://www.ford.co.uk/content/dam/guxeu/uk/documents/feature-pdfs/FT-Focus.pdf i always have the lights on automatic and don’t have any other extra features.

EddyOS Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 You could check ETIS and see what he build sheet says? https://www.etis.ford.com/ You'll need to register as 'Register as an IO' if you don't have an account already but it's handy to see what options you have/don't have on your specific build 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just registered and looked it up. It says: Front and Rear Lamp LED Black headlamp bezels. I can definitely see the black bezels but Now LED lights. When I have the car on auto headlights there are no lights at all during the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it build for the UK market or for a different market (for example Cyprus)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddyOS Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 OK, looked up a plate from Autotrader for a 2013 (63) Titanium and ETIS has this entry - Less Daytime Running Lamps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brochure would suggest that everything from Zetec S and above should have DRLs...hmmm MK3.5 Brochure BUT page 25 only seems to highlight the Titanium X as having them...

EddyOS Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 However, the latest brochure on the Ford website says that both models have DRLs Current Ford Focus Brochure And this isn't the 2018 Focus AFAIK (that's not online yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_Andy_M Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 When you put your side lights on or unlock the car do you get a halogen bulb light up? If so then you don't have LED running lights and the option was never added to the car. ETIS isn't always accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 My 2015 Titanium doesn't have Drl's and I doubt the 2017 Titaniums have them as a standard item either. They are part of appearance pack as far as I know. I'm going to look into fitting Xenon's maybe next year when my warranty with the dealer is up. Will not bother with the washers as what use is a bit of water been sprayed onto the lights going to achieve 🤔! I Will keep them clean anyways.

Bennyboy1985 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 The DRLs come as part of the appearence pack on the Titanium model, i had it added onto my 17 plate. You got larger alloy wheels, tinted windows and DRLs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
