I'm confused which bulbs for mk3 focus

Featured Replies

Hi everyone

I'm new to the site and to owning a ford focus.

I don't know much about cars other than what I can see on youtube and google, hence why I am here :)

I have a ford focus mk3 12 plate.I would like to,if possible upgrade the headlights.

Do I need to replace the entire housing or just the bulbs? 

If it is just the bulbs then which bulbs, i have seen on halfords they require H7 but I have also seen on powerbulbs.com DS3 bulbs which supposedly fit the mk3 aswell.

there are so many different prices I presume you pay for what you get?

So as you might tell I am abit confused and would really appreciate your  help.

Thank you 

Tris



Hi, which spec is your Focus?

Most come with H7 halogen bulbs.  But the Titanium X and ST3 cone with HID Xenon bulbs which are the DS3.  

We'll need to know what you have now to advise any further. :smile:

Hi, yes you will almost certainly have the standard H7 bulbs.  

You can either buy brighter/whiter H7 halogen bulbs such as Phillips WhiteVision (my current choice) or upgrade to LED H7's.  Autobeam are highly recommended on here for LED's, but they aren't cheap!
