Replacing Headlight Bulbs

Featured Replies

I know theres a few topics about changing of headlights but I'm not any sort of petrol head, and I'm extremely scared of doing anything to the car so I thought I'd post to get a dead correct answer.

So, I've got a Fiesta Zetec 2010 plate and I'd really like to spend a bit of cash to make it look nicer then it already does.

I've read posts about HID kits, conversion kits, other types of bulbs, etc, legal, not legal.

So my questions are as follows,

1. What are my choices of bulbs (obviously being road legal 100%)?

2. Whats HID all about?

3. How easy is it to change the bulbs in the car?

4. Are there any choices of changing the rear bulbs as well?

5. Any other things I might be able to do to make the car look even better lol?

I'm really sorry that this is probably repeating past threads but I just want straight answers!

Hey, no not rude, thanks for the reply!

I've looked at other forum posts and they suggest visiting websites such as http://autolights.co.uk/ etc, but no detail on which bulbs would be suited to the Fiesta (or maybe I'm not reading them properly), plus how easy it'd be to install them, etc?

EDIT - Seem to be finding a bit more information the more I delve! Think I've been searching for the wrong terms!

German thread with lots of pics, you can use translate.google.com if needed ;)

changing lights is reasonably easy, you just have to be good at fiddley bits with reaching small things and putting them in small holes, or be patient!!

i chucked some xenon look halogens in mine and i think they look really smart!!

and if you want go OTT fit DRL's ;) like my pic on left!
