Haz93 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Haha now that's devotion :P No worries mate, hope you get your PC sorted. Mine broke over a year ago and still not needed to buy a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigante Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Worryingly I've just noticed my fog light has filled with water :/ Funny you say that mate, when I took my red fog unit out it had water in too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Ryan Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Funny you say that mate, when I took my red fog unit out it had water in too How do you remove the lights? Ours will probably be similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 How do you remove the lights? Ours will probably be similar? Easy mate just get on your knees, stick your arm under your bumper around the back of the light unit n feel for this tab Give it a squeeze n push the light unit out as you do. Simple ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Sorry mate just realized the tabs are different on the 2.5 unit but still works the same, there's a tab either side of the unit which you will still be able to feel, squeeze em both in toward the middle of the unit n push it out ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigante Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Sound mate. You should be easily able to go by feel from sticking your arm underneath, it's all I do. If you really have to just put something on the ground n get on your back under the car to stick your head under lol like when I wired the second reverse light.

Brigante Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Pretty much mate yea, was less than pleasant! I want this offside clear foglight: Lol why weren't it pleasant mate? How much water was in it? Just get the 20quid none genuine ford unit I linked, it looks exactly the same so once it's in you'd never know. Also, if you ever do decide to do the second reverse light (cause it's really a pish easy n well worth mod) you will have to cut a hole in the markings on the back anyway so no point paying extra for the genuine one. Then with the 10quid you saved, get this red cree fog bulb http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120925682137?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Spock Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 After reading this tread, I began to dislike the unclean look of one red and one white lights on my car. I did not go all the way with reverse lights on both sides. Just exchanged the red one with a reverse light and equipped it with a red Cree. Looks better end works fine: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigante Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I sure will, it would be nice with a double Cree reverse light. do it mate its surprisingly easy and relatively cheap at around 70quid including the cost of the clear unit which you've already got the results are immense 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vince_13 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 quick question i fitted my new lens, now im thinking of creating the dual reverse mod, ive got the second bulb holder and will use the original mounting support from my original light and glue it on but how is best to wire to the new bulb holder? ive been looking to find some oem female connectors that will fit in, and get some suitable crimps to provide insulation but cant find anything any advice? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Probably your best bet is to head to a local breakers with wire cutters in hand and see if you can find a donor car with either the reverse or fog light looms intact then cut off a good 6 inches of wire with the connector to give you enough tail to work with. Any Focus from 2008-2010 will have the same connector on fog side and reverse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
