jgriff Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Yes mate its the 2.5 you've got. I've got mine fitted 8 months now and haven't had a problem. I've since fitted 8000k bulbs to them and make a great improvement with no problems with mot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhysd1 Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 yeah thats the same ones i want is the 8000k and they are fine on the MOT yeah? how hard is it to fit the new earth wire too? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgriff Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Had my mot for the first time two weeks ago and it flew through. Once you've got them focused correctly you'll have no problems. Adding the extra earth is a piece of cake. The blanking piece on port 8 just pops off and you feed the wire in. Then either splice into the earth wire in the loom or earth it to the body like i did, so its easy undo if i ever decide to sell the headlights (which is highly unlikely) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhysd1 Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 happy days haha how do u get them focused properly though? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgriff Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I got a mate of mine to check them before it went in and although they needed slight adjustment he said they weren't much off. However this is the mot in Ireland, don't know how strict they are in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhysd1 Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 great haha i hope they should be ok do they just secure to the framework the same as the original ones? and did you have to modify the bodywork at all? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgriff Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 No very same fixings, clips on bottom and torx screw on top, that's it. For me who knows nothin bout car electrics it took me 15mins from start to finish when fitting these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhysd1 Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 thank u =) ill put some pics up once these changes have been made =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 If a sharp eyed MOT inspector spots that the lights are over 6000k they may fail them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz93 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Found it very straight forward to fit the DRL, I think I read in Preee's guide that you need to drill a hole behind the foglight surround to run the cable through to the LED's but I didn't need to do that, there are a few holes that will fit the wiring through without needing to drill anything. The wiring was simple enough too, just positive negative and one splice for the dimming feature. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/09-FORD-FOCUS-4D-Sedan-DRL-WHITE-LED-FOGLIGHT-DAYTIME-RUNNING-LIGHT-LAMPS-/220963630409?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3372756d49#ht_4036wt_939 Thats where I got mine from :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 thank u =) ill put some pics up once these changes have been made =) The controllers for the DRL's will fit on to the back left side of the battery box too if you wish to fit them that way.
