  • By standard, no. But if you put HID bulbs in them, then yes, you can have xenon lights.

  • They aren't bi-xenon are they? I like the look of them. Extremely tempted infact!

  • So, I just bought them...the LED ones, from my link in previous post. Since there are 4 of these in each circle -> 8 in one headlight -> 16 in both of them, you would need two packs from this pa

Thinkso, the bloke didnt say they was but i stood next to him as he done em n they looked dead low lol compared to where he raised em to. Knew they would be

Its always advised you get new headlights properly aligned anyway :) it was the same with mine they were dead low aswel but ive found since he done it my main beam seems too high :/ think its the same adjuster screw. Im thinking about getting a set of morette twin headlights anyway :) http://www.morette.co.uk/scpro/morette/productscategorycar.asp?manumodel=331&parentcat=16&parentcatname=Full+Headlights&cattype=y&manufacturer=Ford

just noticed from me photos that since being aligned, now the other high beam is bright than the other :blink:

Probs just the direction the bulbs pointing :)

Could it be the bulbs or is it a fault with the lights remove the dull one and put an original in and see if its the same or not

The headlights looking good mate cant wait to get my car finished

I know I'm resurrecting a thread from last year here but I just wanted to ask if the rings in the headlights look as white in real life as they do in these pics? From the stock pics on the website it actually looks quite orange but yours look like ice white?

If there not ice white; alltronix.co.uk specialise in led replacement for the bmw halo style bulbs so chances are you will pick up some cree replacements

I'm not sure if the rings are user replaceable but thanks for the tip. I may have to purchase some new headlights for Xmas :p

Rings themselves are not, but you can change the bulbs in them. I have the same headlight for about a month now :) ... however, I'm not sure which bulbs to buy yet, I have to check them properly. I also would like to change them into something more LED-ish :D

I thought these style of headlights were illegal...? I looked at some a year back for my Mk2.5 and somehow got the impression that they were illegal. :/

It's illegal to use them as DRL...I mean the angel eyes circles, they're only for parking lights...otherways they're perfectly legal ;)

Let us know if and when you change your bulbs, would love to see which kind you get .

I will...myself I'm very curious about the result, I actually never seen bulbs so small in car, so I only hope they make LEDs this small...

If you wouldn't mind, could you maybe put up a pic of the type of bulb it is from your headlight unit ? Maybe one of us might know which type it is.

Yeah, no problem, I try to put it up today when I come home from work...if I remember correctly, something is actually writen on the spare bulbs that came with the headlights, maybe it's even the type of the bulbs...I definitely have to have a look at them :)

So, as promised, here is a pic of the bulb, €1,- coin for measurement...

Writing on the bulb says 12V & 2.3W ... I spent quite some time searching for various types of bulbs for my Focus, but I don't remember seeing these anywhere...but I would be very thankful for a type name, or even a link for LED bulbs like this.

Thanks ;)

EDIT: ok, so this is weird, I found them on eBay, I don't know what I searched for before, but yeah, there are some for sale, even LEDs, but I'm not very sure about fitting the LEDs in the ring's bulb socket...I guess I'll order some and check it, but since they need to come all the way from China, it'll take some time :D

Here they are, I searched just for "12V 2.3W":
