Marky146 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 On 11/12/2021 at 6:04 PM, Newbie229 said: My front passenger side spot light on my 2018 Fiesta has stopped working. Are the spot lights the same as the fog lights? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I want to be sure before ordering. Also, reading the manual, the front fog lamp is H11 specification. The manual states "You cannot separate the fog lamp bulb from the bulb holder". Does this mean I have to order this from Ford? What T'other Mark said. Don't forget the legalisespeak nowadays to stop you drinking battery acid or whatever. They have to cover every idiotic opportunity out there! Most modern bulbs are a glass bulb in a metal shaped pressing with spade pins out the back. It's just to stop you trying to pull the glass out and cutting yourself on the result. Some modern blubs now have the glass, the metal (which acts as a heatsink/protector) and a plastic assembly all together. Again, the Lawyer crap is to ensure you are aware of this and remove the assembly and unclip at the right point. Just make sure you don't touch the glass part and take the new one out first to see what is what. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you mean these?I replaced my standard fog light globes with H11 LED,so that I can use as DRL(they are designed to be used as DRLs.)

VALLEYVEGAN Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 My 2018 1.0 ecoboosts headlamps are not very bright, I assume they have a bulb that could be upgraded?, what would everyone suggest brand wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesdave Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Have a look on page 9 of this thread, it seems the low beam is sealed and high beam is replaceable , which doesn't help if you're needing a better, brighter ( low beam) light !

I think there was a cross over point where Mk8s came with replaceable halogen dipped beam bulbs, and at some point it was changed to a sealed led bulb for the low beam. if the dipped is halogen, they could buy a more powerful halogen bulb, or have a look at the autobeam options.

Wesdave Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Although I've just read that the bulbs can be changed without removing the headlights! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hackney Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Just purchased these as a replacement for my OEM high beam.$35.00 delivered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VALLEYVEGAN Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Interested to see a few people who have said that you can change bulbs without removing the unit. I had a quick look today between showers and the low beam is the one at the back right?, doesnt look like much room for my big hands, the rubber cover comes off easy enough, but how do you get the bulb and holder out?

I don't suppose anyone knows what bulbs are used to illuminate the footwells? I picked up my Fiesta Zetec S today, and whilst the cup holders are illuminated red, the footwells are lit up with standard yellow bulbs. Has anyone been able to replace them with a red alternative? Thanks in advance. Lewis Did you ever get around to this mate? If so could you reccomend, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackney Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Just found a very interesting discrepancy.My owners manual clearly states that the high beam globes are ‘H15’,so I went & ordered a pair, but when I pulled one out it is actually a H1.Really weird.So I have ordered a pair of Narva H1’s + 100.Pays to check!

Retired Terry Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I have a 2014 Fiesta and I would like to up grade the headlamp bulbs to LED's. I have done the the side light and the dim dip headlamp bulbs but I am not sure if the bulbs are H7 type. as the car is fitted with day running lights. Any advise or recommendation are welcome. Thank You. Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
