GothicRebel Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Bought this off eBay 2 x Xenon White - ERROR FREE CANBUS W5W T10 501 LED SIDE LIGHT BULB 5 SMD And I'm not sure if this is the right fitting for side lights reg number plate lights? I can't check on my car as I'm at work. If not hopefully the seller will exchange them for me :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesm182 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 They're not the correct ones for your front sidelights or number plate lights. You need 501/W5W (same thing) bulbs although weirdly your description has that in it. They look like this and are push to fit: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-OSRAM-W5W-5w-501-LED-DRIVING-BULBS-COOL-WHITE-6000K-COLOUR-NEW-/310806560476?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item485d83bedc Osram ones are a little more expensive but they're great quality. I have them in my sidelights and number plate lights and I'm very happy with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I thought it was either festoon bulbs (defo on the MK2) or 501 wedge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgsy Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Yes 501/W5W I have currently got some of these installed as I hada couple hanging around, but they don't look great when the lights are off due to the colour of them. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290699764948?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 So I have ordered some of these so they match the black surrounds in the lights http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271199710181?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 MK1 Focus numberplate light bulbs are festoon, side light bulbs are W5W. Those bulbs appear to be 21w's for brake or reverse bulbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesm182 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Yes as far as I'm aware it's 501s for the sidelights and number plate lights on the MK6 Fiesta. Same on my MK2 Focus... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesm182 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Actually having said that I did fit some festoon LED Bulbs into a 57 plate Fiesta ST once so not sure if they're different for facelift/pre facelift. Perhaps the OP will need to check or someone with a 2003 model can confirm.... Pretty much all fords have 501 sidelights though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesm182 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Oh sorry I was looking at the Fiesta in your photo! :P In that case it will be the same as mine with 501/W5W's front and rear... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GothicRebel Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Yeah I've a focus now. So this bulb Won't fit my focus. I'm guessing that bulb isn't a w5w 501 like I asked for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
