Mental_Atom Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Right guys, here is my bulb plan so far: Dipped Beams: OSRAM Night Breaker Unlimited - http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/H7-OSRAM-Night-Breaker-Unlimited-110-Upgrade-Xenon-Headlight-Bulbs-pair.html?bulb_search=car Sidelights: OSRAM Halogen Cool Blue Intense Sidelight bulbs - http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/501-W5W-Osram-Halogen-Cool-Blue-Intense-Sidelight-Bulbs.html?bulb_search=car Main Beams: Wait, are the main beams H1 or H15? The sites all say H15 but everyone seems to say H1? http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/White-H15-Upgrade-Bulb.html?bulb_search=car - But these are really expensive so will probably leave for now. Are the stock main beam bulbs decent? Number Plate Lights: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-T10-W5W-501-194-168-Car-White-20-SMD-LED-Interior-Side-Light-Wedge-Bulb-Lamp-/390920555502? Indicators: SliverVision - http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/581-Philips-Silver-Vision-indicator-bulbs.html?bulb_search=car - Are the rear indicators hard to change/worth swapping? Map Lights: ?? Courtesy Lights: ?? Footwell Lights: ?? Anyone have recommendations for my missing lights above? And (I know you explained but I dont really get it), what is the difference between map lights and courtesy lights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1981 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Courtesy lights come on when you unlock and open the doors. One at the front, one in the rear. Map lights are 2 lights in the same unit as the courtesy light, one pointing at driver, one at passenger. You press them to turn them on. To read a map! I've left mine as they were, white, but changed the courtesy and footwells to red to match the cup holder. I'd definitely swap the indicators, they look much better than the orange factory ones.

matt1981 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Oh and Halfords do silvatec indicators for £10, and a little cheaper on eBay, no need to buy Phillips ones for the indicators, mine are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paramanic Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 these pics a took about 10mins ago so wont look as bright as they are at night! Also cant forget the Boot light :D which is very bright :D http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371013417114?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeZS19 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Defo get the Lockwood sill protectors Your bulb list is looking good, and I may copy it ;) aha The blue footwell lights would look good as they would match the dash better. Have a look a triple r composites website, they do a front splitter for the fiesta which sets off the car well I think, hopefully ordering one myself soon. Also if you havnt already, buy some decent car cleaning and detailing products! Got to keep it looks clean and shiney. I would recommend www.cleanyourcar.co.uk As they have great products at decent prices, really good service to :) Anyone know where to get the owners club stickers from? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paramanic Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Cheers mate lol The blue lights ship from Asia (can't remember where lol) can take a while to come some people on this forum didn't get them for 3weeks but when I ordered I got them within a week and it worked out £1.97 for a pair! Where if you went to his eBay page it worked out £2.98 that's you saving a 1/3 of the price ;) got the dipped beams from amazon they look good! Was going for the nightbreaker unlimited but the actual hours were like half from the osram cool blue lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviews seem to say they are :) I'm not gonna go for those upgrade H15s, they're not Road legal and I can't be doing with the hassle! Are the headlights actually easy to change? On my old fiesta it's a nightmare, you have to remove the airbox to do one side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
