Focus_ST-3 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 for those of you who have the wiring you may be able to fit the interior light with the submarine lighting and also the neon strip thingy along the passinger side dash,i tryed the interior light but didnt have the wire to power the submarine lights which must come on when you put the headlights on ;) what exactly is the neon strip which you refer to? is it only available on the titanium? anyone got any pics?

DanGull Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 It's not a neon strip - it's a very dim led strip as part of the ambient lighting package. It's fitted to the Titanium and the Zetec and goes with the submarine light and the red illumination in the cubby hole at the base of the dash. Personally, I intend to turn it off. See page 18 of the Fiesta brochure. You can download it from the Ford website if you won't have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard that the ambient lighting looks better in the brochure than in real life. Looks like a bit of a gimmick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irononreverse Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I have heard that the ambient lighting looks better in the brochure than in real life. Looks like a bit of a gimmick! If you're driving, you can't really see it because it's quite soft but it is nice just to define the dash a bit. The "submarine" lighting illuminates just enough for there to be a faint orange glow over the centre of the car and the two points for the lights are by the reading lights so you;re not fumbling about too much. Basically. I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue? Are they dim? My red ones were dim before I got my new LEDs. Why blue, may I ask? It sounds like that's awfully clashy. The standard white bulbs really look out of place.

It sounds like that's awfully clashy.The standard white bulbs really look out of place. They are subtle, but again enough light there so when you open the doors you can see everything. Blue and Yellow are my favorite colours, and cant really get nice yellow bulbs so got blue :) Doesnt really clash with anything because when they are on there is white light at the top part of the car and blue in the footwell, then when your driving it all turns red!

flyer Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I've just received a 2 pack of the white ones from the eBay link provided earlier, checked my car & it doesn't have the wiring or holders (58 plate Zetec S). Anybody want to save theirselves the wait to get these sent from the US / FE, drop me a line & I'll post them on for £2.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oniiko Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I might take those bulbs... just need to go check if I have the sockets. So as already requested - can those of you who have the socets and wiring please state whether you have any additionals such as climate control etc?

Lenny Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Ive just gone out in the freezing cold -3oC to check my footwells and i have the socket with the copper inserts but no power, perhaps a fuze is all thats nedded or their not wired, but why put in the holders surly it would be cheaper to put in the cable rather that the holder, wierd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Leak Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 It was exactly the same with my old Mondeo. Top range models got the wiring and bulbs. One step down just got the wiring, but no bulbs. Blame the "bean counters". My humble LX only had the mounting brackets, which were part of the standard bodyshell. However, it was dead easy to get a couple of bulb holders from a scrap yard and wire them in. But, you just wait to see how I had them wired up in the Mondeo and plan to do in my Fiesta!

calmcdermott Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Here you go guys and gals, i had to install my own as i didnt have any of the wiring, see the following link: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11992 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Leak Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Think to yourslefs for one moment, one person is saying it works, yet 3-4 people saying it don't....don't take a great brain to work out they could be telling lies? ;) Congratulations. You've just passed the entrance exam' to become a magistrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark t Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 So all new Zetec S have the wiring? I told my man today when I (finally) signed for mine, about the wiring being there, but no blubs, and he's going to look into it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
