I own a 2010 ford focus zetec s and i am wanting to upgrade the standard lights to xenon. From what i've read so far i believe you can just upgrade the bulbs (correct me if i'm wrong).

Basically i'm wondering what bulbs i should buy, i've been looking on ebay but the letter number codes confusing the hell out of me :wacko: lol.

Thanks in advance :)

    Not just the bulbs are needed, it's a full pack of ballasts and wiring too.

    You also need to fit headlights designed for zenon bulbs as normal reflector lenses won't focus the beams properly and will be an MOT fail.

    Forgot to ask but can h11 fog lamps fit? Says h8 on list but read somewhere they fit just brighter.

    H8 and H11 bulbs are exactly the same size and fitment. The only different is the wattage of the bulb. H8 are 35 Watts and H11 are 55 Watts.

    Both are allowed to use in the Focus MK2/MK2.5. Officially the Focus should have H11 light bulbs for the fog lamps.
