Hi, I have a mk2.5 Focus, and I was messing around the headlight connector, and I discovered a unused connector, but I wanted to know what was the function of it and I have searched on the web but I cant figure it out, so I created this topic to know if any one here can discover or knows its function.

    These small connectors are only used on the adaptive headlights and HID headlights. On cars with normal halogen headlights these connectors are not used or not even present.

    Your car seems to have the complete engine bay wiring loom for adaptive or HID headlights. Your headlight connectors do also have all wiring in place. Usually a car with normal halogen headlights does have a wiring loom with only the necessary wiring in place.

    Yeah I think that you are right because I got to search more and I figured that they are for the HID and AFS headlights regulator motors. ;)

    Now just to find the units (and the pennies for them!!) and make use of the wiring!

    HID or AFS, that is the question....

    Hi, the opposite happened to me. My car does not have the connectors and the headlights I bought second-hand have them. My headlights are not HID. They are normal H1 and H7. All the lights work for me. But the motors to move the headlight up and down do not work for me. Does anyone know if they are related to those wires?
