STUG38 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Well finally got rid of the 2008 MK2.5 Focus Titanium TDCI and moved onto a 2014 Focus Titanium Navigator 1.0 ecoboost. Was disappointed to find it didn't have some of the toys I expected. Mainly DRL. But my question to anyone in the know is what can be retrofitted easily to this car and what would affect the remaining two years warranty?

Preee Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 You can fit the triangle DRL's off eBay, they will not effect your warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WES180 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 They are available from Ford for around £230. Also available are fog lights with intergrated DRL's, neither would affect your warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preee Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Example http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2Car-LED-Daytime-Running-Light-For-Ford-Focus-Lamp-DRL-2011-2012-2013-2014-MA141-/161724175681?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item25a7831541 Quite a few different designs and just see the above even cheaper at £34 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUG38 Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Thanks everyone. Ordered the DRL that Preee recommended. Does anyone have any ideas about the reversing camera that links to the Sony nav screen. Think the titanium x has it. Is it possible to add to titanium? Thanks.

Preee Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 There are two control units between the camera and the stereo, also needs to be 5" screen with input. And wiring harness. Our Russian friends have managed to change the firmware for the 4.2" screen to convert a video source, but very hard to get a hold of.

STUG38 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Thanks. Not as simple as just plugging a camera into the stereo then. Just realised the drl I ordered from the link above won't be suitable for my titanium as the panels are gloss and the drl are matt. Anyone know of any gloss ones on eBay? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I thought you said you were bothered about your warranty being affected Stu? I would have paid the extra and bought the genuine Ford units if i had 2 years warranty remaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randoms Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I think the genuine DRL's have the gloss panels, there pretty expensive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrissy66 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Hi Stu I bought these recently they are gloss finish work perfectly . Great fit and look awesome :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271867609097?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUG38 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Hi Joe. Yeah I ordered the lights. Waiting till the holidays to fit them. Chris. Thanks for the info. How did you fit yours? Bit unsure about where to put the 12v wire and the wire to dim to 50%. Any advice much appreciated. Thanks . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogo78 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I've been looking into this myself trying to decide whether to go for the funky angled DRL's like you guys have, or just to get some straight ones and mount them similar to how Ford do There are loads of guides on here - in one post somebody has uploaded the fitting instructions for the Ford units which should be the same as for fitting/wiring up these (roughly). I do know that the power has to come directly from the battery, and the wire goes to the sidelights feed i believe. Here's that post: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/61380-focus-mk3-oem-ford-nolden-drl-fitting-instructions/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUG38 Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Thanks. Ive read the same info as you. But in some guides I've seen people use an 'add a circuit' to piggyback off fuse 42 in the engine compartment. Any idea which is the sidelight wire? Not keen on splicing into wires or using scotchlocks. Are there any other ways to get the side light feed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUG38 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 Are these lights ok to go straight to the battery positive? I have nothing in fuse 42 to piggy back from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogo78 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I'd go with what the Ford Nolden guide from the previous posts states, unless you got differing instructions with the lights you bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
