Zetec Ambient Lighting

Featured Replies

Hello,

I am buying a fiesta Zetec 62 reg (2013) in the next few weeks.

I am wondering if anybody knows whether this model would have ambient lighting? I can see that the 2015 Zetec does, but does this one?

Thanks

My 14 plate zetec fiesta has it!

If it's the prefacelift then probably not.

Sorry yes it's the facelift model with the grill. New design. So would it have ambient lighting?

It should have, check with seller ?

Seller didn't know that's why I'm asking here haha. Anybody got one?

The seller doesn't know ? ?

Ambient lighting is unmissable in the dark

Sounds iffy to me.

I'm buying it from people's which I believe is a franchise straight from ford, the seller just didn't know on the test drive whether it has it.

Does anybody know?

Zetec should have the strip above the glovebox, possibly the lights above the door pockets but not the illuminated cupholders.

It should bring up all the specs and if you have ambient lights it will say so.

Dont worry if yours has not got it,my 2013 zetec has and i cant see the point of it.

Thank you very much that's very useful, it does have it!

I know it's not the best feature, but it's a fancy thing to show off to friends.

Some spend loads of time and money adding ambient lights.

I'm very glad my ST has loads (door handles, door pockets, sills, footwell and headliner console).

I've got a 2015 Zetec - don't see the point of it either.. The passenger side glove box has a red light where as the rest of the lights are blue... Can't see the point in it?

I have it in my Tit but never really notice it (other than looking like Blackpool illuminations when you open the door [trying to flatten the battery]). More BS to go wrong IMHO.

I like it, reminds me of "Kit" from Knight Rider :rolleyes:

In all seriousness, I think the red led lights in the roof help a lot to see find objects at knight like a remote for garage door, but doesn't distract from driving

The seller doesn't know ? ?

I have a pre-facelift Zetec which has it. I used the menu to turn it off. I expect there are people that don't know they have it because it was turned off when they bought it. I expect some have bought it turned on and don't realise they can turn it off. I also expect some people have switched it unintentionally and returned to dealer with a "fault".

I like it. Nice n warmly.

Sounds great though, can't wait to get it. I'm assuming there's a button near the headlight switch to change colours/turn off?

Not on fiesta. I think focus let's you change colours etc.

On the US fiesta you can change the colour, over here it's just red, they will be on all the time unless you switch them off in the vehicle settings menu.
