Q: are these bulbs ideal for footwell lights?

"Oh no - not another footwell light question!" :P

I want to fit a pair of bright (and I mean BRIGHT!) red bulbs to illuminate my footwells. These (apparently) are the latest thing. I realise they're quite expensive - but they have a 12 month guarantee & I want something that's really nice and BRIGHT and RED.

Thanks for any info guys. I take it they will fit easily enough?

    Hi, I do not know about the Ebay red LED'S I purchased mine from http://www.teamtorquesteer.co.uk/fiesta-st...rior-bulbs.html

    they are very easy to fit and are more sturdier than the originals.

    Nope Bashful - not yet. Went to a different dealer in the end after telling original dealer to shove it up their ar*e!

    All I know is that it will "100% guranteed be here before Christmas"...

    Ford dealers are amongst the worst I have ever encountered.

    I dont think the Zetec S has the wiring in place. If you have a read of some of the other footwell lighting threads, that will confirm. I think you would need to add your own wiring in.

    I saw this because mine doesnt have the wiring after all :(

    I cant figure out from the product description: does this mean i have to make holes? (drill the interrior?) :blink:
