Hids for Ecoboost Zetec

[Bennaz]

Hello guys 

I have noticed that when driving in the dark my standard Halogen bulbs aren't that great, I have heard about Osram doing good bulbs, but just think that Hids may be the best way forward. 

Do you think Hids are worth while or just go for some Osrams.

Thanks in advance!

Go for the HID's, you wont regret it.

While the Osram bulbs are better than the standard bulbs, they simply don't compare to the HID's.

It was the first thing I changed in my Fiesta because the standard bulbs were like driving with a candle

Haha! 

That is the exact problem I have @Zirk 😂

Did you get a kit and install it yourself or take it to a specialist?

The kit.....

About 3 years ago I bought a Polo & hated the lighting, so I purchased the HID Kit and also purchased the rubber boots as you need to cut a hole in them in order to fit the HID's & I didn't want to cut the original boots that came with the car.

They worked perfectly but when I traded in the vehicle I removed the HID's & now that's what I fitted back into the Fiesta.

It fitted perfectly including the old rubber boots which were the same size as what the Fiesta has so I didn't have to buy new ones.

The only crap part of the install was that you have to remove each headlight & the fact that the Fiesta has a different H7 bulb fitting which required me to get this holder to hold the HID bulbs in place.

Definitely a very good upgrade as the lighting is now amazing because the Fiesta has good reflectors and focuses the light correctly onto the road & not directly into the rear of the vehicle in front of you!

Will try to upload some pics later.
