JamieSMcC Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Hi, Just wondering if anyone has had issues fitting HIDs on a Mk3.5? I've had to buy bulb holders, but worried that all of the holders are listed for the Mk2 Focus and not the Mk3/3.5? See photos of issue and what I've got, just to see if these will do the trick. Cheers, Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Mk3.5 has reflectors as standard not really suited for HIDs. You could end up dazzling everyone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_Andy_M Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Please refer to this thread. Has a lot of useful information regarding the legalities of what you are going to do. Not only is your car an MOT failure, and a hazard to other road users, you're also effectively rendering your insurance void. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieSMcC Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 What about these? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262729961611 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are not road legal, will cause dazzle and probably void your insurance. Get yourself a decent set of normal bulbs. I used to have the GE Sportlight and they were a nice white colour, brighter than a standard bulb and also road legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieSMcC Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 I've given up haha, The adaptors I got don't fit the Mk3.5. Ordered a set of Philips bulbs recommended on Autoexpress... just hope they do a decent job of lighting the road up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
