The Great Quest for Headlights

Check out the H11 to H9 conversions. 2 Tabs to cut, one plastic @ the connector and one metal @ the bulb's base. You would be going from 55w to 65w and about 1350 lumen to 2100 lumen. The fiesta's headlights have a shield for the bulb so it "should" be fine.

Edit: The bulb runs "harder" so life would be shorter...

Edit2: Not my vid. but here's a clip of what I'm talking about. You could also use hand tools as per other guides.

I have a set of H9 sitting on my bench waiting. I got too many little things on the go right now. You can do everything in the video with a set of wire cutters and small file or exacto (careful)

Doubt that will happen. But, I'll cross my fingers for you.

The fist is only a year and half old in the states . I figure give it another year maybe they will come out ? The FosT has aftermarket options for 3-400 dollars .

 

[Chris G]

There are options out there from what I've gathered talking to various retrofitters. However, nothing HID-ready.

Saw this in another forum relating to LED bulbs for our headlight.
The cutoffs does not look bad.

Just some clarification if possible...

Im in the UK so my Fiesta has what they call "projector style" headlights. Does this mean I can drop HID's straight in and they'll be fine and cut off will be all good etc?????

In theory that is correct but it has not been tested here.
I know of only three people who have Euro headlights here in the US.
They are still using the supplied bulbs.

that is pricey though.. got my pairs of euro lamps for half of that price

Do you have pics of the headlights? Thanks in advance!

 

[PhoenixM3]

Only when they're not re-aimed properly.

Exactly. How many people are blind in the EU/UK because of these? None.

Ok, thanks. I think I'm just going to buy HID's and see whats what. Any recommendations?

I use the HID-GUY in San Diego, California.
I don't know if they are good for you.
Price is under $100.00 fully warrantied and I have never had a failure.

One note however, with HIDs, you will not be able to use the auto lamp feature.

That's only true if your wiring does not include a trigger and a relay.

 

[D1JL]

That is correct.
I guess I will add that relay.
