So can this kit (awesome by the way!) be fitted straight away to my facelift (07 plate) Fiesta ?



I guess so I had mine fitted when they did my lowering springs but i guess it's a pretty straightforward job.

Does it work exactly the same as my 'normal' headlamps do now? I.e, same switch, main/high beam etc?



Yes


Quote:

AND! Do the sidelights stay the same or will they need replacing? I don't really want to do that because I've got some fantastic white/blue ones in at the minute! I'm guessing this kit is just for the headlights (main & dipped beam?)



Your sidelights remain, it's just the main one that will be replaced. Will be perfect with the white/blue ones you already have

Sorry for all the questions!!



No worries, that's what we're here for

Thanks mate, that's great!

Really appreciate your help!

I'll be taking mine to a garage to put them on for me. Wouldn't have a clue where to start myself!

By the way, has anyone fitted the Bi-Xenon H11 HID kit for their fog lights? Would it look a bit too much/over the top do you reckon? Not sure if you're legally allowed to have HID Bi-Xenon fog lights?! I'd love to have them to match my headlights but I wouldn't wanna look stupid!!

TBH they would be too powerful and dazzle other road users (I presume your going to use them when not really needed)

Yeah that's what I thought Adam. Would defo be over the top I reckon.

I'll have to have a look for some white/blue H11 bulbs to match the 6000K HIDs. I wanted the Philips' Blue Vision (that actually light up a fantastic white) ones but they don't do them for the H11 fitting! Shocking!

No they were bright white, I'm pretty sure they were the osrams

So if you get this HID conversion kit does it work with the standard bulbs that come?
