www.powerbulbs.com are quite good and deliver very quickly. Have heard nothing but good comments from them. Philips Powerblues get good comments or there's an equivalent Osram.

It may seem like a lot of work, but it really is a lot easier than some, cars, less fiddly while trying to keep fingers off bulb

hey people...

i actually did change the globes in my fiesta... but i changed the parking lights (the small white lights) to blue LEDS. I had to take the grill off and unscrew the whole light housing, and then remove the little globes.

On a black fiesta the blue LEDs look unreal... but the problem is i got defected. The LEDs only cost 20... but the defect was 80. Since then i have put the original lights back in... until i can afford to pay the 80 everytime i get fined.

i was gonna play around and put white LEDs in... but the blue ones are too nice...

(ps i will try add some pics)

Blue parkers bring a car down to something no better than a cheap import or VN commodore, they dont look good, and they dont look classy. What looks decent are the diamond vision, the zenon look globes, they are a white light with a slight bluish tinge, but mostly a diamond white. Looks good where all out blue looks crap. Theyre dull, and they dont go at all with the rest of the headlights.
People get blue lights in the hope the car will look like a euro zenon headlight car, Question: What Merc or Beemer has Bright blue parkers??

/Rant off

what you want is a HID kit proper xenon lights where there is no filiments its all gas and you have a box that amps up your 12v into these globes and lights them

this is what proper euros and stuff have, kits cost from about $1000+

danny, you wont need to adjust the reflectors if you are just removing the headlight to change the globe and reinstalling the light.

the reflector adjustment shouldnt have changed at all..


also
they are a H4 globe, which is dual filament ( ie high and low beam..)

danny... have u seen what the car looks like with the blue LEDs in? It looks awesome... and it looks that way on any car... both me and the producers of the Fast and The Furious movies think so...

In the end everyone in entitled to there own opinion...

btw: blue LED parkers have nothing to do with the "euro zenon headlight"... since when are parking lights "headlights"?

The parkers in the fiesta sit so far away from the rest of the headlight i reckon it would look funny. Also youre speakin to someone who has his driving lights on with the parkers on a lot of the time and i reckon that bright blue parkers, and normal coloured driving lights would look dumb, thats all.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and my opinion is that blue parkers (or any other than normal colur) dont belong on any car.

Yeah the IS300, mate's Dad had one. Not a fan at all of the yellow. But they are the driving lights, a totally seperate unit. What im talking bout is all different coloured globes in the one headlight unit. Just my 2 cents
