Default No Oz WS Fiesta's have rear interior lights so.................

I put some in.

Got these LED strips from Ebay




And experimented with putting them in different spots. I was going to put them above the rear doors but they shine into the kids eyes.

So I put them down the rear side.





They look better in person and are not even noticable in the day.

Oh and I wired them into the front dome so I can switch them on and off and have them only come on with the door opening.

Hahahahaha! Good one! Do they look cool at night, do they actually help much with the rear lighting issues?

Thanks for posting this up though, this is what the Forum is about. Sharing our info and findings!

Hey I like that idea. The Focus has the same issue with the rear lighting (unless you have a ghia or xr5). So its nice to see some peoples solutions.
