Smile All lights on Focus 2013 LW MKII

Hi everyone,

just need some advice on headlights, low beam, high beam, fog lights, basically all lights. I want to change my lights into white lights instead of yellow lights(so dull).. I realised the high beam aren't so bright at all.
But I don't want any HID kit as they cost alot. I just want to change the globes if it's possible.
Anyone willing to help would be really appreciated.

Thanks

For bright white light, Phillips Crystal Vision or Diamond Vision is what you're after.

Osram also have a good name, the Night Breakers are very popular too. http://www.osram.com.au/osram_au/pro...cars/index.jsp

DZ is on the money:

Find out what type of globes they are, can't go wrong with OSRAM Nightbreaker Unlimited, I've got them in my Fiesta.

I also recommend the Osram, I have been using these in a Pajero for many years. After purchasing a 2014 LW mkII I replaced the bulbs within weeks, the improvement was amazing. The bulbs were purchase from amazon UK and arrived within 7 days at half the Australian price. I changed both low and high beam bulbs.

I have also used the Phillips and whilst the light output from both was similar, the longevity of the Osram was much greater.

Cheers Mark

Whatever bulb you get it needs the E symbol on it that shows that it is ADR compliant. Alot of the white light bulbs are non compliant and can cause damage to the headlight lens over time.
