Default Installing driving lights on a Fiesta LX

Hi listers, last month I bought my wife a new fiesta LX. I think that the more up market models with the driving lights in the front skirt look awsome. Has anybody installed these on a LX. It looks like the switch and indicator on the dash is already there. Is it just a matter of visiting the local ford dealer and buying a kit??

All the best, all. Brian.

Hey Brian,

Yea in my opinion the driving lights make the front of the car look much better. Esp making the front lights less biggish looking. I think there is a write up on www.eurofordclub.com on a how-to and also with the list of parts you need.

Good luck!

I did it to my Fiesta and it was worth it. The switch is different to the LX one and is a bit fiddly getting into the dash but that is just because of the way it screws in. It just plugs into the loom as the Zetec and the LX (and probably all Fiesta's, except the new models) have the same wiring loom. You will need to get the lights, switch, wiring loom (that goes between the lights and plugs into the existing loom) and the light surrounds. It costs a little bit for all the parts but not too much.

Default Thanks blokes.

Thanks all, the link to the euroford club site has the perfect write up. All up it looks like about 380.00 worth of parts.

Cheers all, Brian. _2:
