Fiesta ST mk7.5 Euro headlights

Yes they are plug=N=Play except to move one wire on each side of the car connector.

But they're still halogen projector right? Not HID.

Yes, that is correct.

I have had the Euro headlights on my car for almost a year now.
I would suggest you purchase from Trevor at Ford Parts UK.
Be sure to get the German units for LHD.
With shipping they come to about $800.00 for the set.
Many have been damaged in transit but Ford Parts UK has always made everything good.
They only come on chrome but they look and work great.
A minor wiring change is required to make the LEDs work.

Just FYI for everyone interested in these headlights...because of currency fluctuations and I see that it's down at nearly the lowest in the last few years, I decided to get a quote from fordpartsuk this morning. The cost for me to MD is $656.

That's for:

- 2014 Fiesta-Projector Headlamp Assy With LED RH (LHD) Part Number: 1895781
- 2014 Fiesta-Projector Headlamp Assy With LED LH (LHD) Part Number: 1895784

I'm most likely going to be ordering them. I'm also going to confirm that headlights WITHOUT the LEDs are only available for RHD models, not LHD.

You will find that this is correct.

Just wanted to double check since they should be a bit cheaper. If that's confirmed, I think $656 for brand new Euro headlamps shipped is pretty fair, personally.

For that price shipped I'm very interested

Yeah I would just get a quote because shipping cost might be different for you.

Are you guys getting these headlights for the look?

Sexy and functional. Can't get much better!

Is there a step-by-step on the wiring change needed for the LEDs to work? If there was a guide on how to do it I would order these yesterday.

Well, with the recent news about GBR leaving the EU, the exchange rate has gone down a bit over night. With the current exchange rate at 1.37, that makes the stock Euro Projector headlights just $615 shipped...I think I'm going to continue to watch and see what happens. The price could go down to the $5xx range. Risky but I don't mind. Actually, I don't know. I might just buy them today. Decisions, decisions.

Sometimes it is fun to play with them first.
However you may be right because they might bite you.

I did see and read that thread, it wasn't really a how to though, just kinda showed pictures of the the fuses and relays. I am 100% unfamiliar with lighting and wiring so I would need a literal step-by-step to figure it out.

Or do you think with that link, a competent electrical guy/shop would be able to do it?

It is very simple.
When you are ready just let me know and I will talk you through it .

Like your thinking....in a few months, I bet they'll be sub $500 and that's what I'm counting on

Ehh, I caved in and just bought them this morning with the slight uptick in the exchange rate. I wouldn't doubt if it goes lower but they're already more than $200 cheaper than 2 years ago. I'll take it.
