I never considered changing my reverse light bulbs untill I watched this. Top video dude. I have the standard headlights as the salesman made a boo boo (he later got the sack) and I was shocked at how little they illuminate the road.
Thanks for guide!! In 4.44 min at the point the light goes to plate number the left side is more closer to the paint than the right. Same on my fiesta. I dont know why...
I’ve managed to change one of my bulbs but can get the light cluster off the other side, it seems very tightly fitted and I don’t want to force it too much. Any ideas
After watching this video I ordered the bulbs from ceuk, they arrived yesterday, and can I get the rear lights off....errrrrrrrr no. 20 mins per corner wrestling with the lens. Given up mate I'll end up breaking them. Great vids by the way. Anyone want a set of bulbs ☹
Awesome video once again bro ! Waiting for my new Fiesta ST delivery around 15th of April....i really can't wait ! The order was placed around 20 days ago and the waiting time for the delivery is so tough...
@@JBCTR Wow ! Can't imagine myself waiting 3-4 months for the delivery honestly, that would be really painful. Thanks my dude ! I'll make sure to enjoy it as much as i can ! Do you mind if i tag you on instagram when the delivery occurs?
I thought the reverse lights are good in my Mk7.5 Fist ST. Ive often thought a car was oncoming when reversing off my drive but was the light from my reverse lights illuminating the road.
tech88596 Ah fair enough! It’s really difficult to capture lights like this on video at nights. Photo’s are slightly more representative - you can see them in the thumbnail. Few more on my Instagram 😁
James Thompson Hi mate, not sure about LED headlight bulbs as I’ve never purchased them. I can recommend these for the fogs though - I think they are the same fitment :) th-cam.com/video/OhURmUPIoCQ/w-d-xo.html (all links and discount codes in description)
Hi I'm considering getting a Mk8 ST3 and live in a very rural location that requires very good lights so this was very helpful. Could you please provide some comments on the ST's new LED headlights are they comparable with other LED or HID's you have driven? Night driving is so important for me as yet i have been unable to get a demo over night. Thanks again for the video.
Tim Williams Hi Tim, the upgraded LED headlights are bloody amazing. I reckon they are better than my HID’s in my MK7 (fitted behind projector lenses). There is some video footage of them in this video, although it is quite hard to capture on camera. Hope this helps! m.th-cam.com/video/hpwpl3mliCU/w-d-xo.html
Hi@@JBCTR, thanks for your responce. Out of interest how do you rate the ST for build quality, I'm a bit OCD on creaks and rattles so your thoughts on this (including the lovely sunroof) would be greatly appreciated. I have now test driven a new ST - simply incredible. However it was brand new so I'm a little concerned to take the plunge without getting some honest feedback from owners that have put some miles on their vehicles.
Tim Williams It’s okay... kind of luck of the draw! My car seems pretty solid, but I’ve been in other’s that do rattle. That said, I’ve also been in some very nice German machinery that also rattles. Hard to say for sure as each car is different from that perspective!
Ok so I tried to change the reverse bulbs on my 2019 ST line but cant get the housing off! I screwed the plastic bolt as described the the light cluster seems to be stuck to the car in one corner?? Help!
@@JBCTR yes thanks. I found another video which showed the back of the light cluster so worked out it was just a tight lug. Reverse and fogs now upgraded. Thanks for the links.
I have the bulbs but cannot get the rear reverse light out. It seems stuck on the right top corner... anyone had this issue at all? Feels like its going to snap if I keep pulling.
Craig Cummings They can be really quite stiff when the car is new, and that is really the only advice I can give. Patience, or take it to Ford 😂 I believe there is a locator pin at the back which is not lubricated from factory, making it stiff.
Lots of good videos dude just subscribed. Started with security first. Feeling the Revo on that side of things too. Collect my ST3 5 door in blue tomorrow. Buzzing :D
I've upgraded my car with the same as yours, but unfortunately they are causing disruption with my DAB radio, every time I put it in reverse my DAB radio signal will become really unstable and cut out several times. I'm really disappointed with this product, any other experience the same issue ?
Fiesta vignale mk8. I just installed them, but since it's tilted in the casing then the light shutes down in the casing and only a very little portion of the led shines out, I then get less light, the rear looks fine with the white led, but no light comes out. If you need the reversing light, don't do this. I will install the original bulbs again
@@JBCTR It certainly is my pride and joy. I wanted something super, super reliable so it was a coin toss between a Honda or Toyota. The significantly cheaper running costs of the hybrid meant Toyota won. £0 RFL and 65mpg between fill-ups 🤑 - Obviously your Fiesta would be way more fun to drive.
@@JBCTR I can get it to stay in electric up to 40mph on flat roads or down hills, and with electric and petrol combined it is fairly fast to about 50mph. My driving style is conservative 99% of the time so I don't have issues with the e-CVT transmission feeling underpowered and overworked like some.
You remind me of the channel CarWow with Matt, keep up the good work and you’ll go a long way in the car channel industry!!

Ricky Millar Yup, they aren’t great. The MK7 headlights were poor so I imagine the MK8 headlights are similar. Glad you enjoyed the video 😁
Please show next time comparison of new and old. How it looks.
Thanks for guide!! In 4.44 min at the point the light goes to plate number the left side is more closer to the paint than the right. Same on my fiesta. I dont know why...
Goodday!how to buy this kind of lights for my car?thank you
Can you tell me which one is the positive wire on the reverse light as all the wires are black as I have a dash cam that I want to wire to it
Apologies, if they are not labelled then I can't comment, I would suggest running a cable from the fusebox at the front.
I disassembled the right headlight easily while the left headlight doesn't come and it's very hard I don't understand

I have the same Problem. One goes out firmly, the other one not. What to do … ?

Can you do a guide to changing the rear indicators? They’re the only ones I’ve yet to do and there’s not much on how to do them.
HoltBlackheath Yup - I’ll see what I can do 👍🏼

Hi Johnny would you recommend a particular type of led headlight and front fog light bulbs for a mk7.5 fiesta zetec S

Have you changed headlights with xenon or Led kit?
markos110LS markos110LS Nope, they’re the standard LED’s from factory and they’re blooming marvellous. 👍🏼

@@stu101 I have this exact same issue! I cannot get it out as its stuck in the corner. Please help mate?
Yup I’ve got this issue too, gave up as a result. must be a thing on the later cars, anyone found out how to release it?
@@SamFullick there is a plastic lug holding it on which is just very stiff. It will come out.
Go to as I drive a lot at night well definitely be doing that to my new car

mole259 Woohoo! Enjoy it :) I don’t think I’ve seen many 5 doors yet!
@@JBCTR you wouldn't believe how hard they are to get hold of unless you factory order one. Rare atm.
We’ll just refer to those as “with suicide doors” on the ST 😱
mole259 I’m not surprised. Quite a nice feeling when you get one though!
@@JBCTR got it back had a 65 mile drive from pickup and good God it's awesome:D security mods going on as we speak 👍
Got mine today, came with a little Drumstick sweet too, not sure if that's standard? 😂 Great video tutorial as always

nice job men !!
I changed mine yesterday but bought mine from AutoBeam
john pardo pleased with them?
@@JBCTR very pleased and going to change the rear indicators to led.
Do like the mk8 thinking of getting rid of my cupra 290 as I only do 6 miles a day lol 😂
matty drebz Will the MK8 make you drive more miles? 😏😂
JB CTR most probs bud I had a lot of fast fords over the years R.S. 3 of mk 6 & 7 st saw it on top gear in 2013 on a sun went got one Monday lol
You say you like pictures of any car, really - Does that include my 2015 Toyota Auris hybrid in bronze? 🤔😳😂

Good video, but no need for the music.
Omg I didn't get the notification 😑😑

But nevertheless the video was great
Meant to say good lol
