I have been looking for a good video that goes through opening the headlights, and this hit the nail on the head!
Miltz Jr. thanks, glad it was helpful
Looks the dogs mate 👏🏻🔥 love it, totally changes the front of ya car!
Next weekend ... 👀
Class how to ! One of the best and looks sick mint work mate!
Jayke Myers thanks mate 👍🏻
Brilliant video mate two small points first after wires for the indicator you're better off unclipping them and pulling the wire out from behind the reflector and tape and them up out of the way while you do the painting saves having to mask up and everything then second point when it comes to painting the reflector for the indicator if you leave the orange lens in place it's off the inside for you that way you don't have to mess about masking up the inside of the reflector for the indicator
Scott Lingard ah didn’t think about the wires lol yeah on second light I left the Amber lense cover in place while painting.. so much easier 👍🏻 thanks for all your advise mate
really does give the front of the car a great stance makes it pop really love what u have done to it mate fantastic job considering its the first attempt A++
Martin Barnes thanks mate 👍🏻
Great vid dude. Defo gonna have to try this they look well good.
B_aestheticz thanks! Let me know how you get on
i done mine the same good video thanks
nice buddy, is look goood
XavX GameR thanks mate
Great video mate. 😁 👍
Thanks mate... think I need to get a mid sized tripod that holds an iPhone .. bit hard trying to hold camera and do stuff haha
That looks awesome! Keep up the good work!
Victor Cannoodt thanks! 👍🏻
@@FF04ORD you're very welcome. I'm tempted to try it out myself but I'm afraid annual inspection here in Belgium would fail me for it... I'd need a second pair to play with and get it back to stock for inspection 😏
Victor Cannoodt yeah I’d say get a second set and have ago, just take your time. I don’t see why not as your not spraying the reflective part..What you could do is do a set and go see a garage and ask them if it would be a failure .. or just swap them when it comes to mot/inspection time 😉
@@FF04ORD probably the latter 😅
Came out really well 👍. For the lenses what I did with mine is sand with 1000 grit then 3000 grit then sprayed clear coat on. Looked so much better. Here's a link to my project. The headlight restoration is down the page

You could just machine polish it after sanding and apply a ceramic coating to protect it from UV damage. Gtechniq c1 is good
Zain K thanks will take a look
Great work, I am interested in the diametar of the orange bit from the indicator, I would buy angel eye for that and I need the dimensions, can you help me with that ?
Thanks, sorry i threw the amber sections away awhile ago. You could try asking on the fiesta owners site.
How to orange in white indicator?😊
good job mate,,,nice looking well. mate i have question regarding on the headlights aluminum plastis the round cover in the headlights if you know the size to mm or inch.
eulalio vargas hi, it’s the main big one and the small indicator section. The video should help to instruct on how to remove and paint
FF04ORD hi mate, the big one which with hid headlights cover you painted that was the white aluminum plastic, I need to know the size if you know it.
@@eulaliovargas2536 Sorry i dont the the size.
Hya mate daft question but when doing this do I need to buy orange bulbs if I'm taking the orange screen out
Hi, yes you will. Although I went for the chrome indicator bulbs.
Ok no problem good stuff cheers mate
@FF04ORD. Where did you pick up a set of headlights from please?
t8365 can get them from eBay, a breakers yard or owners sites
@@FF04ORD thank you 👍
Is the indicator still bright enough and orange enough if you take the orange lens off? Planning on doing this myself
Steven Payne yes it’s fine, chrome bulbs make it look better. Can use led bulbs but they gonna stick out like mould on cheese so to speak 😂
Can’t use the standard bulbs as they flash white, the lens make them orange
Ahh OK, thanks for the quick reply. Don't suppose you have any links to bulbs before I go trawling through ebay/amazon
Chrome ones that is
Steven Payne I got mine from eBay, just searched chrome bulbs.. oh not sure if I mention in video but find out first if bulbs are an offset pin or opposite, sorry I can’t remember which
Awesome, I've already found some on eBay. Thanks for the advice, very much appreciated. Trying to give my five door a bit more attitude haha
i mean which round aluminum is the one you painted.
eulalio vargas sorry just seen comment. The removable rings.
How did you cut the lego box to fit ?
Andy Hop it was a case of marking and cutting, marking and cutting more until it sat right. @r23owl has done a video with measurements if it helps

i know its a old video love it thinking of doing mine but did u lacquer after ? just asking as im gonna do mine
The bits inside? Yes
thanks
Hey bud what grit did you use to sand them down with??
Sorry I can’t remember..i may mention it in the video tho
I notice you didn't put the orange indicator covers back on . Did you use orange bulbs instead? . Good job tho . Im in the process of taking my wife's lights apart
Yeah I used chrome orange indicator bulbs as the normal bulbs emit a white light and the filter makes it orange. 👍🏻
Why grit sand paper did you use ?
XXRYANXX I think it was 1000 or 1500 wet n dry sandpaper. It’s only for removing grease etc so the primer doesn’t react and to give it a light etching to stick to
How long roughly does the job take ?
Steven Mcniven it depends really, if rushing and warm weather you could do them in a day. I would say though to take your time and give it some time between layers. Maybe 2/3 days not rushing .it technically takes a few days for the lacquer to fully harden. If you can do this to a second set of lights then you don’t have to rush.
Did you use lacquer to finish them off?
No I forgot that part lol
@@FF04ORD how has the paint faired up without it since you got it done?
Does anyone know if this would still be legal for MOT and legal in general as i am trying to do it on my Fiesta zetec 2008 and im not sure whether i can?
Christian Rush mine passed mot fine. As long as the light beam is not affected. if not sure ask your mot station.
@@FF04ORD Alright mate cheers, Class video, proper nice car too
Thats mk5
But it looks really nice.
Thanks but It’s a mk6. It maybe different in other counties
@@FF04ORD no, its mk5 everywhere en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Fiesta
@@thrustvectoring8120 it maybe everywhere else but we have one in between called the mk5

@@FF04ORD that's mk4 facelift. I mean, it is officially called that way and if you buy parts for mk5 you'll get parts for JH*/JD* even in UK auto parts shops. The confusion is really only on the internet, where you can't find a proper service manual or tutorial for 2002-2008 fiestas because if you search for mk5, it automatically gives you manuals and videos for mk6 and 90% of mk6 is the true mk6 2009+. It drove me mad yesterday when I needed to replace my wiper motor.
@@thrustvectoring8120 in the uk everyone knows that shape is a mk5. My shape is a mk6
