Thanks for the video. I had to replace the whole light assembly after it lost a fight with a gate post. When the old one comes out it has a black guard on the tailgate end. You need to remove this and attach it to the new assembly. It is held in by two click-fit clips and two position guides. Easy enough once you spot the two clips.
I helped replace my mates back light units with the LED back light units (he has the ST line) what we did was get a flat head screwdriver and poke it through the carpet hole that u showed in the start to unscrew the wing nut and it came out really easily.
I had a lug issue with my rear light which was a pain in the arse. Just would not let go of the rear cluster. Got there eventually but reminds me of why I will want LED in future. Good video and I look forward to having to fight that damn wing nut lol!
Just incase anyone else is doing this There’s a second rivity pin which is an absolute nightmare, right at the smaller, more bendy end of the light. I ended up having to use trim removal tools to help with otherwise you feel like you’ll just snap the end of the light, even using the tools the left hand side one cracked slightly in between the black and red on the back of it- you can’t see it and I’ve glued it to seal it but very frustrating haha. Lights look great tho!
I work at Saarlouis, where we build the Focus, and it‘s actually pretty easy there, i think you can adapt this to the Fiesta. You actually can just use your hands and pull the caps in the opposite direction from the mirror. Or use a soft plastic to get under the cap and just flip it off
Just done this, the yellow plastic bit was so tight for about 10 turns, then only about 5 easy turns. Putting it back in was difficult to judge because a lot of the turns were above hand tightening level. Did the same thing on a current Corsa and it was a lot easier. Silly Ford. Thanks for the video.
I’ve got the same LED’s and the springed wingnut on the mk8 fiesta is an absolutely stupid idea. Had I have seen your video it probably would’ve saved me at least half an hour! Keep up the good work dude!
Thanks for making the video but although the tip about pulling the carpet back to make removing the retaining bolt a lot easier (and it does, believe me!), I still can’t remove the cluster. I can’t work it out but there seems to be something else that’s stopping it coming out. Thankfully, I gave up before I snapped anything!
Thanks for the video! However, still struggling to replace the yellow plastic wing nut as visibility and accessibility are VERY difficult, any ideas on how to recoil the spring before placing back into the socket?
Took me an hour this crap but was worth it. Take a strap like a piece of a ratchet strap and put it from the front behind the light it work way better cause u have a leverage point.
Tried LED from 20 Twenty (anti hyper flash Type) amazing build quality , unfortunately blindingly bright at night , so much so other drivers where being blinded and flashing me. I had to remove them again and fit Philips silver vision bulbs, I recently found out Philips make a amber LED I might try those next.
Hello! I bought these bulbs for my Fiesta ST MK8.5 and when I put the 4 emergency turn signals, the ones on one side go at one pace and those on the other side at another pace, do you know what I can do? Thank you
You know the dynamic indicators at the front, I have a Vignale and the front indicators are just the standard flashing ones. Do I have to upgrade the whole light housing at the front to have the front indicators lighting in a line like yours. Hope this make sense.
It'll be a change to the whole cluster. If you don't have LED's at the moment, it will be difficult to fit them as there are levelling sensors on both the front and rear axles.
Great Job JB. I am installing my rear indicators tomorrow ;) Have you tried to change mirror indicators already. It seems to be bit tricky. I have received bulbs but waiting for your tutorial before I destroy something ;)
Just like the new Polo GTI+ . Great full LED at the front but a mix of LED and filament bulb indicators at the rear. Spoils the look. Never know why they do it when some models are completely LED at the front and rear including all indicators.
have you had any issues with the led bulbs causing the bulb warning light to come on the dashboard. some have said this is an issue when replacing bulbs with leds.
The ST MK8.5 facelift version will no doubt have the rear LED sequential Indicators to match the front, this is why I never buy pre-facelift models...The facelift version always look much better in my opinion...a good example was the Clio MK2 facelift :)
Chris Gill Hi mate, I’ve done a couple. This one is after the Revo software: ruclips.net/video/37efsEVMq3w/видео.html And this one is after 7000 miles: ruclips.net/video/rWvZb2VsqGY/видео.html I may do another that’s more up to date shortly 😁
Hi jon ive just ordered a fiesta st line x and i want to get my bulb upgrades ready im gonna order the same as you for fogs and reverse etc but which ones do you think i should get for headlights to match the drls thanks
Hi mate, as you may have seen my car has the LED’s from factory so I don’t need to upgrade the headlights. I had HID’s (5600k) in my last car behind projector lamps and they were brilliant. New LED bulbs are far better too, but still not had good as HID’s. That said, a few legal issues surrounding both HID’s and LED’s so if they are for road use, you run them at your own risk :)
Have been trying to do this earlier but seems to be a second lug holding the light cluster in place after the wing nut is removed. A bit apprehensive on yanking on the cluster and breaking this, any recommendations on loosening this second lug? Don’t seem to see anything here in the video
Like your vids Jonny as a diehard ford driver. I have the Vignale edition and I just tried to get these bulbs but your discount code is not working, has it ran out, comes to £28 which is rather steep for two bulbs.
Hey man I love your videos on the st. You don't upload enough :( I really want a st but I think it will just get stolen even with the steering wheel lock and the new key Ford are rolling out. How do you feel when about that when parking in new areas or just in a random car park?
It's not just ST's that get stolen. Nearly all keyless cars are susceptible to the same type of theft. The new MK8's are not quite as vulnerable as the old ones due to some electronic trickery around the OBD port. However, my car has a fair bit of additional security on it as a precaution and if the worst really does comes to worst, it's insured. I don't lose sleep over it :)
Hi. I writing from Italy. Can you write me the model for these leds? Or, is there one site when I can to buy this led? is it possible to put them e even front? Thanks
I have a 68 plate titanium with the optional led headlights, also like yours has the led rear light signature (Ford's own words), like you I think it's annoying that the reversing lights, rear indicators & front fog lights are not LED, spoils the look of the car & I think slightly cheapens it. Otherwise it's a fantastic little car
@@JBCTR I am, I have the 1.0 ecoboost with 100bhp, it's a really good fun to driver & such a zesty engine & for a 3 cylinder sounds amazing. Would love to own the ST though.
@@JBCTR also had lots of experience over the years with Fiestas, learnt to drive in a mk2, we had a mk1 as a family car when I was little, my brother had a mk3 for a whilst, hired loads of mk4s in the past, such fun little cars. Had a courtesy mk6 & now own a mk7 like yours, I do like fiestas.
I’ve tried to remove the rear light, but it doesn’t seem to want to come off. ☹️ wing nut out but it’s really stuck in the corner I can’t seem to get the clip to release, has anyone got any advice? 🤞☺️🤞
There is a lug holding the light which can be stiff when new. Don't pull it left or right though as you may end up snapping the tip of the light unit off (it's a silly design all round..)
LET ME SAVE YOU 1 HOUR!!! Get a powerdrill and a long flathead screw driver to undo the wingnut. It literally took me 30 seconds LMAO. I literally cut my hand trying to undo the wingnut by hand and after 30 mins of failure i was like FUCK it Im bringin out the big guns. And if you wanna replace the indicator you might as well replace the brake lights while you at it cuz you definitely dont wanna do this again LMAO
There isn’t one - it’s just super stiff if it’s the first time removing it. You need to be firm, but ensure you don’t twist the unit to the left or right of the car as you may snap the very tip of the side panel (this is REALLY common). Make sure you pull it straight and you should be good.
After removing the wing nut you just pull the headlight and it comes on by itself ??? Is this a ******* joke ??? It is the MOST COMPLICATED thing to remove on this car !!! SO HARD to do it without breaking it !!!
Got to say, this was the most useless video for removing a light cluster. Love how you didn’t show how to pull out the light cluster, must’ve cut out the frustration bit 😉
I actually broke the pointy end of the light cluster trying to do this. A bit of stupidity on my part I admit, but it’s kinda designed badly tbh. Just be careful
@@thecommentator6694 so basically after you undo the screw and actually come to the part where you have to pull out the cluster, pull it out as straight towards the back as you can. You'll be inclined to rotate the cluster while pulling it due to where you're applying the force. Just keep an eye on the pointy end and pull straight and it should be okay I guess, I didn't actually remove the cluster after breaking it.

I put Autobeam indicator bulbs in my MK7, loved how bright they were but they seemed to upset other people on the road, especially at night 😂
When are you going to do the mirror indicators, I have the bulbs but have no clue on how to get the caps off 🤔

Would be nice if you could get chasing ones like the front

Have you tried to change mirror indicators already. It seems to be bit tricky. I have received bulbs but waiting for your tutorial before I destroy something ;)
How easy is it for you, the headlights of my fiesta are completely stuck even after removing the white screw… so hard ?
A 10mm socket fits on the middle of the wing nut, makes it really easy
That’s a great tip
Can I change the front Halogen headlights with led headlights, are the cables the same?
Just like the new Polo GTI+ . Great full LED at the front but a mix of LED and filament bulb indicators at the rear. Spoils the look. Never know why they do it when some models are completely LED at the front and rear including all indicators.
End No Can bus problem, i charge to oram led and the indicator blink 2x so fast :( how to fix this?
You'll need to add some resistors
Be careful, for Ford Puma it's WY16W that you have to chose.
have you had any issues with the led bulbs causing the bulb warning light to come on the dashboard. some have said this is an issue when replacing bulbs with leds.
Nope, all the bulbs on the car have been error free.
What is the type of those exchange bulbs? H1?
