Good news everyone!

About a week ago, I decided to be a guinea pig and see if the European projector headlamps fits on the NA fiesta st's. Since there was so much commotion with the previous Fiesta's compatability, it was a bit risky of a project.





I received the headlights today and they FIT! Perfectly, in fact. Even better news is that 90% of the wiring is same as the NA wiring. Only thing that you'll have to wire is the LED DRL and Headlight adjustment motor, if you have switch and other stuff.



I will keep you guys updated with the LED wiring soon...

I apologize to anyone had to read this in Farnsworth's voice.

It loos good to me. I just don't see where it looks any better than the stockers for the money. I guess it is like wheels, everyone has there preferences.

Post some pics of the wiring and with them turned on pls...

this is awesome! thanks for guinea pigging it

Applaud the Effort thank you

Massive props and a huge thank you from the whole community!

This is awesome. Definitely interested in the leveling and aim of these headlights. This is really something that should have been an option in the US.

Do you mind if I ask how much they cost?

It wasn't cheap. Cost around 700 bucks shipped from the UK

Hmm...I wonder if the passenger headlight will be aimed to low and the drivers too high. Generally headlights and their proper level are designed for right or left hand drive and there are internal baffles to control light properly.

Well, it still comes with manual adjustment on the side with athe use of Allen wrench. Also, the headlights I got is left hand drive pattern so the beam pattern is proper

Did that include bulbs/ballasts? If that's the case, 700 bucks is cheap!

 

[bufo]

I would pay 700 for that if everything works perfectly.

All the bulbs are included but it's non hid so no ballast.

Those look good, but I wish they were black like the stock ones.

So, after much trial and error and tremendous help from D1JL, I was able to figure out which pins power things on the headlight. Since I won't be taking advantage of the headlight leveling motor (yet), All I needed to figure out was the LED DRL pinout.



There are many ways to wire up these pins and I decided to use the cleanest route. I ordered some official ford pigtails for the headlight harness and decided to use some pins from it. Expensive? yes. However, it keeps the stock look and I don't need to worry about wires getting shorted and etc.

Stay tuned for the full installation soon!

First of all, thanks so much for putting this together/guinea pigging it. Huge debt of gratitude there as this is definitely something I'll want to do in the future.

Secondly, is there any way you could provide part numbers and part sources for every part you're using for this process (headlamps, wiring, etc)? I'd just want to follow as closely as possible to your method if it ends up working out.

Thanks again!

Part numbers for DEPO items for sure please
