Hello I am new to the forum and have just bought a fiesta titanium, I drove on a road that had no street lighting and could not see ahead far enough it was very dangerous. I changed the bulbs to 120 % brighter but still have not made enough difference, I have even taken the car to hendy fords who said there was nothing wrong with the lights but its not safe to drive like this. Has anyone got any ideas that would help with this. Thank you

Is it they are not bright enough or they are not pointing far enough ahead?
If it's the distance they are pointing ahead, have you tried adjusting the level using the outer ring of the fog lamp switch to make sure they are set to the highest setting?

Hello in the beginning it was not bright enough or pointing far ahead enough, I put in the brighter bulbs in which have helped alittle with brightness but does not point far enough ahead, I have checked the adjuster switch its on 0 cannot be adjusted anymore.

Does the adjuster switch actually move the headlamps? Probably best too check this in the dark when pointing up against a wall.
