Hello guys. Been looking at what people have been doing and the next on my list is upgrading the bulbs of the fiesta. I really like the idea of having some in the footwell and was just wondering what particular LEDS have been using?
Thanks nick

Thanks for the help, do the Cree led need to be canbus ones? To avoid error codes etc or can I get any of them from ebay ??

What car do you have I thought it was standard on a Zetec s also do your reading lamp bulb with white LEDs really changes the look

I've got a zetec S tdci on a 10 plate... Has everything else it seems street pack Bluetooth etc etc but not the ambient lighting unfortunately. Might have a crack at the reading light. Is it an easy swap?

Yeah an easy fit have you check for bulb holders underneath might be tucked away somewhere
