does anyone know if H4 + 50 (1830/1148 lumens) (60/55 watts) are too bright and illegal in canada or are these SAE DOT approved and legal here?
I don't want to put on illegal light bulbs. Also, what is the standard stock light bulbs on our focus? is it H4/9003 (55watts?)
will 60 watts burn the wiring and harness?

60 watts should be alright, and I'm pretty sure you should be fine with running that wattage of lights. I wouldn't be worried unless you were running really bright HID's...... I have bright lights on my ride, and i've never been bothered.

ok confusion here that needs to be cleared up:
in my owner's manual it says my headlamps are "HB2".
I read on wikipedia that "H4" are still not legal in America so they came up with "HB2/9003" which are lower output.
So is my focus (04 sedan) HB2? or H4? and are they both 9003? or is H4 the same as HB2?
:huh:

When it comes to fitment H4 and 9003 are the same.
When it comes to light output, I dunno maybe different.
The best thing to do if you are completely at a loss, take one of your bulbs out, take it in to the store and match it up.
Your bulb should have a marking somewhere that says 9003 or whatever.
As for your manual saying somethng else, perhaps it is a ploy to throw people off and cause confusion so you will go to your local Ford dealer to get them replaced.
Hope that helps...
