Focus Headlight Bulb Question
#1
im ordering some HIDs so i looked on a chart and a 2002 ford focus is listed as 9003/HB2 but the HIDS do not come in 9003/HB2 but the company clams that the H4 HIDs will fit?

is this true?

if so y don't they just have one code?

Yes, H4 is what you need. H4/9003 are the same bulb.

Because he doesn't have Mach/SVT HIDs like us.....

So H4 bi-xenon are the next best thing i guess

I'm rocking 15,000K in my Mach/SVT's lol

http://www.focuscanada.net/forum/index.p...opic=20629

after all it has almost everything listed for the focus from 2000 - 2007
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

i dont believe that you know any one that knows me that i will be running into on a regular basis so i should be good.


and they ARE going in my factory halogen housings. (blasphemy i know) but i dont have to stare at them right :D


besides you see tones of cars on the road with HIDs in factory housings and its not that bad.


and this IDIOT is not asking your approval or acceptance.



thanks

I have an 8000K HID kit in my stock housings and I have never been beamed by on coming traffic. Light output is far superior to the stock H4 bulbs. Do what you want and let the oncoming traffic worry about it. HID all the way.

I advise anyone to read the link. Personal opinions are one thing. If your gonna do it , do it right. whats the point of having a million dollar house if the electrician did not use morettes and instead connected the wires together with electrical tape and you risk the whole house catching fire? not worth it.

Even my buddy had hids in reflector housings at first, then he felt pretty dumb and they were terrible, and bought projectors made for hid bulbs, put them in his vw, and Wala. im not starting a flame war, so no point in trying to bust my nuts. I'm not the one who made the laws. no point in trying to egg me on, my opinion will not change, heck its not my opinion its the law.

ok i get what your saying. and i here you on the law braking part. BUT in my personal experience this works fine. i know proper HID housings are BETTER but im ok with this.

Certainly, that’s true. One of my friends advised me too to use H4 which is same as H4/9003. Definitely, that’s what you need and it would really works
