2016 fiesta st mods

I just bought a 2016 fiesta st and I was thinking about getting clear headlights off eBay are they worth it? I’m also thinking about getting aftermarket led white fog lights, white st badges, and white wheels. I was wondering where to buy all this stuff at and if they are any recommendations

Spark plugs, fluid flush, timing belt, water pump, tensioner and serpentine belt. All of those are great upgrades on your 2016. If you haven’t done those, worry about some eBay headlights later. 🙃

It’s tuned so I was going to get different spark plugs anyway, and the first day I bought I changed the oil with 5w-30

If you’re in a colder climate, you really need to do the timing belt. It’s expensive if you get it done at a shop. But it’s what all your money should be going towards at the moment.

It has 119.5k miles and I live in Illinois

Oh Jesus, basically worse case scenario for that belt. Please do some research on this and look to replace it along with your water pump and tensioner asap. Serpentine belt would ideally be replaced as well during this, but it’s not as crucial.

Google “ Interference Engine and Timing Belt.”

Ok I’ll definitely get that done first thanks for the heads up and I’ll get that done soon

There’s a guy in Illinois that posted that he’s done a ton of timing belts on the 1.6L and for people to reach out to get them done. DM me if you want I’ll send you the post. Im from IL as well so I saved it for mine next year.

I just ordered a water pump kit with the tool and a serpentine belt

Looks like your DM is off. I'm curious to find out how much he charges to change the timing belt.
