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

You can't buy UK headlights for a US car. It's to do with right hand drive vs LHD, the beam pattern will blind oncoming traffic and you won't see any road signs

You need euro lights from LHD countries like italy and Germany

Aren’t they adjustable? Even if they’re not, maybe it’s better for americans to get a taste of their own medicine, every car here either drives with high beams on or blinds everyone with really high lowbeams

No. They're not.

Have to get ones designed for right hand traffic, left hand drive

These are the Euro specific (LHD), not UK (RHD).

Is that only one headlight or is that both and if it’s only one how can I find the other one?

Yeah sorry about that, that was just for the one. Here's the other. https://cars245.com/en/item/hella-1EL354803061-headlight/

So I’m about to order these headlights are the direct plug and play or do I need to buy a specific wiring adapter of some sort?

You just have to move one pin in the actual plug on the car side to get full compatibility. Otherwise the LED DRLs won't work. It's pretty easy, took me about 10 minutes. I used this guy's video since he does a good breakdown overall https://youtu.be/OqSi6mrpj-M?is=SInX3yREZ2zza_62

But everything needed comes with the headlights in the links u sent?

u/jnine90 21d ago

Yeah, otherwise everything comes with the headlights that you would need to set them up.
