Focus ST Hack - Easiest way to replace Fog Lights (Facelift Mk3.5)

[@scottmelton5961]

I've been putting off replacing my fog lamps for a year because all of the other videos involved taking your wheel off and pulling the wheel well off or even removing the entire bumper. Thanks for this. It took me 20 minutes including me looking for my pry bar.

[@jonsauce]

Glad I could help!

[@wendellb.6798]

I was quoted over $600 from a local Ford dealership to replace that light. You make it look so easy... Gonna try it myself.

[@ADDwithJTC]

I was done replacing the intercooler with hot and cold piping in my ST (which included r&r the bumper) in less than 4 hours. What in the hell are they charging 600$ for? This is why people don't trust the dealer 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@ARush-px6ld]

Every other vid about this on KZbin has them going in through the underside or backside. Thank you for showing the better and easier way to get this done! Done this twice now on my 2017 Ford Focus SE Hatchback using your guide.

[@jonsauce]

anytime friend! glad i could help

[@stkiraaa]

broke 2 clips but got it done in a few mins, makes no difference without em, definitely worth it thank u

[@orangejjay]

Time to get those expensive carbon fiber replacements! After all, clips are important! 😉

[@deveauxgauger6896]

Dude, you are my hero! It’s as easy as you show it and you saved me time and money. I didn’t’ have the pry tool, but managed to remove cover with a couple of small screw drivers with a cloth to protect finish. I’ll get the pry tool for next time. Thanks for taking the time to record and post this!

[@romacopter9391]

Thanks! This was much easier than going through the wheel well

[@offshorezulu]

Dealership wanted 300 buck for this! I should call you Gieco caused you just saved me a bunch of money!!!

[@ENFIDL]

Dude thank you! Was about to give up and found your video. Had it done soon after

[@jorgebadajoz4485]

All of you guys, including Mr. Sauce (the guy of the video) have a good taste talking about cars 😉😎 ST ❤

[@jong4939]

thank you! I've been putting it off, now I can do it.

[@StarofNite06]

My pry tools are coming tomorrow. I have the led replacement fogs. Plug nd go halogen replacements. I believe i will do this for my headlights as well...i despise having to remove the headlight itself to change the bulbs 😂

[@porkykid]

Easiest shit ever compared to the other options lol. Just borrowed a pry tool from a buddy and it took me 10 minutes

[@jonsauce]

Dope man glad to hear it! There’s people out here taking off their bumpers and shit to do this lol

[@fireflyfox93]

Thank you so much! Wouldn't have been confident in doing this otherwise 😅

[@dham99]

i literally JUST got my fog lights and headlight bulbs in the mail from Amazon...you just saved me a ton of time as I'd like to get them all swapped out in a few minutes before it gets dark. Just be careful you obviously dont snap the bezels, im always weary of pulling factory plastic off..the integrity afterwards never seems to be 100%...but hopefully i dont have an issue! Which lights did you order? I have an ST1, so I just got upgraded H11's for the headlights, i believe the fogs are H8's. I just couldnt stand how dull our factory lights were...my wife's 2019 Escape had brighter headlights than my more expensive ST lol

[@jonsauce]

Glad to hear it man! Yeah, just be careful but the plastic is pretty tough! And I’ve got h11s for the fogs! I’m not 100% sure what the headlights are but they’re the factory bulbs that come with the ST2 package. They get the job done but my dogs are definitely brighter now!

[@iTzMrAnderson]

bro what. My fog light got hit by a rock and shattered it, other videos show taking the front bumper off and shit! THIS IS FUCKING EASY. thank you! expect i dont have a torx T25 so gotta get one lol

[@jonsauce]

Hell yeah my friend! Glad it helped 💪

[@Km-ot4qf]

bro where can I buy the fog light bezel? I bought 2 different sets and both of them don't fit

[@Robbiinnss]

Which bulbs did you go with for you low beams? I ordered some but they ended up being way too bright

[@ReticentIndignation]

I appreciate it, I just noticed my passenger fog light is completely broke! Not sure how the hell that happened...

[@poker_18rs92]

I just bought an ST & I can't get the plastic fog light bezel to stay in place. It keeps coming loose, so I went to Ford & they acted clueless. I think maybe my bumper is messed up. Possibly in a perivous accident? I don't know, but I just spent $44 for a new plastic bezel cover & it won't snap in either. Any ideas?

[@jonsauce]

If it doesn’t fit flush, I would try snapping the inside part in first, closest to the intercooler/grille, and work your way towards the sides of the car.

[@orangejjay]

What I want to know is whats up with that round, PFL-lookin' bit under that cover? Legit looks like it could be cut out and then the old/upgraded PFL fog lights could go in.

[@jonsauce]

I get what you mean! Yeah, with some custom bezel covers you could forsure fit some round foglights there. Would be interesting to see.

[@daygoboy2549]

Which fog light bulbs are these? I’m planning on getting led fog lights and I like these ones you ended up getting. Have to replace the harness for the fog light on the passenger side as well

[@jonsauce]

Hi! These look cool but I wouldn’t recommend them haha. I recently upgraded to the “zoncar” h11 3k LEDs. I got them off of Amazon and for $20 are a great plug and play replacement. The 3k gives off like a yellow light but I’m pretty sure they have options for other hues. I think they have white light also

[@daygoboy2549]

@@jonsauce sweet! How are you liking the 3k? I love the yellow as well, still undecided on going either yellow or pure white, but I’m leaning towards yellow so the 3k will do just fine!

[@jonsauce]

@@daygoboy2549 they’re awesome haha. I love them 👍🏻 I say go for it

[@daygoboy2549]

@@jonsauce so I just looked right now, and I can’t find the 3000k yellow ones, but they do have the 6000k white ones, so I might just go for it! Thanks again for the help!

[@bacchusthompson5834]

@@daygoboy2549 you should be able to find 3k's on Amazon or eBay... The yellows look amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@trent8103]

link to the bulbs ?

[@shawnriddle3018]

Thank you for the post

[@fordrewls]

Hey Sauce, what front bumper lip do you have there?

[@jonsauce]

What’s up bro! Maxton V2 I believe. There’s 3 version on maxtonusa website

[@fordrewls]

@@jonsauce thanks bro. Exactly what I am looking for. Just bought a 15 ST to replace my 00 Contour SVT

[@jonsauce]

@@fordrewls love it man. Congrats and goodluck on the build! I sold my st 2 years ago and miss it big time

[@martinwalker4198]

Once fog lights unplugged then reinstalled does any lights show up on dashboard buddy?

[@jonsauce]

Nope

[@poker_18rs92]

How is your front plate mounted?

[@jonsauce]

It’s bolted onto the grill through a custom mount

[@YooItsGryzzy]

what plate relocate mount is that?

[@Anakinskywalker98]

I got a 16 Focus SE but one of the running lights burned out is there any way to replace just that or do I have to do the whole head light?

[@jonsauce]

The LED strip? Might be a fuse. I’m not sure how the wiring is for them, or how many LEDs are in there, but you might have to open it up to check. But I would check the fuse for the headlights first. Otherwise, the easy solution would be to buy the whole headlight, since you can’t just replace one bulb for the DRL

[@Soyyboricua]

Where you get that license plate bracket

[@jonsauce]

Hey there! Its a modified version of a universal mount off of Amazon

[@nobelsteed6440]

Thank you!

[@xxnositxx]

Where did you get the plate hangar?

[@jonsauce]

It’s a universal plate relocation kit off Amazon. I Used a torch to bend it and make it fit the focus

[@josecarlosguerrero482]

Link of fog light please

[@jonsauce]

Any H11s will work. Look up your favorite color on Amazon. Should be like $20-40 depending on quality

[@brianlee2646]

I like how he shows where to use the prying tool and yet blocks the view so you can't see

[@jonsauce]

Insert pry tool on inner side of foglight cover. It’s not that hard to figure out, dummy

[@joshholtz7586]

Are you like mentally troubled? lmao

[@ReticentIndignation]

Back again...somehow my driver side is broken! Wtf...never had fog lights brake like this.

[@loeb1]

Not hack, you only swapping units

[@lances4803]

The hack is using the pry bar to only remove the bezel instead of removing the entire bumper.

[@2pist]

Hmm. I just pull the headlight out. The fog light is right underneath it.

[@Saren_95]

What splitter is that bro?

[@jonsauce]

Maxton design v2 👌🏻
