HEADS UP: the “Fahren” brand bulbs linked in the description of this video do not work with the 2012 + Ford Focus. I just bought them and they will work when the ignition is primed, but when you start the car they will throw a bulb fault error. If you want them to work, you’re going to need to also buy a canbus decoder, otherwise the car thinks your headlights are burnt out and will nit supply power to them.

Same. I just bought a used 2013 Escape from a dealership with LED lights installed for the headlights. I don't know if the dealer put them in, or someone brought it in like that without the headlights working properly, but as soon as you start up the car, the lights go right out. They have the extra resistors installed even, they just don't work once the engine is running.

@@yoancota4293 I did some research and found out that you either have to get load resistors that require you to tap into your headlights and mount them on the inside of your engine because they get extremely hot I bought them at autozone for 15 bucks but never installed them instead I went to Amazon and found a plug and play canbus decoder harness for the h11 led bulb I just plugged them in and the problem went away and you don't have to cut into any wires..so I'll be taking back the load resistors to autozone for refund and I guess they also make canbus ready led bulbs too from what I saw at Amazon

@MidnightMarrow2 жыл бұрын
Would work but not quite to the same degree as a normal bulb in a high beam position. If you look at headlights, you'll see the lowbeam has a little deflector right in front of it. The LED's are typically made to simulate halogen inside those fixtures and rely in the edges of the reflectors to project it. The high beam has an open reflector and while it'd work it wouldn't project quite like an exposed bulb I'd imagine. Pretty sure the pitch is a little different but I'm thinking the exposed nature just means more light straight from the source PLUS the side reflections. The LED's would simply have the left and right side reflections still.

They are NOT. The light output was slightly better than stock, color more white-white, but the beam pattern is not very good. I moved those down to my fog lights and installed some hikari eye of megatron's. Slightly better beam pattern and a little more bright for less money.

Inside the car, in the case of this focus, in the middle of the light controls there’s a small circular button with numbers to the right. Press it inwards until it pops out, then you can twist it anti-clockwise to turn it up to number 4, which turns the light direction downwards. The numbers are meant to represent the number of passengers in the back of the car, which naturally weighs the back down and the front up blinding others.
