Love the headlights. Looking forward to see what else you do to the car.

@BuiltbyaGeek 2 года назад

Thanks buddy!

@hpagan9829 2 года назад

Finally a good video explaining the install, thanks for this!!! Keep up the good work

@BuiltbyaGeek 2 года назад

Thanks. I appreciate that!

@andrewaslanidis1294 2 года назад

Love following the build! Been considering grabbing some euro lights for my FiST ever since I got it last year. Thank you for the tutorial!

@BuiltbyaGeek 2 года назад

Thanks, I appreciate it! They are great headlights, though if the NA headlights weren't damaged I probably would have put that money towards other things first. That said, I do think they change the look of that car quite a bit and I"m sure they provide much better lighting than stock.

This helped me a lot. Thank you for this video!

@BuiltbyaGeek Год назад

Glad it helped!

@cristianbarbosa6115 Год назад

Hi, writing from Colombia. I found your video really usefull and made me consider to set this euro lights on my fiesta. So thanks for taking the time and sharing your experience with us :) Keep it up!!! BTW, would you consider to share your expirence on the headlights level with the adjustment screw too? Sorry in advance for any typo mistake haha

@vladt5631 Год назад

Hello, first of all thanks for this video. I have a question, does your DRL working properly? I mean that drl dimming in parking light mode and not dimming and more brighte in Auto mode?

@apollorhythm 2 года назад

Love the content! Headlights look good! Are you going to paint the bumper?

@BuiltbyaGeek 2 года назад

Thanks Devin. I'm thinking of wrapping the whole car in the spring. Still considering my options but that's where I'm leaning right now.

@BlueHokage Год назад

I seem to have the same cutoff alignment issue that you are showing. Is that something you were ever able to correct?

@lenliz2003 Год назад

Hi. So by moving the pin allows the daylight to stay on when you turn the key on?

@nate2998 Год назад

Thank you for the tutorial! Did you have to level your LEDS and/or aim them correctly?

@BuiltbyaGeek Год назад

Yes you can set the level using an adjustment screw on the headlights.

@robertrodriguez1382 2 года назад

Great video just what I was looking for to install my depo headlights. Are yours depo or tyc?

@BuiltbyaGeek 2 года назад

Thanks for watching! They are Depo, I talk about them in the previous video.

@Lukas-rk4wx 2 года назад

for the high beams i already have the ford clips, if i buy h1 led now is it plug and play? Or do I have to change the wiring?

@BuiltbyaGeek 2 года назад

The only wiring change you need to do is to get the LED daytime running lights.

@dziksondzik9401 Год назад

Does the LED dim when dipped headlights are turned on?

@bongodave13 2 года назад

Looks awesome. How much did it all cost?

@BuiltbyaGeek 2 года назад

Thanks! The headlights were roughly $400 delivered from Cars245.com. Thanks for watching!

@ruanlopes3696 6 месяцев назад

Hi, Thanks for the vídeo. Where can I find this bracket to fix the led lamp? Where can i buy it ?

@BuiltbyaGeek 2 месяца назад

Sorry for the late reply. Which bracket do you mean exactly?

@woopsnap Год назад

How’s the adjustability on these? Making sure they are leveled and such. I’m HEAVILY considering doing this since I hate hate hate the USDM headlights.

@BuiltbyaGeek Год назад

There's an adjustment screw on the headlights, but it's limited. My understanding is that the Fiestas in the UK had a headlight adjustment switch inside the car which controlled the motors inside the headlights. I haven't really dug into it that much, but it's something I'd like to do eventually.

@edmundovillar8868 Год назад

I have the tyc and they’re a bit different on the housing conectors having a hard time in the highbeams

@BuiltbyaGeek Год назад

Good to know, I assumed they were the same.

@28happenstance 2 года назад

Do you have any rust around your antenna base? I have a 2016 FiST, and the rust has gotten bad. I may reshoot the entire roof, but Im leaning towards just fixing the rust, and then wrapping the roof black.

@BuiltbyaGeek 2 года назад

No rust that I can see. Is that a common issue with FiSTs?

@28happenstance 2 года назад

@@BuiltbyaGeek Very common.

@woopsnap Год назад

Mine has paint peeling badly in that area. I need to get it handled.

@789ibanez Месяц назад

Hey man great video! I just have a issue, i followed every step you mentioned and my low beams are not working, even i plugged back again the stock headlights and the low beam it’s not working as well, any idea? Or did i done something wrong? Please help me man!! Thanks 👍🏼

@BuiltbyaGeek Месяц назад

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Have you checked the fuses? I believe there's a 2 fuses for the low beams, one for each side. I would start with that. Other than that, if you changed the pins, might want to check to make sure you moved the right one or that you didn't disturb any of the others. Good luck!

@lenliz2003 Год назад

My problem is that I have DLR outside the light. I connected it up to the wires and everything works 100%....until I start the car. The the dlr turns off when I turn on the headlights.

@kelvinreyes77 Год назад

Was pulling the wire a little to hard and it snapped off any ideas on what to do ?

@BuiltbyaGeek Год назад

Damn dude that sucks. If you can get the pin out somehow, you may be able to solder it back together.

@gior294 Год назад

What’s the part number for these?

@crazyoldgerman1892 2 года назад

When are you going to have the videos finishing off the 4 wheel quad ? Did I miss it?

@BuiltbyaGeek 2 года назад

No you didn’t miss it. The fiesta took over my editing time. I will release it soon I promise. Stay tuned.

@felixhernandez8110 Год назад

Wait so you don't really need the H1s because they are just high beams the ones mostly being used are the H7s because the LED DRLs are integrated into the Euro headlight? Trying to save money lol also I got LED super bright turn signals on Amazon

@codybunderson731 2 года назад

Where did you buy the headlight unit?

@BuiltbyaGeek 2 года назад

I bought them at Cars245.com

@RamosDominicano Год назад

Is your car a Canadian spec FiST? Did you originally have DRL low beams?

@BuiltbyaGeek Год назад

Yes, Canadian spec with DRL.

@RamosDominicano Год назад

@@BuiltbyaGeek thanks! Great to hear. I wasn't sure how the wiring would work since every write up I've found is for US spec cars which don't have DRL low beams. Are your DRLs now, the LED strip or the low beams?

@BuiltbyaGeek Год назад

@@RamosDominicano DRL are the low beams still. The LED strip are the parking lights. I don't believe they are on when driving.. I could be wrong though, I've never actually had someone else drive the car while I checked lol.

@RamosDominicano Год назад

@@BuiltbyaGeek hahaha cool. Thanks for the info. Now I just need to find some time to do this mod.

@yeisonariza3865 2 года назад

Friend, I installed these European version headlights on my Ford Fiesta, the daytime running LED strip does not work, previously I had a normal headlight without LED, what procedure should I do?

@BuiltbyaGeek 2 года назад

For North American cars, all you should need to do is move that connector wire like I did in this video.

@yeisonariza3865 2 года назад

@@BuiltbyaGeek Ok thanks a question the tool you use where you can buy it

@BuiltbyaGeek 2 года назад

@@yeisonariza3865 You can get them off Amazon. You don't actually need the tool however, a small flat screwdriver will work as well.

@jhonyrojaszetina Год назад

Watching this video helped me install the lights easily! Now… my only issue is not even a day in and now my led bar has gone off on its own, specifically my passenger side. This happen to you? or anyone? any solution?

@BuiltbyaGeek Год назад

Sorry for the late reply. My LED bars continued to work. I do recall one time that one of the LED bars were off, but I believe the wire I had moved was loose.
