Thanks for the tips. I had a standard low beam bulb replaced on my 2014 Focus within minutes after watching this video.
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.
The same happens to me but only thing is that i bought some in canadian tire leds. Idk what's the problem..
🤣 facts thats what's happening to mine now
Wish i would have seen this comment before i bought them. Lol.
Do you have a link to the canbus decoder you bought??
You need to use forscan with a OBD scanner with hs/ms switch and change the headlight setting to other hid type headlight it will still throw the message when you switch it on but won’t turn off when you start the ignition
Same here canbus decoder never worked for me
Very helpful...thank you.
I'm looking to change my current LED bulbs. The ones I have installed are not great, not bright enough when I drive at night. I was thinking of upgrading to the Diode Dynamics, but these seem a more cost effective option. Anyone have any opinons about them or about the DD ones
I'm getting a low bean fault on my 2013 ford focus se when I put in new headlight
Good video, thank you!
Does Spot light and high beam light come in box together or separately Or is it just 2 spot lights?
I have been install led for my ford focus wagon 2012 but is show dim light failure and automatic off the lights.do you know to reset it or something
Excellent video thank you! Do you have to change both high and low beam bulbs in a 2016 Ford focus?
You don’t have to, only the ones that you want/need to change. Check the laws in your country or state to see if they all must be the same type of light or bulb to be extra sure. 👍🏼
Don’t you need a load resistor for the Ford Focus? Every led I have tried lights up then goes out as power is cut. Car thinks the bulb is dead due to the low power draw from the led.
My 2012 ford focus i install a led kit and got a dimmed bulb code what can I do?
Should we put the same leds on the high beam side to?
Hi I get led lights for focus,then turn on fine but when fire up the car it just go off so I bought led canbus and still same thing , what I need to do guys
Nice job Guys.. 👍
I change my lights goin off I change the fuses and they not working please helping me thanks
Didn't work at all and connectors are loose. I regret spending $40+ , at least you guys got your commission on sales right ? Good for you ! Isn't it ironic that the auto repair guys haven't left a single comment on this video ?
I’m curious as to how you put LEDs in without having to adjust into the computer for the low beam throwing the Low Dipped Beam Fault warning in the dash and shutting the low beam off. And you didn’t show the replacement of the high beam
This happens to me when I try installing new leds
@@That_86 did you find a fix??
@@sleep2100 No, I just kept my halogens
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.
Thx.guys
Good job...And how about the cars that use the same bulb for high beam and low beam, like Chrysler 300 and charger?
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.
What company are these lights from ?
Can someone link me to the lights and, if necessary, the Canbus to install LEDs on a 2013 Focus MK3? I'm going crazy and I've already spent more than €200 testing lights that turn off as soon as I start the car.
Do you have an updated linked for the LED lights?, the one in description is a dead link
Right?! Did you find something that works? I'm still struggling to find LEDs that work in my 12.
My 2012 focus has H7 bulbs with a weird clip in holder for the bulbs so I can't install led bulbs
So, what about showing how to replace the HIGH BEAM (H1) with LED?
I haven't found any single prong H1 LED bulbs
what size your Led?
what size of the led?
Led bulb link is different bulb then this. What bulb is this??
I also have a Ford Focus and it’s a 2012 but I tried to install led bulbs in it and it says on the dash that the bulbs are out and they don’t work, how do they work on your?
Same thing happened to me did u find out how to bypass it ?
I've heard that installing other headlights rather than OEM on Focus might end up bad. I've even seen comments about them turning off in the middle of the highway at night out of nowhere. Do these headlights work great or could they end up with the same issue?
I installed them on mine and they work untill I turn the car on. It's because the car thinks the bulbs out because they run on such low power. Same for the blinkers led caused hyper flash. Led have been a nightmare.
Matthew Poss I’m having the same problem
I use the lasfit brand and have had zero issues. Buy a high quality brand bulb
I tried this LED change and it failed. They just flicker and throw a dipped beam bulb fault code.
I bought some sylvania h11 zevo from autozone for my 2013 Ford focus when I installed them they stayed on until I started car then shut off and my dash is still throwing up bad bulb warning..and while test driving they stayed on until I turned my brights on and they shut off mid driving I had to turn lightswitch off and back on again to get them to come back on..any info as to why they are not working properly would be appreciative
i have the same problems, while installing LEDs on my 2015 ford focus
@@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
How do you adjust it too point a few degrees down plz?
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.
In UK different bulb set up to your speck ours are h7 and you get problems with can bus which turns the light of even tried a can bus error box still turns of had to remove and put standard bulb back
I've got the same problem but solution was easy. Just add Philips Led adapter canbus, chineese one don't work with my bulbs and there still was a problem. After assembly this from Philips everything is working correctly :)
They do NOT work when you start the car.
" Dipped beam Bulb fault"
Instant MoT fail: Main lights MUST be as factory fitted. If you change halogen to LED, you are illegal, simples.
must have canbus?
I have a problem, only the right Low beam doesn’t work and all Fuses are ok, is There a relay that should i check? Tks
LED headlights weren't an option for the 2012 model year. Because of this, other modifications are necessary.
Look for canbus free led bulbs, they won't show up as a fault.
how can i lower the light bulb down
Did the LED lights cause the cars system to say “low beam bulb fault” on dash? I have that right now and my lights turn off after 30 seconds to a minute the longest how can I fix this?
Get different bulbs
FYI Just read online that upgrading front facing bulbs on a car to LED in the UK is now classed as not road legal and is an MOT fail.
I put in a set of led headlights in my 2014 focus. Though the bulbs didn't perform as well as i hoped, they turn on and off as expected and no errors have shown up.
Hey Steve, I also have a 2014 focus. I am looking to buy a pair of LEDs what did you buy? Thanks
@@hum___h at the time of that post, i had in a pair of (knock off) supernova sv.4's i bought on amazon. I thought they were the same as those advertised in headlight revolution's videos. 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.
I wanted to get some of the S-v.4's or GTR Lighting's ultra's (both are on headlightrevolution) but i don't want to blind oncoming traffic or get a ticket.
@@steveblanmag7410 thanks man! I actually just installed mine last night. I have to cut lil tip off the housing. But other than that. Mine is great!
@@steveblanmag7410 I’ve ordered 3 different sets of LED bulbs and can’t get any of them to fit in the housings! Did you have any issues? Thanks
@@Tstark101 they ones i mentioned fit fine. I just had to adjust the swivel base that most lights come with.
I installed the same led that you have the link in my Ford focus but it turns off after I turn on the light.
Did you find a solution for this? I'm having the exact same problem
@nimrodmajano8693 Yes. You need led canbus decoder. I use this one,
SIR IUS LED H11 H9 H8 LED Canbus Decoder cancel error message fix led bulb on and off flickering problem adapter pack of 2.
Part number
SIRIUSLED-H11DC
What size are the bulbs ?
Focus 2012 and up; low beams are H11s and hi beams are H1s (both of those are for standard halogen bulbs, however most LED conversions use the same terminology to designate them).
I been trying to install led in my 2013 ford focus. It go in at easy. They will turn on with the car then turn off saying Low bean fault. How will I be able to fix it.
Have you already fixed it? I have the same problem
@@ethanpreston4166 I haven't yet men. I been busy with work to find the reason been doing 10pm to 12pm
gotta install a load resistor or canbus decoder. my car has the same thing i just ignore it. I also got a program called focccus or forscan and allowed the car to accept LED lights in the BCM but the code still shows up.
Led beam Fault ?????
UK Owners note: if you change halogen to LED headlights, instant MoT FAIL. Headlights MUST be as factory fitted.
YOu wont get away with it on reflector lights like what are on the MK3 focus. If theyre Projector (they have the glass dome inside them) you should be fine - the beam pattern is exactly the same as a halogen bulb
Who else gets low beam fault?
Don’t bother buying unless you have forscan to change the setting of your headlight to work will still get headlight error but won’t turn of when you drive and you won’t need resistors
i have the same problem, they turn themselves off
You’ll need forscan and an elm 327 obd device with the wire and switch
Y’all are incorrect, low beam is on the inside.
No.
That leds causes a lot of glare. Horrible light pattern
LED's are so dumb because they blind other drivers. It's all fun and games until you get blinded. Absolutely no reason to need that much light unless you're out in the woods.
is there a reason you're talking so fast ?
slow down so i can understand you better
What in the Hell is an “ELWE D”?
For the love of god if your gonna try and speak english stop rolling your R's sounds like a auction going on.
I hate the way he say’s “LED” sounds like L-We-D.
Sorry but I can't understand a single word you are saying ... are you speaking english??
he is. listen well. it's not that hard to understand
