We know that the Mk2 Focus (LS Focus in Australia) has the same scalp as the WQ XR4. But the LS Focus has a few options that the Fiesta never came with - namely indicator lamps and puddle lights. Good to know, but otherwise too hard to do to the Fiesta - right? There is no cut-out in the Fiesta mirror to fit the indicator lense, and there's no allowance for the puddle lamp.
Well, I went and purchased a set of aftermarket Powerfold mirrors - there are actually a dozen or so makers of them in Europe, and while still a bit expensive for shipping, they are easily available. I mainly just wanted the Powerfold feature. As I continue to collect parts for my build, these powerfold mirrors had been sitting aside for awhile waiting. But based on the experience of an acquaintance on facebook, I opened them up the other day and was pleasantly surprised.
(1) The cut-out for the indicator lense is actually there! So they must be using the whole shell from the Mk2 Focus on the Fiesta Door-Moulding.
(2) the outline of the puddle lamp is actually built into the shell as well! It might be an easy matter of pressing it out, but cutting carefully along the line might render a good enough result, since it is out if the way under the mirror itself and not easily visible.
The big question is the connectors - the Fiesta connectors are 8 pin, and with the mirror motors, heater and powerfold that leaves only one pin spare. But no fear, I found the connector part numbers, so it is possible to de-pin the 8-pin male/female connector and put them in equivalent 10 pin shells, and add another wire for the puddle lamp. What I don't have yet are the connector/pin types for the A-Pillar.
The Focus mirror. The connector can already be seen to be 10 pins.
