new fiesta CL

BlueFG2 · 28-06-2011, 07:47 PM

Tomorrow i pick up a new fiesta cl for the mrs, she likes the overall look of the car, but not the placeholders for the where the fog lights go, so i decided that i would remove the placeholder and install the fog lights, but im not sure the best place to get these, anyone know a wrecker or spare parts place in melbourne that can help me?

I believe the "blanks" that are on the CL don't actually have the required mounts and wiring harness in place to add the foglights.

You would probably be better off finding a complete front bar from a Zetec model and fitting it to your CL ...

I checked my CL wiring and have found a lead both sides that are attached to the top of the fog light cutout. These are blanked off and I presume they are for the fog light wiring as the looms are probably the same for Zetec and CL/LX.

Whether the WT Zetec fog light chrome surrounds will fit a CL I have not been able to establish - I would think that for cost savings the bumper would be identical in all 3 models thus fog lights will fit.

I was quoted $154 just for one fog light surround (no light) by local Ford dealer so will look at importing from England.

If they are like the WQ, you will need the foglight (L and R) and also the interior switch, from memory, the combo for my old WQ was around $200 landed from Uk Ebay

Well the lights finally came, I have the 2 lights, all the wiring and a switch, though I neglected to buy the chrome piece where the light sits, so I have to get them then decide weather I should try install them myself, or just pay someone for piece of mind as I'm not too confident with wiring

Your Ford dealer should do it, but you can probably guess how much they're going to charge you. Hopefully the wires are part of the Foglight harness because that's worth about $800 from Ford.

I got a similar kit from UK for the Focus, decided to let an auto electrician do the job (it was on the edge of my capabilities and I thought it would help avoid warranty issues). Took them about one hour = $100.
