I see that there are some that would like to know the bulb replacement numbers for the Ford Focus. Well here is a list to help those out. This is from the Sylvania Website:

High & low beam headlamp
Part number = 9003


Upgrade Part Number = 9003ST
"Silverstar High Performance Halogen Upgrade - Whitest, Brightest, 100% Street Legal"

Upgrade Part Number = 9003CB
Cool Blue Halogen Upgrade - White Hot; Super Cool; 100% Street Legal

Upgrade Part Number = 9003XV
XtraVision Halogen Upgrade - Up to 30% Brighter than standard



Parking light
Part number = 3157LL





Front turn signal
Part number = 3157LL





Rear turn signal
Part number = 3157LL





Tail light
Part number = 3157LL





Stop light
Part number = 3157LL





High mount stop light
Part number = 2825





Fog/Driving light
Part number = 899
& 893's as well





License plate
Part number = 6418





Back up light
Part number = 3156LL


Except coupe model

Part number = 921


Coupe
Upgrade Part Number = 921LL
Long Life Upgrade - Up to twice the life of the standard lamp



Front sidemarker
Part number = 194


Upgrade Part Number = 194LL
Long Life Upgrade - Up to twice the life of the standard lamp



Dome light
Part number = 6411

Trunk/Cargo area
Part number = 2825 (Coupe)
Part number = 6411 (Except coupe model)


The headlight bulb numbers are as follows:
Factory: HB2
Aftermarket ones. These are for the headlights that have not been modded to run either the MACH HID's, ST-170, Projector Beams or the RS Headlights: H4 or 9003

For those other ones: H7,H9 and those with the Glass Foglights (euro version): H1

Stock wattage for the Headlight bulbs: 55low/65High

Foglights:37.5

Aftermarket Headlight bulbs: There are some here on the jet that run the PIAA or Hella 80 watts low beam and 100 high beam. Some have had issues w/ these while others have not. IMHO, don't go higher than 55 watts for the low beam and 65 for the high beams. Some have found out that running the higher wattage has caused issues and problems: Such as: Lens melting or even melted wiring harness.

Foglight bulbs: Personally I have ran the 50watt bulbs from batinc. Two days short of a year the left side blew out. It can handle the wattage, but running the Yellow Batinc bulbs Will leave the platic lens housing turn yellow do to the heat.

Glass Fogs (euro ones): H1 55watts, then there are the ones that run 100watts. On this one use your best judgement in running something w/ a higher wattage. Most of all have fun.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">For the H7 bulbs I would go with the Phillips Vision+ bulbs, same wattage as stock but 50% more light and I beleive it, I ran a H4 set of them and loved them(new car has HID's)
for the H1 bulbs just get either a standard Hella bulbs
an overwatt 100watt hella bulb or a standard watt +50 Hella bulb

www.autolamps-online.com for the vision+ bulbs

I'll keep that for handy reference.

For the D2S bulbs, any specific brand out there? I know Hella makes the light assembly, but are there alternatives (if anyone would recommend going elsewhere other than Hella)?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">The Sylvania website rates the 9003 Silverstars at [max]65/72. Is this ok to run?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Try getting Streetglo fog bulbs from Mcnew's, they are as white as the Silverstars. They are listed as Wizard fog bulbs on their sight though.
