Mondeo 1.8 Mk3 pre facelift

evolutionqy7

Hey got this car not too long ago and it has a small crack on one of the brake lights...im planning to replace it and was just wondering would these fit on it...http://cgi.ebay.ie/Ford-Mondeo-ST-220-PAIR-Rear-LIGHTS-LAMPS-TAIL-LIGHT_W0QQitemZ230381401837QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item35a3cd36ed

im not sure is the further facelift models are exaclty same size and bolt locations are same and the plugs for it too. cant find any decent email to email ford and the dealership is quite far out of my way :S maybe some one knows?

thanks

added the pic of the car too :P

Yes, they will fit but make sure they come with the bulb holders as well because you will need to change your indicator bulb to the orange type as your new cluster has a clear lens for indicators.

I fitted a set to my 02 Mondeo and it has taken years off the look of it. Well worth the upgrade.

yeah i know thats why im upgrading...theres one set of st type brake lights on ebay they were 115 pound the ones i posted are 85 and when i asked the seller do they fit he said that i will need to use my own bulb holder...asked him are they the same and he said i will have to use my own one lol...not very great explanation then need to get that chrome line for the boot and a chrome grill and should make it look just as good as the facelift one

OP those rear headlights were fitted to all the Mondeo models from around 2005/2006 onwards, not just the ST. It might be worth going to a scrap yard where you should be able to pick up a set fairly cheap there.

evolutionqy7

yeah i know but considering that all scrap yards around where i live closed down and the nearest one to me is 100 km away i think the extra i would spend on the new ones would be the same cost + i would get them at my door instead burning petrol to go up 100 km and back 100 km but a good point :P who lives near one

I may be wrong but I think there is no reflector built into the newer lights (the mondeo with these had reflectors on the bottom of the bumper) so you may not have any red reflectors on the back of your car (which could cause trouble with NCT!).

I'm open to correction though.

evolutionqy7

im sure not gonna scrap the old ones incase anything goes wrong and yes it has reflectors but not sure do they have ones in the lights no point scrapping your old ones anyway im sure they would be happy to sit in the attic stick a couple of reflective badges before going on nct lol
