    Hi, 
    I am looking to replace the Full front set of lights with the HID style ones.
    Car is a 2010 Focus, 1.6 TDCI.
    Can anyone recommend on what needs to be done and what lights exactly i need?
    Googling seems to return H1, H3 and H7 - are all three kits needed? Is one for Heads, then the dips and fogs?

    Where would be the best place to get a set - I live up North so UK delivery is an option.

    Thanks :)

    Wouldn bother as your headlights are not meant for hid's and will scatter the light wrong. If you must though your car takes h7 for dipped and h1 for full beams. So 2 kits are needed in your case.
    Redpower do the kits

    They won't just scatter the light, they will blind oncoming traffic. There are enough clowns on the road with blinding cheap aftermarket blue HID kits.

    Better off just replacing the existing bulbs with the likes of Osram Nightbreakers, etc which offer better light and are a straight swap with what you have.
