What is the bulb model for Ford Focus headlights?
2 Answers
Ford Focus headlights use H1 bulbs for high beam and H7 bulbs for low beam. The Ford Focus is a Class A family sedan with body dimensions of 4404mm in length, 1810mm in width, 1454mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2705mm. The exterior design features a large honeycomb-style black front grille, full lower body cladding, a rear spoiler, and dual exhaust pipes. The Ford Focus is equipped with two engine options: a 1.5L EcoBoost and a 1.5L TiVCT, delivering a maximum power output at 1750-4500 rpm and a peak torque of 243 Nm.
As a Ford Focus owner, I've been driving a 2015 model for several years and know that its low-beam headlight bulbs are H11 type, while the high-beam ones could be HB3 or 9005, depending on the year. I've replaced the bulbs myself a few times—it's quite simple, just unscrew the lamp cover and plug them in directly. If you get the wrong bulb type, like using an H7, the bulb might not fit securely or be in the wrong position, which can easily cause it to burn out. This not only leaves you without light but also affects nighttime driving safety. I recommend checking the manual or entering your license plate number online to confirm the bulb type before buying, so you don’t waste money. I use branded products like Philips, which last longer—don’t cheap out on no-name brands, as they can cause light beam misalignment and poor visibility. Regularly checking your lights is crucial; if they suddenly go out, it’s dangerous, so address the issue immediately.
