Headlights Morimoto or OEM FORD
The only reason a switched from oem to morimoto, is because the stock fr-s ones are very ugly and the don't light up the road that good. Morimotos are better looking and better at lighting.
I put a set of Morimoto Xb v2's on my '18 and love the look, they are built similarly to the OEM but have options for amber DRLs which I like the look of.
You could get aftermarket headlights that look similar to the factory ones. Morimoto makes one called the XB.
Much more than that, I went to aftermarket to morimoto brand. I got the hybrid xb, they are sick
I went with morimotos cause one of my lenses cracked. The day running light and sequential are great and change up the car.
I had a cracked headlight so I ended up just grabbing morimotos XB’s looks absolutely phenomenal.
I replaced my OEM Nismo head/taillights for the Morimotos and I’m so glad I did. Absolutely in love with them, and still the favorite thing I’ve done to my Z
So, I opened my headlights on my 17. It is like others have said a painful process. Main reason is because the factory glue sealing the headlights is very difficult to melt, I had to bake my lights for quite a while to get it to loosen up. And even then the factory glue is basically impossible to get all the way off. Putting it back together isn\u2019t bad, I know some people have condensation issues but I\u2019ve never had any issues with that, plus from the factory there are already drain holes/air holes in the housing anyways.
I had a FiST '14 in the past and the headlights were like two candles. I am in Europe, so I had Euro headlights. I've tried both reflector and projector headlights, without big difference. I've also replaced the bulbs with different options that helped but too less. Unfortunately the headlights on the Fiestas are really bad comparing with other vehicles.
I was just in this predicament, I went with the morimotos and have regretted every dollar spent. Ill spare the details, some of it was warranty process, some was quality control, burning the end the product just isnt great. At best its OK at lighting but a huge appearance upgrade - which is why I think most people rate them so high.
