You'll need H7 bulbs mate.

Ring sportz blue 85w bulbs look pretty good or get an HID kit so it really is proper xenon light

The bulbs are damn fiddly to change especially on the side where the battery is so be warned.

Those genuine xenon lamps are over Ł300 each. Dont think you can just bolt them in either as they have two load level sensors for the height adjust. One on the front suspension and one on the rear suspension, as appose to the manual thumb wheel in the cab.

It's hard enough trying to fit mk2 headlamps into a mk1!

ok, maybe you dont have this car anymore. But can you tell me, are this 16 inch wheels on that focus?
Found the same, used at ebay in 16 inch and it really looks great on the Focus. Makes some modern look, and better than my acutal 14 inch steel rims anyway!
