theres a how to on ffoc mate.

thats what i used on my old focus and my mates focus and another mates focus you get the idea

you dont need to move any wires in the switch, you do need to leave one wires long as it needs to go down to the posative on the indicator plug.

You do need to add a wire into the indicator stalk. I can't remember where it goes, but on the prefacelift lights, the dipped goes out when you select main beam, which on facelift lights (seperate main and dipped) you don't really want!

It doesn't go from the headlamp switch to the indicator stalk, it is just a small piece of wires bridged across 2 pins on the indicator stalk if you get what I mean.

All it does is stops the dipped beam going out when you select main.

Is there still a write up on the FFOC Rich? We've got the facelift headlight plugs off a golf or passat or something, just cant for the life of me remember where the diagrams have gone that I had saying which pin does what.

There is mate, however I stopped using ffoc when they started charging you to use every section of the forum apart from general chat!

I did do it on my old focus, however I don't remember which pins it is. I'll do some digging for you later to see if I can find out!

Pin 9 green/blue in indicator stalk plug cut off before plug as this is not needed and extend this wire over to the main light switch . Look at the multi plug at the back and join it to the smallest Green/Red wire. It should be the 3rd one in from the left as you look at it.(solder to existing wire)
