Default Ford Focus RS MK11 Replica Build - Xenon Help Please

Hi everyone, Iam in the process of building my 19 year old son a Focus RS Replica. Before you ask I havent got him a real one due to Insurance cost and also I dont really want him to have that sort of power at his age.

Anyway we have a 2009, 3 door Focus, 1.6 Zetec.
We are going to paint it in the Green. I have interior,wheels, front end, exhaust, tailgate etc.
We have been buying parts for the last 3 months.

I need a bit of help with the headlights. I have connected the focus xenons up to my standrad car and the main beam (xenon) doesnt work at all. I noticed that there are 10 pins in the headlight but only 7 have wires in on my connector plug.
Someone must of fitted xenons to a standard car before, what do I need to do ??

Have you had an insurance quote for a full RS replica yet?? What is the price for a 19yr old lad out of interest.


Cheers,
Grant

the difference between insurance for a 1.6 and the RS must be a hell of a lot less than buying all that and respraying it surely

Not 100% sure, but I think the remaining wires are from the self leveling sensor that conects to one of the front wishbones when you have xenons installed.

Haha aye and if the worst happens and they get called on it... fire out the standard:

"We bought it second hand mate, we just assumed all that stuff was standard."

Probably not worth the effort, should have just bought him one of the many ST focus reps on ebay, theres a 1400 one o there at the moment for about 4 grand, afterall he will only probably write it off down mcdonalds.

I tell you what granty, i bet there is a lot of people out there with that mentality. dont declare the mods, and if they need an insurance claim, just plead absolute ignorance about mods, and say they have no clue that there was any.
