Default Ghia interior light.

Can't believe I never did this earlier. It's such an easy job done in like 30seconds.

First pic is a comparo with the single light on top and the 3 light ghia one on bottom.


The light just pops out. There is a little metal clip in the middle of the front side of the light that holds it in (faces the bonnet). I just slid a little flat head screw driver in there and it uncliped by pulling the whole light down.

The hole thats left after the light in poped out and both plugs are undone.

Also if you want to take the aerial off the roof just undo that silver part you can see in the middle.

New light plugged in. The connections are all the same as the single light.

Just test the light at this stage to make sure it all work.

The end product in.
Standard interior light on.


Both maps lights on.


It has the std 3 way switch plus 2 push buttons for the map lights. Cost might put some of you guys off I payed $143.87. Part # - 3S7A13K767AA

looks nice

Do the map lights give off decent light? Would it be enough to read a map in the pasenger seat without distracting the drive too much?

Yep gives off a heap of light. I think the map lights are the same wattage as the std light. It's also angled away from the driver so it doesn't really put the driver off.

hay thats a really good idea.
I didnt realise the Ghia had different lights.
For a long time now ive wanted to do something that might add a bit of light in the cabin at night, i think this might just be the thing for the job !

I priced one from ford about 6 months ago, Just never got around to doing it. The price and the unknown scared me off. But now Oxygen has been my guinea pig, Ill be happy to go and do it full steam ahead!!

How do you get all of these part numbers? Is it possible just to rock in to the Ford dealer and ask for a catalogue or what?

I just walk in to the spare parts department of the local dealer and say I was x part for an 04 fiesta. Then the guy looks it up on the computer and orders it for me. I also have the dvd of the Ford Euro spare parts most of the fiesta part numbers match the australia ones. So I just walk in with the part number like I did with the interior light and get mr ford to order it.

Aluminium Door handles come standard on Zetec's so I dont see why you'd bother buying them from the UK mitch.

Kenneth, just go to ford and ask for them. It shouldnt be a drama.

Not sure they were refering to the Door Handles... I think they mean the door grab handles which are black in all models except the ST

Say I wanted to order St door sills etc, I just rock up and ask for them yeah?

Long shot: would it be possible to order an ST front bar or rear bar?

Sorry it's just I'm used to buying parts for a 36 year old car which no one has parts for...
