For those thinking of LED brake lights, here is how I did mine:
It turns out the 3watt LED light bulb from CDR King can be driven using 12volts
I have a Fiesta sedan but your own brake lights should have a circuitry similar to this:
The LED heatsink is too wide to get into the existing hole

Re: Ford Fiesta sedan LED brake light
Very nice tweak sir!

Thanks Sir!
The original bulb is a bit brighter taking into account the original uses 21 watts while this one 2watts only.
Advantages:
1. Uses less power which equates to less fuel consumption
2. High tech and higher model look - Altis has LED brake lights while the Vios does not.
3. up to 50,000 hours bulb life daw. What I believe is LED is more durable than filament type
Pwede siguro gumamit ng 5watts or 7watts LED light bulb para mas malakas pero myself medyo hesitant ako palakasin at baka makasilaw sa driver behind us.
I still plan to convert the third brake light to LED also.
You will notice the yellow and white strobes na sabay sa brake. LED na yun. Kaya kung safety and pag-uusapan, sufficient na sila.

Re: Ford Fiesta sedan LED brake light
Actually I have seen several cars in the metropolis who uses led lighting on their rear/break lights and they were not really that blinding, I find it much better using the ordinary 6V or 12V bulbs, malayo palang, kitang kita mo na mga brake lights nila when braking or stopping, maliwanag talaga.
So I guess it will be ok and cool if we see your Fiesta sedan Led brake lights blinking somewhere or posted here in the forum.
Just my personal observation on the first paragraph !
CHEERS to your brake lights make over, LOL 😀 😉 🙂

Nice project bro..but i hope those cdr king led bulb will last,
Because you supply it three times higher than its rated power input.:boom1:
Re: Ford Fiesta sedan LED brake light
Great McGyver stuff!
You can also get some bar LED bulbs from DEECO or other electronic shops and, with some soldering, same result and less cost.

The guru of DIY for the Fiesta is in the house! Sir as always i am impressed by your handywork wether in Tsikot or in Ford Club Philippines.
