Hi Lebouch, that will be because you have bought later model Focus lights! Equally I've done two and they were deeper than the recess in the LR part.
Either way it doesn't matter.

Enjoy and have fun modding the freelie.

Kind regards from Fred

That makes sense

I've just fitted one to my 07MY and I had to trim inside like said earlier,the light was from a 98/04 year focus.

Just bought a Mk3 Mondeo light from Mondeo Spares on e-bay, identical to the one currently in my MY11 freely, same Pt Number on it. Paid £13.98 inc postage, half the price people are charging for LR light listings. MY14 TD4 manual XS Orkney grey.

and my loadspace / boot light mod is nice and bright.
purchased 4 x circular LED low profile lights from Maplin.
2 fitted on roof liner, and a 3rd fitted near existing light

perfect illumination for me

Looks very good. How did you wire those up PCHeaven? are they just paralleled from the existing boot light? any idea of the Maplin Pt Number. MY14 TD4 manual XS Orkney grey.

hi,

I removed the side trim by the existing light and wired them in there.
3 bright lights, positioned to eliminate shadows that you get when you install just the 1 light

edit: I forget the maplin part, will look online later 

these look like the ones

might even get some more, and add to my camper... 

Thanks for the info  MY14 TD4 manual XS Orkney grey.

Hi Fred, just in the process of changing a MY11 XS for a MY14 XS which has lost the map lights. Questions 1)What year Focus did you get the light from? 2) had my MY11 light apart and it has a single wire on the right which seems to be the neg and a double wire connector on the left, does the non map light loom have the two wire connector?

This is exactly what I was thinking with my 2014 as I miss the separate map lights from my Freebie Classic. Looks like it should be a straight plug-and-play job to upgrade it.

Yes it is straightforward Gordo, the Granada one I fitted has the same part number on it and it needs no extra connections. MY14 TD4 manual XS Orkney grey.

Reviving this very useful thread - I've just ordered one of these to improve lighting options in the front, should just be a straight swap for my single festoon bulb lamp:



No extra wiring to do just plug and play:

Yes it will be Westville, I then used the original single unit above the load space after buying an extra mount the same as the one above the rear seats, connected it in parallel to that one running the wires above the headlining. MY14 TD4 manual XS Orkney grey.

I'll certainly use the "old" unit somewhere - will explore your idea also  No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS

Looking at the options for improving the abysmal boot lighting and fitting the map light unit(*).

What is the part number of the ford interior/map light that "just fits", no plastic clipping required? There are quite a few on eBay that look correct IE, rocker switch not slider, overall Fresnel diffuser with circular lenses(?) behind for the map lights not diagonal section ends, Trouble is the dates given are 2006 to 2010 or 2007 to 2014. The same part number appears in both date ranges. Needless to say the ones going up to 2014 are the more expensive ones and not a lot cheaper than new.

Boot light, was half way through mounting a couple of LED lights http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IXOSA7A, with added diffusion behind the LED cover, on a nice bit of teak and fixing that to the roof lining were fredastaire has mounted a stock interior light. That does look very neat and as if its always been there by design. I have some reservations, single source in the middle, you'll shadow the boot if you lean in and the spread from the stock light isn't that good. Holding my little LED lights in place produces a good even level of light with only a little shadowing.

The Ikea or Maplin led disc lights again neat but lack the "by design" aspect.

My new bright idea, is to see if a couple of the oval the boot lights can be fitted into the plastic pillar covers. Snags I foresee: The pillar covers are too curved everywhere or if not there won't be enough depth behind. No nice bezel, if the pillar is flat there will be gaps, messy. The lights will be looking forward and glare in the rear view mirror, especially when fitted with LED bulbs. A tilt switch in the hatch so they only come on when the boot is opened or maybe one get at the "boot open" signal somewhere? Very similar looking light units are on ebay for Ford Galaxy, VW Sharan and Seat Alhambra, further research required.

(*) Already done the foot wells, wiring and holders were in place. After boot and map lights the next challenge is the door puddle lights, blanking plate in door, no wiring from the door module, voltmeter on door module terminals doesn't show volts when I think they should be on. Going to talk to the stealers and see if the car needs to be told it has them and if so get them enabled and the mirror approach lights, Approach lights will need a bit more work as there is no blanking plate in the mirror undersides but the wiring is in the door to where the mirror mounts.
