Bulb Chart (Mk2 Fiesta)
Bulbs fitted to the Mk2 Fiesta
A list of the correct replacement bulb types and wattage to fit to all Mk2 Fiestas (1983-89). It's important not to exceed the listed wattage of the bulb as you may end up with melted plastics or even a fire, I'm sure most of us have seen the effects of the wrong wattage bulb on the heater panel for example. The original interior bulbs can nowadays also be upgraded to LED replacements which give a brighter appearance and should be longer lasting. The information in the table below is taken from Ford Fiesta Workshop Manual.
