Which headlight bulbs does my Ford Mondeo need?

Question

I have a ford mondeo and it is a GLX from 1998 has five doors and is a manual transmission. I think it is a mark 2 and it takes petrol. I want to buy some new and brighter headlight bulbs and I have been told H7 and I have been told H4 and I have been told H1.

Please shed some light on the subject for me!

and thank you for your time.

I dont want to buy the wrong ones.

I want the Philips extreme power bulbs and they are not cheap. So I really want to get it right.

Answer 1

dipped beam(outer lights) H7 go for phillips vision plus,cos they ok for plastic lens ,uv protected some lens go yellow if you use cheap bulbs.

Answer 2

Your car uses H7 bulbs for both dipped & main beam.

I've had a couple of these age Mondeos, it's usually knackered reflectors rather than poor bulbs that are to blame - If your lenses are cloudy or the reflectors dull, look on Ebay for some decent headlight units instead.

Answer 3

definately h7

Answer 4

Answer 5

Best thing to do is call the Ford dealer. They can cross reference the VIN number and look it up in the catalog. That way you can get a more accurate look up and cut through the hear-say.
