Yeah, they really should. Would be better than not having them at all.

Like this (but the other way around for LH drive):
They also insist on a hard cut-off so low-beam in my ST had a distinct line where all light ended, which around here was not really what is needed for avoiding kangaroos when encountering on-coming traffic.
This makes no sense in the few markets Ford has that drive on the left so they have to make a different set of headlights for that market...
...it also means the US brethren with their Mexico-assembled Fiestas with halogen headlights would have to source their replacement projector/LED headlight units from Germany and not from the UK 
I can sort-of understand the economics around it but it's still penny-pinching. |
The Fiesta is finished in the US. No longer sell them there. Focus neither.
