Could I change the headlight bulbs from halogen to the new high strength bulbs on the market now and do I need to get it adappted in any way

You can change your headlight bulbs from the standard bulbs to xenon higher strength bulbs yes. You will however have to be careful they are aligned properly after you have installed them and you may need to upgrade the fuses associated with the headlights in order to get them to work properly. I would suggest speaking to someone in the shop you buy the bulbs from. I believe they have specific advice for each make of car.
Hope this helps.

It depends on the year, but there's a kit from Ford Racing to install HID lights on most Focuses. It uses the parts that were found stock on the SVT Focus and the Mach Audio Edition, and pretty much replaces the whole headlight assembly.

If you're talking about xenon...
I think you need an entire headlamp (not just the bulb) to make the conversion. Also, there might be an issue of how much power is fed, which makes me unsure if anything needs to be done with the electrical.

Frank I don't know anything about this question but you were kind enough to contact me and I've been trying to reply but I haven't been able to get through to you as your link has not been verified. Whatever that means! I tried 3 times, so I used my initiative! Didn't want you to think I was being ill mannered!

yes, just make sure the fittings are the same.. i like to drive shall we say, quickly. i tried these xenon lamps, bloody awful... so i fitted 130/100, you have to buy them in pairs and your not supposed to use them over here in the UK..but, wow, at 85 on any motorway or country lane, not only can you actually see where your going, but other folks know youre coming..300yards ahead is like daylight.. and when youre going quick, its nice to be able to see ahead, instead of thinking you can see ahead. and at 60, thats barely 4 seconds....
