For those of you with hid's, there is a recall to fix amber side markers.

EDIT:

The led strip on your headlights have three amber leds's on the end of each strip. These lights should light up with the rest of the leds. Mine havent worked since i bought mine.


UPDATE:

Written by Press Release

10 Aug 2013

SUMMARY: Ford is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Focus BEV vehicles equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights, manufactured September 15, 2011, through May 6, 2013; and model year 2013 Focus ST vehicles equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights, manufactured February 16, 2012, through May 7, 2013. Due to a wiring incompatibility, the front side marker lamps may not function. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

CONSEQUENCE: Without the proper illumination of the side maker lamps, the vehicle may be less visible in night time conditions, increasing the risk of a crash.

REMEDY: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will modify the headlamp assembly wiring, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in mid-August 2013. Owners may contact the Ford customer relationship center at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's recall number is 13C04.

NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused. Mines is a February build date. Are there supposed to be more LEDs then the ones seen here?

Edit: Ohhh, do you mean the ones at the side? The three orange reflectors that looks like a wing?

No the amber marker lights in the inside corner. They're supposed to be lit up too. They should have a two filament bulb.
