Not sure if there will be much demand on here as these are for LHD but worth a shot.
One of the lights has a mark on the fog light section that I can't get off - not sure if it's residue or a scuff mark but please see photo.

No idea on price for these to be honest but I'll say around £150 delivered (UK) ono. If that's wildly off let me know, I won't be offended but I think that's around what I paid for them ages ago.

Thanks!

Pls excuse my ignorance. What makes the LHD? Would they not pass an mot if they were on a rhd car?

Does anybody know if there is a way to get the reverse side clear???

The lens itself is red so it would be impossible. That's why im interested in the drivers side one as my current one has a red lens over the fog light which can't be changed

They do have passenger side rear light with two white lenses though, mine look identical only the reverse light is on the passenger side rather than the driver side

Quicker and easier to buy a US-spec set off eBay like I did; challenge is then finding a red fog light bulb which is a lot harder than you’d imagine.

You can pint the clear one with red glass paint. Sold at hobbycraft etc

I think Stu was asking how to get 4x clear spots? Like the below. But maybe I misunderstood.

This is exactly what I'm trying to do, which is why I'm after just the driver side. They do not come as a pair. You can only get two white spots on one side as a pair, what is pictured there is two different sets merged (one set that had the two spots on the left side and another set that had the two spots on the right side)

So for example I currently have the set with two spots on the passenger side and one spot on the drivers side, so buying the driver side from this pair would mean I can get four spots. Does that make sense?

Yes you correct that is what I was meaning thanks.

Looked on ebay don't think I can justify paying nearly £600 for a set!!!!!!!

I paid £150 for my set a couple of years ago on ebay. Right place, right time I guess. I thought I paid over the odds, its seems that maybe I didn't.

Totally understand what you’re trying to do, just pointing out there is another way. 4x white spots were an option from new in the US; standard was 2 amber and 2 whites. What was pictured was the set I bought for the US via eBay a few years back - totally plug and play, was just a bugger to find a decent fog light bulb - red bulbs aren’t a thing so I had to go LED.

Same as the other poster, I paid 150 plus shipping a few years back. - just right time right price.

Sorry for hijacking your post OP - GLWTS
 
Hi Si,
I actually put them on ebay and they sold this week but to some guy in South America who is baulking at the carriage charge. If that (likely) falls through I'll get back to you asap!
