Hey guys,

Found these on ebay. Was going to bid on them myself because I'm looking for some, but the reverse and fog lights on these are the wrong way round as they are from a german car by the looks of it. Cheap though.

Also, while I'm on the subject - if anyone does have a UK pair of these that they are selling, let me know!
 
I used one of those German light as a donor for the rhs reversing light lens for mine, to give me genuine white spot quads with no sprays, tints or films.

Worth it if you like projects
 
Hmm... how about if I took a dremel to my existing lights and these? I could cut out the fog and reverse light fronts and swap them on to the german ones. I could cover up the join with the plastic french fry piece. Would that work? It would save re-wiring. Or are the bulbs/power different on fog and reverse lights?

You can certainly chop the complete centre lens out. Match the surfaces and rebond then, hiding the join inside the car panels and french fry. That's what I did.
Not sure abou theh wiring of the reverse and fog. You'd have to check that out yourself, although I simply uise silvered/clear bulbs that shine the appropriote colours. Red silvered for fog. white that shine yellow for indicators and clear white for reverse. Should be doable.
