Did you have any issues with fitment? Bumper off I guess? Also, fog and reverse light all ok? Guessing it's a red bulb on one side?

Oh, and dud you get charged any VAT?

Nope, no issues with fitting at all.
1. Open boot
2. Remove plastic covers over rear of light, 1/4 turn thing.
3. Remove wiring plug.
4. Remove 3 8mm nuts on rear of light.
5. I undid the 3 philips screws holding the piece of trim from around the light.
6. Little shove and out comes the light.
7. Swap over lights, re-fit new bulbs and do the above in reverse. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Easy, no bumper off.. :thumbsup:

Did a quick change and fitted 5 new red bulbs and 2 amber for now (£5.95 from local accessory shop). Until my led replacements turn up.

Total cost was $125.63 (£80.30) and have had no extra's. No VAT,No Import Duties, nothing..(As yet).

Magic, thanks Jack. Don't suppose you have a link to the LEDs you bought do you?

No problem. I was expecting to have to dismantle half the rear end too. :)

If you can wait a bit until the led's arrive and I've checked them out.? Wouldn't want to give anyone duff info. :cry:
 
Well bugger!!!!!! Just got an Import Invoice from fedex......£19.72.......... Darn it.

Still no LED's yet....
 
Bought direct from company. Arrived in three days. Genuine parts and no extra duty paid. Top deal and will be on the car tonight. Thanks for the link. Would recommend this company.

Ok will wait to get it. Still pleased with lights. Look great with clear third brake light.

i have a facelift so makes no difference to me, but could you post a pic, interested to see what the clear 3rd brake looks like with them :)
 
Also couldn't be bothered waiting for the group buy - and tinted them to go for the 4-spot look. Now totally de-gingered...

Didn't bother with step 5, as the lights just push out. Also refitted the french fries :thumbsup:

Did you fit new bulbs, or just use the set from the old lights?
