Title: Fog light/reverse light swap
Post by: saadn on November 27, 2012, 11:19:42 am

Hi, I ordered some r32 tail lights from Germany so they're LHD. They're yet not here but I wanted to know if swapping the reflecters has the same procedures as for the OEM led tails. Can anyone shed some light on this? There is a guide on here  (post 347) for the leds, would the normal ones have the same fittings?

It's easy pal! Explains its self once the lense is off! Everythin just unclips! I added a clear filter into my rears so now have matching clear rears!

Swapping the lenses over was a bigger mission than I thought! I expected them to be a straight swap but they required trimming and even then it wasn't a flush fit.
