ok, just been next door and bought a pair.. what a bloody saga these lights have been.

when i ordered them they came broken, but (under agreement with the seller) i glued them together (the point they were broken at was one of the pressure bits that holds each bit to another..)  but its been 3 months now and no replacement. the problem is that they let in condensation on one side due to the broken part.

just been in teh dealership next door and walked out with a pair of the "Unit dimm" bits..  they're 18 quid each, cost 44 inc vat.

be glad to have it sorted soon :)

can remove the broken, swap in the new dub ones... and get my refund (arranged that already... )


btw.. your parts list doesnt have the number for the smoked blanking plate that sits between the indicator and the fog.


*crosses fingers its alright this time*
