Yup should be fine, used to run similar on my old 16v.

BTW you will probably need to re-seal them because the sealant from the factory is crap and lets in water that causes them to steam up, just buy some silicone sealant and re-eal them.

If you leave them as indicators they will be fine, however if you intend to wire them us as running lights (as it says you can in the ad) then thats a bit of a grey area  :undecided:

I bought exact same ones last week, 6/10 for quality/fit, 10/10 for looks, I didn't wire up the running lights though didn't see the point.

Pic of them fitted on my Vento 1.8...
