I've just had a message from that eBay seller and he says they're definitely RHD.

Why is it so difficult for people to tell the truth?!!
Sorry to hear that mate. Are you sending them back or modifying them?

dunno yet, even when i got them out the box i thought they would work as they had a special adaptor for the LH side.

Awaiting a reply.

What colour is your reverse lamp?
If all the lamps are correct apart from a white foglamp then is it just a case if buying a red bulb?
Is the reverse light on the left and is it white?

No its red, thats the problem  :angry:

I can buy a red bulb for fog but it the left hand side one, dont think i can get in to the unit to switch the bulb or red plastic

Have you had a reply yet?
You'd wonder why so many manufacturers make these lamps but nobody does RHD!!!

From looking through your short shifter thread on the mk5 forum I ended up on your Photobucket library.
These lights look very good too :sad:

Spent an hour or so looking for compatible lamps.
Here's one
http://www.parts4euro.com/style-red-smoked-led-taillights-for-mk6-golf-gti-p-1964.html
These are listed as rhd with the option of lhd

Next up
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380646615829?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
These say halogen fog lamp and reverse lamps so you'd think the bulbs would be changeable.

Opinions please.

Have you had any luck with yours mate?
I use my reverse lamp to light my driveway when reversing so it needs to be white.
