Yep same one i got, they are very good quality, but there is no real way of sorting the reverse light as the red plastic is molded in....

So what are your plans, just run it as a red reverse light?

Ive spoke to guy who said he will have Depo lights in that are RHD but wont be in the UK for eight weeks  :angry:

Here's a pic of them fitted.

Ordered a red bulb for the fog lamp but as you say the reverse is more difficult.
There is somewhere for a bulb holder to go in but its getting the old one out without breaking anything.
I'm not too bothered and very happy with them.

The inner LEDs look brighter than the outers, is that a trick of the photo?

In the flesh they're all the same brightness, I put it down to the sun shining in the garage making the outers look less bright.

Just ordered one if these

As my lights have a position for a bulb holder and I know which wires are for reverse I'm sure I'll be able to sort this.

Have you had the light apart m8, it looks like it maybe a
Soldered in led instead of a bulb? Would love to hear how
You fix it.

Your right it does, but i think it involves breaking the seal of the light so you can removed the plastic soldered one.

Ill let someone else go first  :grin:
