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:

Keep us informed about the guy getting the RHD Depo lights please..

Fitted my red foglamp bulb so that's the car legal.
The reverse light looks easy enough to do so just waiting on the bulb holder.

I'm pretty sure it does. I doubt it would get picked up on anMOT as its not something they will be loooking for  :smiley:
