so are they spot on, as good as OEM or close?

Do the re-wire look hard, whats involved?

definitely looks the part...   :smiley:
i'm curious, what comes on for  reverse and fog light respectively before making any wiring mods? this might give a better clue for making mods.
I'm thinking if it'll just be a matter of bulb swap, as current setup should light up wrong colored bulb but on the correct sides, if this makes any sense at all..

But surely when you put your car in reverse it tells the wrong side to light up?

Really awaiting response from Candy...either way im gonna get them, ill get my electronics guy to sort if i cant.

Unless you can modify to have a red fog lamp on the right then they will jot pass an mot or be legal in the UK.
From what I can see changing the wiring will make the fog lamp on the left and reverse on the right!

Had another look at the lights tonight and it seems that ill have to replace the fitted clear fog light with a red 21 watt bulb, which will replace the dull 16watt fitted bulb, as for the reverse light im thinking it maybe a led that fitted as i cant find a bulb inside the fitting? Ive temporarily painted the fog light with red paint, and ive ordered a red bulb from the bay, these lights have definetaly been one of my best purchases so far!
Just wanted to let you guys who are thinking of getting these, that they are great quality and fit etc. hth

So does your rear fog light up on the right(driver) side and the reverse light on the left?
did you do any wiring mods? if you did, some quick guide will help us future buyers..  :smiley:
