The ones I have bought just need a red lamp for the fog, the reverse light is white. Not had chance to look at them to see if its an easy change

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.

Havent done anything with reverse light yet, ive just put
A red bulb in the fog light for now, im off work soon so
Will get a proper look soon.

Was it wasy enough to open the unit to get access to the lamps? Did you fit a red LED?

They dont look OEm at all, look a bit cheap in my opinion.

The only decent RHD ones are Hella, but £500 is steep
