Kinda hard to explain, you have to gently smash out the red reverse light surround, then fit a white bulb, its quite easy when you know how to do it.

maybe a video on youtube?

If you just change the colour of the bulbs, surely that means you'll have a fog light on the near side and a reverse light on the offside?

Yes but these lights are left hand drive, so the bulbs are the wrong way anyway!

I bought a set of LHD lights for my Mk6 last year, but sold them on eventually as couldn't get them to work.

In the UK, the foglight needs to be on the off-side, otherwise the car will fail the MOT test.  The lights I used (from eBay) could have a different coloured bulb added to one side, however (I can't remember which) had an LED molded in, so couldn't be changed.

I would recommend you get a correct RHD set of lights, with the fog light on the offside (drivers side).

They are not affordable, most of them on ebay are the LHD lights but the bulbs are changed around!

Xnenons are a rip off. They buy the lights from china which cost around £300 to buy yourself.

I got dark smoked lights from a guy in wembley for £250 brand new, but they are LHD. Hes always bringing over lights in containers and sells them on ebay.
