Lights look awesome. Impressed that they even came with bulbs already fitted. Just hope they work
Will post up pics later when fitted. Thanks Money for organising the groupbuy.

just been tinkering about wi mi lights n bits of wire
, and i reckon the easiest way to sort out the rear foglight problem is to change the right hand reverse bulb for one of those red ones from ultra , they're pretty good and definately no probs passing mot. I know their are other ways , and it might not be everyones choice , but it's just the easiest route without altering looms and drilling lamps etc

lol at Kwev, but then you only have one reverse light.
Its really not hard mate, just drill a little hole where i said, only takes about 10mins and thats it. Dont have to worry about looms. Just your rear fog light fits into it

Note for everyone fitting the STI type lights.
Discovered a slight technical hitch when adapting the lights for fogs, It doesn't matter how careful you are when you drill out the back of the light for the bulb holder i.e use a hoover at the same time etc. the small shavings of plastic from drilling/filling fall into the light cluster and somehow get behind the internal reflector.
Now you'll find it's a right bastad to get the stuff out, try'd the Henry hoover approach with no success in the end I had to blast the pressure washer inside the unit but I've still not got it all out.
So beware!!!
