if its on a classic you have to have a fog light in the offside one.

You'll need alot of sealant around them as well or they'll leak water like a good 'un.

Use a hair dryer to loosen the sealer on the original ones, they come out a lot easier

5 nuts either side
hair-dryer for sealant as above
use plenty of newsealant when fitting new uns ,also as above.

as for fog light,i wired my fog light switch into the o/s reverse light and put a red bulb in it
ok,i lose a reverse light buy they aren't needed for mot's anyway
i do have a dark garage as well, at night,lol... and dont have any problems with just the 1
the red lights,i got 1 with 28 led's in it and beleive me , its bright
