Just out of interest do the units have a fog light capacity on both sides or are they handed L/h or R/H drive ?

I have thought about this upgrade before and i have never got a reply from the seller when i have asked the question .(they proberbly didn't know).

So if you could let me know it would be much appreciated.

By the way they are sooooo coooooool

just installed the LED tails...
good news is that it looks pretty cool...
bad news is that the assembly is bit shorter than the OEM...
another bad news... u lose sidemarkers...
i fitted the top sections fine but then there are gaps at the bottom...
can't really tell from the distance... i just hope it won't damage after rain or car wash... suggestions?

left side is LED tail and right side is stock

Those Led Lights look cool

How did you get on with the Fog light issue, are they handed,or is there no capacity for the fog light on a led upgrade.

If the fog light is the side marker, then excuse my lack of knowledge.

I don't think the gaps are to noticable, to an untrained eye they are ok.
If you seen the gaps on a series one ml, i think you would be more than happy with your results

So i take it that the lamp has the capacity for L/H or R/H fogs then, or maybe duel fog lamp usage, if the wires were extended to the other side of the loom.

If so, that would be even better rear protection, in hazzard conditions.

Do you think these will burn out quickly like the w203 ones?

by looking at the box, it is different from w220 style lights for w203...
so i hope the bulbs won't burn out after few months...
