Henny 0 Posted February 2, 2004 I've read about some people having this problem before... The simple answer was to file the holes in the tailgate a little so that the lights can be aligned perfectly with the outer lights... 8) don't forget to put a dob of anti-rust paint on the bits you've filed if you do this though! :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daves16v 1 Posted February 2, 2004 Thought about this but the body of the light pushes against the big opening in the tailgate so opening the small holes would do no good. I would have to open out the big opening and I don't want to go to that extreme. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted February 8, 2004 Wow! They really suit that colour Phil K! 8) You could do with some silver indicators though! :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daves16v 1 Posted February 8, 2004 Fitted mine earlier in the week but wanted to wait till I got my 17's on so here it is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted February 8, 2004 You could do with some silver indicators though! :wink: Yeah I know :oops: I don't think the flash on the camera helps as they don't look that orange to the eye... should have that one sorted in the week. Did anyone use the supplied bulb holders? I was able to use the original holders and a bit of tape to hold em in place as I didn'y really want to cut the loom 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3RKD 0 Posted February 8, 2004 my std bulb holders stay in mine fine too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daves16v 1 Posted February 8, 2004 I used the supplied bulb holders. I crimped new spade connectors on to the wires, worked a treat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted February 8, 2004 apart from having to slightly persuade the orange bulbs in to the holders I can't see why they didn't just design em to use the originals :roll: not important though.. am still well chuffed and kinda like that they have "special edition" written on the lens' :mrgreen: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(hence why they come with different holders too!) If you look at the rear molding you can see where they've just not cut out the holes in the lightbacks for the clips for the original bulb holders... I've just drilled them out and the original bulb holders then fit perfectly. Oh, and I've got some straight pin'd silver (shine amber!) bulbs for mine too... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vr6corrado 0 Posted February 9, 2004 Wow! They really suit that colour Phil K! 8) I agree with Henny, I only thought they look good with dark metallics such as blue or black but they look great. I think they look better than the originals on mine but not as good as on some colours.
