Excellent guide. Took me about 35mins to get them all wired up and working. Just gotta make em fit flush by trimming them down a bit.

Anyone else finding a slight problem with the bottom right corner of the lights not quite fitting flush by about 5mm this is after sanding down the corners and enlarging the right hand fixing point?

Yes as far as i'm aware it is not possible to get it 100% flush unless you shave off some of the plastic on the thread which screws to the bodywork.

Jus to add:- Make sure that the MK5 Rears have a seal on them like the mk4s do. I never caught this on. Ended up costing me a new central locking pump.
