They didn't have a very good discription and the end time was awful ! But thought I'd take a punt and couldn't believe the condition etc when they turned up !

was really happy when I plugged them in and they worked !

Fair play

Everything's looking awesome alex. I have a small question about tinting the hellas. How does it affect your reversing light? Does it not appear red because of the tinting? Also how are the hellas wired? Is it just a plug and play job or do you need to toy with the existing wiring? I really want a set but im not sure about wiring etc.

Tinting the hellas does mean my reverse light will be red, although as some might have noticed these are left hand drive lights so it was already on the wrong side but i always had intention of tinting so didn't bother me. As for the wiring they plug into the back of the bulb holders. You will notice there are some pins on the back of the bulb holders that you can plug them in to. So yup plug and play no fiddling required

tested mine when i first got them and all seemed fine
Hope that helps
Alex

It also means your indicators go very red too!
Solution is to get some Green 384 bulbs and then they will flash orange again
Plus obvs red reverse light is illegal and will fail and MOT yada yada yada you know the score.
