i cant remember if they'd fit best thing would be to look at the ones you've bought...by that take your old ones out and check...
i.e. pull the repeater back to the door and wiggle it about push it down and then it will come out easily....
then have a look for yourself matey!!!!

Just keep pulling, i thought the same thing when taking mine off one time but nothing broke. VeeDubs are solid!

Hi mate, those are the same ones I have you will need bulb holders for them, which I had to buy from VW cost about 17 for a little rubber thing and loads of wire rip off but you need em. best thing to do get a knife normal eating knife and some cloth/towel any material wrap it round the end of the knife and then prize the repeater out from the door side and it should unclip!

You dont have to have side repeaters or even any, as long as your front side indicators are working not a problem

and yes they are the right ones but you need the bulb holders!

I've never needed bulb holders when I changed indicators on the cars I've done it on, my old Pug, my mum and dads old Audi, my brothers old Clio etc

Those indicators if they are the same size have the exact same fitting as mine, and when I tried to install them I had to purchase bulb holders from VW for the bulbs to go in as on the back is a different fitment than from my standard indicators S reg 98 polo
