hey guys, wanna fit myself some MK5 rears, found some LED ones on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Polo-Mrk4-99-0 ... otohosting

however they are LHD (by the looks of things). My reverse light on my MK4 is on the other side u see. Right, now is this a failure MOT? my reverse light will be red and so on. Any advice on re-wiring? or MOT advice? etc

i had the clear version of these on my polo a while ago and they were left hand drive to. yes they did fail the mot but depending on where u get ur mot done they will be able to sort it out for u, mine did n e way. u might be able to sort it out urself, im sure someone else will know.

the fog light will need 2 be swapped sides, but thats not hard, its the reversing light i was worried about as it will light up red. But apparently the reversing light doesn't matter as long as it works?
