    @Fastlane, I just received my Mars tails. There's no red cover that needs to be removed for the reverse? Either they are producing them without it now of they pulled it out before shipping.

    Got a quick question for you mate, whats doing with the reverse light? The instructions say to put in that little adapter thingy but do I need to buy a new globe for it?

    PM me your mobile number and i'll send through the pics once I figure what to do with the reverse

    OK all sorted, im still unsure if I like them or not. I honestly thought they'd be darker (not as see through).
    I'll post pics once they upload

    They look good... it only looks that light as the sun is shining straight onto them. Eddie's look darker but I think that's due to the time and angle he took the photos.

    BLN, when you brake, do the brake lights look pink to you? I went to LED's due to this issue...

    Yeah as Gary said, they look a LOT darker than how you took that photo in real life

    That adaptor thingy I believe has something to do with supporting of LHD models...

    Yep pink brakes
    Got a write up on how to convert them to LEDs?
    Pretty sure I received lhd versions as the chrome tray in the stock lights fog light is in the other side. All I did was remove the fog light and swapped it over to the reverse and vice versa. No error codes so far so must have worked.

    Just wrapped my reflectors body colour too as the red stood out too much.
