I'd say so mate :D

[andrewxsi]

yeah they fit ok, and it only takes 10 minutes.

[Mr Morse]

Yes they fit but you'll probably need to file down parts of the plastic locating lugs on the back of the units where the bulb twist fit clips on. Use a needle file, will take about 5 mins each unit and another 5-10mins to fit.

[Kazi]

Should be fine. May requir some little filing but Id have thought they would be ok. Fair price for them to, even with the postage.

[Mr Morse]

Does anyone know of a silver coloured red bulb - it's the 21W wedge type connection?

[jason_l]

or if you wanted to be different you could always cut them up and spray the insides black

Although from your avatar i asume you have a silver Lexus! :P

Jason :P

Mr Morse, I think you can get some LED type conversion (from the states maybe) that give off red light but appear clear when unlit

Yes, I've already tried that option (Mr LED is my second name BTW ) but the diameter of the LED is much bigger than the gap. The unit can be modified to acommodate an LED but the LED bulb is also too long and doesn't sit right in the fitting......

[javadude]

LED ones I've tried were rubbish. The red ones that came with the lights are dual filament and the fog light connector uses the low wattage wire plus they let white light out the base - an MOT failure, plus they're pink not red. The best light I've got is from clear bulbs painted red with transparent glass paint from a craft shop. They show a bit more red when unlit though.

Unlit with painted bulbs

[Mr Morse]

The best bulbs I have found so far are these:

PROLARG BULBS

They are red coloured right though, do not emit any white light and are brighter than the standard 7440 red bulbs or white bulbs painted red.

i got a set off eBay and the lines are virtical on one side an twisted on the other????

would like smoked ones with stop/tail bulbs now i have darker brake light clusters

[Lexus Jim]

I have to admit that since I've had the fog/brake/tail light conversion done, I've put the original red fog lens' back in as it looks much better.

I rekon your best option would be to darken the inside of the lens
