None of the fixing points on the R3 lights match the existing holes and the light unit itself is deeper overall it took me a good 5hrs to get the lights to fit without a massive gap on the rear wings. They can be fitted but you'll need to re-drill the mounting holes and trim the bulb holders so they can be removed if you need to change a bulb.

As for wiring this is a piece of cake you can use 2 out of the 3 existing connectors and use the reverse light connector off your old light to modifiy the reverse light connector on the R3 lights. The most painful part of this conversion was the price of the R3 lights £299 each here in the UK.

I'll do a DIY guide eventually.

thaks for the info bro i actually have a pair in my garage that i was gonna sell but maybe ill give it a shot

thejew89 12-07-2009 02:09 AM

i usually wash mine every saturday morning before i go to work and then do the little detailing all throughout the week to keep it clean lol. but this week its been high 30's to low 40's so no car washing for me and with the schedule i had at work this week barely got any sleep either

mike[piston eater] 12-07-2009 02:11 AM

thejew89 12-07-2009 02:15 AM
