In what way do they not fit?

The old ones (that came with the car) Fitted the whole gap, but the black ones dont fit as tight as them.

They fit into the clips and spring no prob at all, its just on the side where it meets the wing there is a very small little gap.

I got the new ones this morning and they do fit a little better, I will take a pic morro to show you the gap.


In a min I will put a pic up I took today.

Just double check to make sure you have fitted them tight enough, its quite easy to think they are fitted because they are tight but they made need adjusting.

There not in perfect, but are better then the set yesterday.

The DS Needs playing around with a bit more.

But the PS Is near enough spot on.

Here are two pics I took of them today.






And also a pic of my new sticker I fitted yesterday





Comments please

The drivers side looks pretty tidy but the passenger side needs a bit of work to get it spot on.

Are you planning on getting a set of Angel eyes to match your smoked indicators?

The prob is, the passenger side one is the better fit and you cant move it when its cliped in place, but the drivers side one you can.

Morro I will take a pic of each side to show the gaps and the way they are fitting.

Not sure really, aint thought about it to tell you the truth.

Was looking for a set of black rear lights today tho.

You may need to file the groove deeper in the top of the indicator. Its a common problem with aftermarket indicators on the 6n2

If you have any more problems then it may be worth putting the originals back on but having them tinted with either tint spray or film. I thought you would be looking to get a set of smoked headlights too because it might look a little weird having smoked indicators and clear headlights.

Its all personal choice though

I really want to get these ones to fit if I can, coz I do Like them.

If I could get smoked headlights for a good price it might sway me

Small sharp stanley blade

Im guessing Alex this will help the fitting at the back near the wing as well ?

correct

Would I be able to see the diffrence between the two, or is hardly anything.
