Valeo oem inner rear lights - need swapping lenses. HELP!
« on: June 17, 2014, 02:29:42 pm »
Hi! I need help. I have a LHD car equipped with valeo LED rear lights. Need to register it in the UK and thus need to change inner rear lights (fog on the right, reverse on the left). Tried to buy inner used lights - no luck at all. Read every single thread about swapping lenses on the inner lights (as they are dummies). Bad luck for me -  I am not a DYEer with cars. Can anyone recommend a specialist or a company that could do the swap? I am near Oxford. Please help! Really got stuck with these rear lights.

If you have a lhd drive car your wiring will also need to be played with, not just the lenses,

Good luck with finding someone
Loads of extra's and retro fits.

Thanks for feedback. I do know about wiring but hoped the local garage could deal with it. Now the rears is a real challenge. For me car is just a nice means of transport, I am afraid. I dont even have a clue how to take them out.

By the way, does anyone know if they were ever manufactured for RHD as such? why are they so difficult to get?

No RHD version was ever manufactured as VW UK did not want them as an option for the UK market.
