Once you know what you are doing it is literally a 2 minute job each side. Just be careful when you are putting the lights back in as they don't sit very securely and you don't wanna drop the light into the glass.
    Thanks chaps, sounds ok .

    CORRECTION!!!!!!! Just fitted the LED's, and remembered that you turn the wheel out, not in, on the side you are fitting. Took me about a minute of going "jeez, I know i had a big tea last night, but didn't think the fat would get to my arms that quickly!" Then realising that I had to turn the wheel out not in!!

    Also moved the Osram ones to my puddle lights, so the inside floor now has a nice bluey/white tinge to it!

    Think I will need to order these as well.

    I have the set from Mikeys that are ment to be brighter but they just look the same to be honest.

    Thats the reason why I ordered the LED's, i thought, I bought the Osram ones, and they are not what I want. Its only a few quid.

    Another word of warning, they will only fit in one way to the actually light housing, so watch you don't knock they out and drop them into the housing when putting them in!
