They are in great condition and are an ash black kind of grey but black. Same colour as the car. Do you know if bumper has to come off to put them on?. Where are you located. Could you get to me?

Yep can get to you where abouts in Essex?

No you can take the fog lights out and get onto the bottom bolt fixing with a u jay extension.
The twins have a extra wiring loom to power the spots. Just bolts onto battery and has a converter to fit light plugs as there on a multi plug.
Are they crystal type or,the older type?

Cheers

Southend is no problem!

No wiring to change mate. From standard there is a multi plug that pops onto standard lights they have wiring and relays internally where twins don't. When you buys twins you get a wiring harness that has relays and a multi plug converter!
All you should have to do is unplug the wiring harness loom and they they multi plug should be there to pop on the lights. Should be a 20 min job.
Hope that makes sense!

I just sold a pair of mint standard lights of a low mileage car and am in Essex too. Always the way, they do come up on eBay though as I managed to get a brand new pair.
