I think I read somewhere that said they can't be, you'll have to buy new ones. But better ask someone who can confirm this.

retro fitted as into an old set of lights? if so then yes but you have to mess about with them and cut bits off if i was to do it again i would just buy the whole unit new and sell the old ones

The one my mate bought fits nicely, so inconsistent built quality maybe?

They arent bad but they aint that good either for £320

I just think they are tough to get them lined up and stay correcty and they are made from thin plastic and just feel flimsy. The clips for the grill are piss poor and tbh the light from them aint that great either (even the diamond ones).

Thats just my opinion and i've had a few sets now
