You just enlarge the bulb holders mate, some people use a Dremel but the shavings end up inside the light and it's a fukin pain to get it clean, i used a soldering iron and melted the hole bigger. Stuck some Silver flasher bulbs in,can use orange bulbs but they look like a fried egg through the clear light.

Thanks mate, i got them from a friend of mine at a great price, i got a set from the states before and all it cost was the shipping as the yanks will gladly swap for uk lights.
Shipping is usually £65-£70. Thinking off selling the lights though and gettin the originals very very lightly smoked.
