The round ones are easier to fit as well, no need to worry if they're straight or line up with what everybody they're near etc.
I've used the same type in my mirror covers

Don't know if you know but the button round leds are marked with "top" so that would make them directional. Just saying, no big deal, thought you'd like to know. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I assume with them saying top its so they don't blind other vehicles, good to know,

They look bright don't they, there going to replace the ones at the bottom of the front bumper so should be ok, I just hope there's enough of a lip on the bumper to mount them. N

You'll need an 18mm hole and the overall diameter of the rubber bit you see once fitted is about 27mm

Think I might have a problem :? The lip on the bumper is 20mm me thinks, I'll have to measure it in the morrow, but I could always cut the bumper a little bit and fit them slightly higher :P how waterproof does the wiring seem. N
