Yep. Fitted them to my Td5 90, have now removed them from that, and fitted to my Tdci 110 DC.

Very happy with them. Much brighter, good price, all the connectors, look original, (apart from reverse and fog, look abit bling)

I think that is what Chris Killer90 has but I'm not sure on brand. They are LED for certain though. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

I have them on my side lights and tail lights. They are brighter and very red.

I was following my own 90 [my wife was driving it] and they are much clearer than standard and money well spent IMHO BM52

Slowly getting the kit.

Have the front sidelights, very good, could easily drive on those alone if desperation required it.

Have the indicators waiting for a relay, which will come next month. Fitted the earlier squareish LED fog and reverse, look a bit different, but very bright, especially fog.

Day time looks like the FOG is white light, but that's just a lie by the camera

Just got an LED worklight from someone on here, changed all my instrument lights to LEDs, interior lights are both LEDs. Next year, hopefully LED headlights Twisted Evil 1998 110 300Tdi White Hard Top

I've kept as standard. Clear on the front, and coloured on the rear.

All look good and original, many people have asked about mine.

Another Thumbs Up for these lights as I have a set fitted and found them to be very bright with good strong colours. The main lights only need a couple of wires pushed into the connector to be ready to fit depending on whether you have a Tdi or Td5/Tdci as the wiring is slightly different between the two. The fog and reverse need the plugs fitting and you have to crimp on the terminals before they are ready to fit. Again not a very difficult job. The number plate light also needs a little modification as the bullet connectors that are fitted don`t suit the later wiring but again you can sort that out without too much trouble. Well worth the money imho!

Hello Simon,

I have the following set:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/8-RDX-LED-STANDA...35c7802f52

all look original although much brighter. I agree with Andy Landy that the rear reverse light looks a little bling, but it gives more light that the original.

The set is complete and even comes with the led relay and instructions.

The switch took max 30 minutes.

Highly recommended

I upgraded the rear lights to LEDs from Flatdog http://www.flatdoguk.com/search.asp?types=LIGHTING+%3E+LED

Worth it, the brightness is in line with new modern vehicles and you feel confident that people can see you indicating and breaking in direct sunlight. The colours are the same, don't let the camera colours trick you,

You'll need the new relay to manually adjust indicator speed. Also the polarity on my indicators were incorrect, I had to cut the wires and join them the other way around.

I've got a set of the RDX lamps was abit dubious to begin as I had a led number plate lamp which lasted all of about 5min, but these lamps are great nice and bright and don't let any water in!
