Yes they are but also in the high level lights so can remove them

I bought pair of wakeboard tower lights off eBay and thought as they are all cast metal and sealed for use on boats they should survive inside the back bumper .
and because they are oval I'm making a couple of plates out of stainless with oval holes to fit the rectangle shaped holes :cool:

Ah but then you'll have problems with the ECU, it'll expect that there are two pairs of rear indicators. The solution is to bury the second set inside the rear quarter panels.
I was lucky, my truck was one of the ones with just one set in the bumper, so I swapped the position to the rear quarters by buying a set of 200TDi clusters.
The answer to your orginal question is Yes, the fittings are exactly the same, I swapped my original 300TDi bumper with pastic end caps that I kept loosing and lights that kept breaking for a nice 200TDi style heavy duty all in one bumper from DiscoParts.

I'm fitting the 300 bumper (all steel aftermarket) so I can fit spots in the holes to use as mega reversing lights . :twisted: along with the work lamps :lol:
I live in a very narrow street in the village and have to reverse out and down a hill (60 mtrs) every morning ,In the winter it's sooooo dark the standard lights just don't work :(

I dont have to reverse the same distance as you but i do have to reverse up my drive (40m) and line the nearside wheels up along a grass edge.
Wired straight into the reverse lights via a fuse
Works a treat
:D
lee celtic:
Thats the idea ;)
I've used work lamps to reverse before but I found they don't light up the road close to the car they just cast a shadow ten feet from the car thats why I want them lower down in the bumper :D
