Will the pre facelift ones go straight into my Tdi?

Fitting involves removing part of the bulkhead behind the existing ones, and there are wiring issues too. There are 2 guys selling instructions on eBay, or you'll find various instructions around the Internet. It's apparently a fair bit of hassle but not insurmountable. I've not done it, but I did look into it a while back; at the time, the facelift light units were going for quite a high price, so I put some decent bulbs in instead and solved the problem for under 20 quid.
Or you can pay Simmonites about 50% of the value of the truck and they'll do it for you :shock:

They are exactly the same as the silver rimmed ones. 10 minutes to fit a pair.
Shop wisely on eblag and you will get a set for £25. They are getting cheaper as people upgrade to the facelift ones. :lol:

It's actually pale silver - always shows up white in photos.

Did my td5 conversion. Took aprox 1 day and i think it was well worth the effort. This link to mine might throw some light on it http://www.lro.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9411
