Yes. But Land Rover also used different sizes. I think these must be somewhat unusual because other sizes have been reproduced in LED replacements but not these.

Getting the lens screws back in after they have been removed is, or at least can be, an absolute nightmare. I think I have one of mine where I simply gave up and it is held in place with one screw only. In my opinion they are absolute rubbish and very poorly made.

You have been warned!!!!

It was so easy to screw the orange lenses on but nearly impossible to screw the clear lenses on again, when they are without reflector. I was wondering why.

The reason is that the reflector gives, beside aesthetic reasons, also an essential screw guidance due to a drilled hole, pointing the screw close to the thread. Therefore it is not a failed design if the reflector is used.

Concerning the mesh grill I was wrong. Everything is ok and nothing has to be done. If you see the first pic on page 1 of this thread when the car was almost new the mesh is bright, the two last pics taken recently show that the mesh has darkened by aging during 2.5 years. It was not only the light which was responsible, I saw it in the metal again yesterday and the mesh is darker now in the way I like it.

And here again two pics for comparison because Photobucket wiped some of the old ones away, especially all without the reflector in.

here again without reflector, it looks a little bit sober, light orange bulb like a small dot. I do not like it so much.



with the reflector you get a subtle spread of light orange colour which in my view looks warmer and this is the way it is, I like it. As a side effect the indicator light is stronger under daylight conditions due to the reflector.

BTW, if your white indicator lamps come without the reflector just take it out of the original full orange unit. Beside the nicer look the reflector also helps a lot to guide the cover screws into the right direction.




In case of my colour I do not like the full orange covers, but it really depends on the colour, perhaps with BRG I could like the full orange covers.
