[quote=""nando999""]Hi Turks, I'm an impatient person so wanted it right away. Found a place in the midlands but wanted £55 for the LED bulbs, told them where to put it and ordered it from HID Direct.

I've taken the driver side bulb out and it looks considerably smaller than the LED replacement, will it fit without modification?

Thanks,

If the new ones look like this then yes they fit perfectly....the old ones are shorter but there is room inside, twist to fit.

Mine came with a cable but that wasn't needed....the connector went straight in the back....although it was a tough fit

mine wen bonkers at first as I tried the second one without the keys and one I fitted before (that did work....didn't) and the side light came on

Lesson....just plug the damn things in without overly messing....making sure plugs into back are well seated

Turn on and admire...

Yes mate, if you have bought the marker lights from HID's Direct then the Holder should be practically the same as the OEM and therefore just be a direct replacement. The LED centre is bigger than the BA9S bulb in the OEM holder so don't worry...
