Morning guys.

I bought a pair of tinted rear lights for my H reg Cab the other day. They had the standard rear lights in there with the vertical reverse light. The ones I’ve bought were tinted with the horizontal reverse light and they don’t fit. AHHH.

I was under the impression that they should fit the car, but I’m obviously wrong??????

I think that is because it sounds like your car had pre-facelift lights and you bought facelift lights which are a lot bigger.

Hope that helps :D

Paul is correct. Vertical - Prefacelift. Horizontal - Facelift.

Some early H plates will have pre-facelift lights, cab's didn't change to facelift until late 1990 :)
