Depends whether your convertible is pre- or post-facelift. The lights you've linked to on "gumtree" (it's an ebay link) are facelift lights.

More info:

The M-Tech kits are also specific to pre- or post-facelift cars. Trying to fit a pre-facelift kit to a facelift car, or vice versa, is only going to look shite.

I think anything after f plate/ 1988 is classed as facelift. Pre- facelift would be anything older as in E plate backwards...(D,C,B,A etc)
