Anyone brought these lights?
Any one brought a set of these lights, Im thinking it could go either way at that price, also are they IVA ok?

I bought a set like tha (as single units) at Stafford last year. Cost me £22 for the lot iirc.
Not sure that is such a bargain on the bay?
Mind you, mine might not be the same quality as those but they seem OK to me.
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

I brought a set (sold singular) from Premier looms, but took them back as like as felt they would sit to close to the wheel if surface mounted.
I know have Multi lamps similar to Caterham.

Make sure the fog and reverse lights 'face squarely to the rear' widely interpreted to mean they need to be vertical, difficult to achieve
on your average seven. Even the angled holders you can get from CBS etc don't allow enough angle to get them vertical.

Got same fitted on mine and passed SVA fine.
Although I had to modify them as even with the mounting plinths, the tyre would rub on the indicators. (The tail lights were ok as they are inboard of
the tyres.) So had to shorten the bulb holder section and remove the silicon to enable me to bend the contacts at right angles (before resealing with
silicon) to give the necessary clearance.

SVA ok in your case, IVA maybe not OK. In the IVA manual it does say "must face squarely to the rear" so if they slope the tester would be
within his rights to fail them (although maybe he wouldn't)
