They look it to me, yet I can't see any e markings etc, can anyone forsee problems?

Sorry, still on my drunken shopping spree, wait until I hit 'the bay'....................

sweet, probably the cheapest source I reckon, was following a landy and noticed them and had a moment of inspiration.... (that's my 2008 moment gone, I'll have to wait until next year now )

They'll be the same. At the end of the day there aren't hundreds of manafacturers out there making different fog and reverse lights for the likes of us home-builders.... The money is in OEM stuff and they'll obviously have faired in lights.
After market fog lights are a pretty small market....

Camberley Auto Factors sell an 'E' approved and marked "Ring" Fog light for £3.98 including the bulb and bracket and Inc VAT.

I bought one today!

thats one good mark up if they are the same.

whether the same or not, the Defender ones will work just as well.

I have the lamps - fog & reverese, less lenses and less bulbs (that you can buy separate from paddocks) - make me an offer and they are yours.
