Hello everyone. Apologise for ignorance but couldn’t find a similar topic and started a new one.

 

After days of research and exhaustion I can’t find LED tail lamps on the market for RHD cars. Own a MK2 Fabia and all of them (including cheap Chinese ones) are for LHD cars. 
 

Do I miss something here? Do you have amy idea where I can find a pair?

 

Thanks

could just fit LED bulbs.........

 

 

Yeah, saw that but don’t know why rhd are not available? Is there any restriction or something or the rhd market not interesting for producers?

 

That’s a shame...

They don't make many RHD, it's a very small market, and once they're all sold that's your lot.

Nopurge, Is the real difference just the reverse and foglight? You could most likely run a trace wire from each, to the other and have them wired that way! It will put the lights the other way round but its only a small difference, not like the dazzling effect of incorrect fronts. I have heard of people fitting a LHD rear right, for an additional reverse, say and then fit a separate foglight in to the bumper. The same could be done for an extra rear fog and a replacement reverse to the bumpers centre, if you see what I mean.

 

If you really want LED lights, it may be a little work but do-able. If you do the wires cleverly enough, you may just be able to retain the bulb holders that are already there, to swap back in case there is an MOT issue. You will then just slip on your old units, and back to LED's afterwards, in around five mins a side.

 

The only thing about LED's for the Fabia, is some people thought the available units when turned off, look a bit, well,  like turds!  LOL.

on a diff note.................just wait till you buy a car that already has LED lights

Easy option is to simply keep your old lights, Put them back and on for MOT day, Job done.

 

Your other option is to split the lights like others have done in the past and swap the components.

My post covered swapping for MOT reasons but that said, I very much doubt it will come to that. Never been failed for having LED's up front or little prismatic things in the Yaris's headlights. Just got an advisery for them every year.
