I have just treated myself to a set and just about to go fit them, there are no instructions so any tips on how to get the old ones off without:
a) chipping the piant
b) loosing the bulb and wiring inside the wing.
cheers

Use either a razor blade or a feeler gaugue to get them off, seems to work best.

rooster,
I got mine off with my fingers. Takes a bit of prizing and I guess you've done it now anyway.
Also worth turning the thing around as it may be a better fit.

Hey FFG guess what? damn well got the wrong ones, just been back to halfrauds to get the fiesta version instead, so thats another week I have to wait. Did manage to get the old one off with a soft cloth and a very thin file, hope the new ones fit!!

They should be standard Ford fit - can't recall the size but they are more round than oval (Think they are known as small oval). There is another type but theyt are more torpedo like. All car accessory places sell them for around £10 a pair. Try it both ways as it may fit better in reverse. Also you'll need orange bulbs to be legal.
If they aren't sticky on the back you might try some silicon to complete the seal.

Thanks, they were £18 for the oval fiesta ones, I have ordered them because I NEED them NOW!, I got the special smoke effect ones.
