Can you take a few pictures. I'd like to see how they compare to the OEM lights. So picture of both sets fitted at the same time would be good to see the difference.

Just checked the banking and it looks like to get them here from Dectane, paying via card transaction online, not Paypal, came to about £233.

I got some from dectane for my 'loon, really gets on my nerves that they don't offer a full led set!
On the saloon the reverse and inductors are bulbs, think on the avant the only non led part is the reverse light - cant understand why they can't just put led's in them all!
Still reckon they look better than oem, just a bit fresher and more modern.

Would sticking in white LED bulbs in place of the standard ones the stick in the reverse holes flag anything on the car?

Shouldn't do. Got led side lights (front) and led number plate lights on mine with no problems. You just have to make sure they are bright enough to help when reversing

I have LED side bulbs too but even with my gibbon-like hands I struggled to get the originals out. I didn;t want to brake anything so went sod that for a laugh. I have read that they just puul straight out so will give it another go when I change the rears.
