Swapping SL R230 rear lights

[BaldGuy]

I swapped my rear lights from the all red normal SL500 lights to the SL55 lights lastnight, however I sourced the 55 lights from a car in Germany, they fit fine obviously but the fog light does not work on the drivers side.

Am i correct in saying that on LHD cars it would be the passenger light that would be the fog light so the drivers lamp may need to be rewired for the RHS fog light?

All other lights work fine....

Anyone???

Don't you just need to source UK light circuit boards? I take it the loom connects to the circuit board and that clips onto the inside of the lense cluster?

mmmmm I will check this Karl... cheers

If the lights are the same just a different colour can you not take the circuit boards off your old ones and use then.

i would do as Andy suggests and just swap the outer lens and use the old board
