Carlab rear indicator/reverse light units....Question

Can anyone who has fitted these units please answer a question for me. It will help in sorting a problem I'm having with mine.

 

Q...when mounted to the car which direction do the led reflectors face. On my near side unit they face to the right IE towards the number plate, and on the offside unit there angled to the left, IE towards the number plate also. Is this right ?? Thanks

Ok don't have photo at the moment on my phone will get one tonight

Also make sure you wire fogs in for MOT passes ! You might need to run a wire from one side to the the other to do this

I'll upload about 6-7 pm tonight

Many thanks for your help.

Of the two units I bought recently the locating tabs on one of them fit the near side light position spot on with the locating tabs on the unit matching the locating holes on the bumper exactly. I tried it in the offside location and it wouldn't fit because of the tab locations, as you'd expect.

However the other light unit doesn't fit either the offside or the near side locations because at least one of the locating tabs is out of position. I could just cut the offending tab off to get it to fit in the off side position but the problem is if the wrong unit has been sent to me then I'm worried the led reflectors lenses may be facing the wrong way. That's why I need to confirm from other members which way theirs are angled.

I'm now even more worried because as I said above mine, when mounted, are both angled towards the number plate. I've also been in contact with another member, Mopedmark, who says his are both angled towards the number plate the same as mine, but if yours are different then which is correct??

I'll wait to hear from you later and if you could reconfirm which way the reflectors face I'd appreciate it.

 

I've completed all the wiring, including the fog lights and have re-sealed with sealant, everywhere that could possibly let water in and am now waiting for my bumper to come back from the paint sprayers having left it on the lawn the other day while working on the wiring when a gust of wing blew it onto a stone wall and scratched the hell out of it. Bugger!
