   Two white ones they sit under the existing indicators but as the angel eyes are one piece i can't see a way of getting them back in.

   They really aren't hard to fit, make sure you get them properly aligned afterwards so the beams point at the right place on road

   need to cut the side light bulb holders off and on mine i connected red wire from side light to white on angel and green to black.
   
   I had no wiring instructions so it was a case of trial and error

    There are various fuses that could be blown, somewhere on here is a copy of tables/diagrams for fuse boxes might be worth having a look or trying google

    A few guides around about how to do this (MK2)
    
    I did mine myself, just ensure the crimping is secure
