   You don't need to change any of the bulbs just simply take the bulb holders out of the old lens ( unclip from the inside ) and clip into the new lens.

    A lot of these smoked jewels come with seperate reflectors which you stick onto the bumper.Mine did but I never bothered putting them on & i`ve never been stopped by the governments stealth tax collector or failed an MOT.

    Hmm, I don't like to take chances as much, I'd probably get away with it as they aren't completely black. But I could end up being stopped by a copper who just loves rules and would give me a VDRS.
    
    If I could make the reflectors look like the Astra 3 door sport then it'd be sweet.
