I got some smoked side repeaters off eBay from Ultimate Styling Ltd and they won't fit because the tubing that comes out the back is not bent like on the standard side repeaters:
Does anyone know if these from Rimstyle are like the ones I got off eBay or standard ones?

They look like crap universal ones to me You could try separating the backing off the orange one and attacking it to the new one though?

Naaa, the orange ones wouldn't do that, I did try. Plus if I forced it, or cut the bits off like someone else has done and it still didn't work, I'd be without side repeaters.
The thing is, on eBay they weren't advertised as Universal ones - they were advertised for fitting on a Corsa B so thought they'd fit no problem.
Do you know if the Rimstyle ones are any better?

I did try phoning and got no answer. Only trouble is I started filing one of them to make it fit bit it wouldn't go. Also used one of the sticky pads  which had to be pulled off. Never mind.

If they didn't fit a Corsa and were advertised as Corsa ones, I'm sure they should bin them anyway. If not, I've got some spare bulbs etc and will just have to get different ones.
