The LED Globes arrived on Friday and I just fitted them a few minutes ago.
Not sure how long the other globes were in but I couldn't turn the plug so I grabbed a pair of needle noise pliers and gently added a bit more leverage to the plug and it moved enough to complete the task with just my fingers.
The package had signs of damage in transit and I took a pictures just in case a globe failed when fitted.
A little longer than the OEM globes as the tape indicates.
And looking at the rearward facing LED cluster
The issue I might have had fitting was the globe position in the socket as there is no way to tell which side is positive until it's tested in place. Turns out that it's a non issue and the globe works correctly regardless of which way it is placed in the plug. Info on the website hints that for some globes to work properly they may need to be turned around and some will work regardless.
The RH globe fitted and compared to the LH OEM globe with just the tail lights on. RH side is a lot brighter with the LH barely visible
Then I asked Heather to operate the brake light and the whole RH lens lights up a little brighter than the LH one. Fitted the LH side and replaced the mudguard and side cases, took the mileage for the log book and she's ready to roll.
