They don't turn, they do what Hoovie says above and just mimic the indicators. The instructions are here;

led-fog-and-daytime-running-light-kit-ledfog101---installation-manual.pdf

However, I don't think they will fit a facelifted 4.3.5 - wait till you see the shape of the originals.

They are meant to fit, because the Rav4 is on Osram's list of compatible vehicles for these lights !!!

I noticed they said 2006 on but the earlier models don't have the longer bonnet and the angled lenses. Maybe they do a special or you have to just fit them as best as possible in the angled housing. Anyway I can show you how they look now.

You have to remove the bumper and there is one screw holds them in;

Its a funny looking thing with 2 brackets about 45mm from the back and 2 about 60mm.

The hole centres do seem to be about 100mm apart.

I took the opportunity to fit a pair of fiam wind tone horns at the same time;

There is acres of space unlike earlier models;

It looks ugly with the front off;

Funny you should say that...

I'm wonder sometimes, that Mr O'Hare thinks our cars are just giant Meccano sets.. :D

I have some potentially good new for you chaps with facelifts (RAV4 facelifts that is), or those reluctant to spend hundreds on that Osram kit.

Have a look at this post i cam across on the VW T4/5 forum. Some clever bod adding DRL style LED rings to your existing Fog Lights, and they appear to be done very neatly

Think the price is £50 for the pair (based on him getting your lights, modding them and sending them back).

EDIT: Actually, I think it maybe a kit he sends out, ready sized for the diameter of Foglight you have, plus wiring, etc.

Interesting..

Looked at the ones already done on the VW site..

I assume it fits behind the glass ?

Nip your motor down here with your valeting kit in the back, I'll do your wiring and then drink coffee while you give me a demo of your valeting skills :)

Tell 'em I sent you ;)

Actually, be good to see what this kit is about. The pics look great, then LEDs seem to be behind glass, but it is a DIY kit, so I am intrigued.

I guess a more commercial offering?

Gus.

Stay off aliexpress and allibaba, they seem to have some good kit for the Ravs.

I did find the kit you have mentioned a few weeks ago, but decided to go with the individual mini LEDs which I now have.

I think the kit you mention simply stick over the existing fog lights edges and you just connect up the wires...probably reliable and they look ok.

I'm a sucker for all that and willing to try all gadgets that make me even lazier whilst driving !!

.......I'm on those sites all the time 😄

[Guest]

It is all your fault I found the site in the first place ;)

Never managed to get anything from alibaba :( requested prices from various suppliers and never get replies. Interesting how often you see the gear that in the UK is labeled SEALEY and DRAPER, for example, sold under a generic name for so much less (bearing in mind not landed cost, of course)
