yes they can.if you only have single rounds.you will need extra wiring and plugs for the inner square lamps.also it might not get through the mot with lhd lights...

This is aimed at driving RHD vehicles in Europe but the benders(oo eer!)just need fitting on the opposite side when using LHD lamps in the UK.

I am doing this conversion round to square lights and thought the small inner square lights were wired up to the main beam.

Am I right ??
