You will also require the centre panel, two brackets that hold that in place, the screws and the key lock. Pretty sure the wiring is the same however it is a very small loom and i see no reason why the seller wouldn't just send it with the lights if required, could come in handy if you are going for the twin lifghts look :-k

Brackets to hold the centre panel and a rev 3+ bootlock as it's longer.

Also if it's a Rev 1 (maybe a 2 also) you'll need a hammer, the lights won't sit far enough into the bodywork otherwise :thumleft:

What if I buy a flush centre panel without the reverse lights what happens to the boot lock?

nothing stopping you covering the lock, if you never want to use it again.

TBH in 5 years of '2 ownership, never used the boot lock once.

Always very handy to have if/when the boot release cable snaps.
