Well…everibody has its own opinion but adapting (slightly, according to the revieuw) taillights with a cutter …is not the end of the world, the wiring seems “plug n play” ,discrete reflectors could be found easily (even smoked, bright…) and then the E-approval should be applicable for most. A small sacrifice to pay to get rid of these “wrong” oem taillights…

Well, i did it…bought them and installed them and lets say i’m pleased for about 90%…the fit was without issues (seems they have been working on this…) .
The “wiring” issue remained leaving me without reverse lights. Khelan posted a tutorial about this (thx Khelan 
) and indeed, the wiring on that one connector needs to be “reversed” and now everything works fine.
I have the impression that the rear foglights and the reverse lights are not that strong (intensity) but the rest looks ok. Unlike the tutorial i did not receive the required reflectors …which i wouldn’t use anyway as i found them too big and to red…i’m looking for small (white/clear) reflectors to fit on each side of my license plate (something like 10/1 cm).
Generaly beside the wiring issue and the “weak” reverse/fog lights i’m very pleased with these lamps and i have 3 years warranty on them so lets see what the future brings (quality-wise)…

Try a motorbike shop for small reflectors that stick on plates

Great 
, didn’t think about that one, will try thanks.
Would a reflective sticker roll be “legal” enough?
Don’t know what the law says where you are but in the UK you’ve got to run 2 proper reflectors on the rear of the vehicle (either stick on or built into the vehicle) reflective tape isn’t an acceptable substitute.
Regulations are HERE if you want to read something that’ll put you to sleep
Thanks Khelan 
…and interesting to see that the UK regulations are almost similar to the Spanish rules (no “tapes” and only red reflectors). In Belgium ; same rules but above that the position of these things is also an issue; has to be max 40 cms form the outer sides inwards and minimum 30 cms above the floor but …no surprise there as we are the leading country in silly regulations…
Surprising that in UK you need to have “reverse” lights as in most European country’s you don’t even need to have them …
Before they were mandatory, on my earlier cars I always added them for simple self-preservation, so I could see what was lurking in where I was reversing into.
Having the switch on the dash board was useful at the traffic lights for when people kept on pulling up too close, almost touching my poor old car’s tender behind. A blink of the reverse light as I was about to pull away helped the persistent hugger’s thought processes.
Well…that is forbidden in Belgium, you don’t need to have them but if you do have them they should only work when in reverse gear. A switch is a TC (MOT) failure.
I was always dreaming of a 1000 w spot as a reverse light (with a switch) so i could learn some idiots behind me a lesson…

In the 1970s?
Looking at the pictures on the website, they may also not be compliant as the fog lamp could be on the wrong side; a single rear fog lamp must be on the offside (i.e. towards the centre of the road) or in a central position.
Much like Belgium there is a height requirement too, between 250 and 1000 mm off the deck but obviously these are compliant in that regard.
Fog light can be either side dependent on how you wire it up.

Not if you want to be UK road legal!

My comment was that you can wire the fog light within the lights to be either side or even have them both on.
The use of switches are indeed restricted in Belgium but it seems that a reverse light is mandatory since 1997. One is enough but two are admitted.
