the lamps are stamped hella or ulo on the lens. you will need the bulb holders from hella ones. just undo your original lights. pull the wiring plug out (it will be stiff prob) and pug in the hella bulb holders. these will clip into your new lenses.

HELLA to ULO

So your new SMOKED lenses are made by ULO which means the bulb holders will also need to be ULO type because they fit differently, NOT HELLA (if I'm reading the initial post correctly)

I'm sure you're right, it's just how kooldubs has written his header that is slightly misleading lol

There are 2 brands of rear light for the T3 from the factory.

Hella.

or.

ULO.

There is no rhyme or reason as to what would be fitted to your van.

Smoked lights only accept Hella bulb holders, infact all aftermarket lights I have seen accept the Hella version.

If you want to fit alternative rear lights you will need to buy some Hella bulb holders.

The plugs are a direct swap and no mods are needed to change between Hella and ULO.
