How out of interest did you get on fitting these in and splitting the light as I want to do this

few ways you can find out. if you have a bench power supple set it to 12v @ 0.2A (200MA) - attach the wire and see if the glow. then note the polarity.

multi-meter in diode more and check wires you should get a reading with the correct polarity. and if not correct you will get 0 reading.

Thanks mate il look at getting some of these , I have the touran black 4 pot lights currently so may be worth practicing on a cheap light from a scrappy.
Is it just gentle heat around the seal ?

Yes not red hot otherwise you will melt the plastic just take it easy and don't rush it I've done them on my 4 pod 👍
