DJ - Mobile centre do the LR OEM lights in OEM size, and in both clear (as SVX) and coloured versions. They're cheaper than Land Rover too, and Tim's a great bloke.
Remember that yuo'll need some sort of resistor if you go the LED route, to get rid of the 'fast flash' issue. HTH,

Cheers for that ,I didn't realise that Tim did the larger svx style clear lights, been on to him this morning and all explained clearly, TBo I was beginning to lose the plot a bit.
Tim cleared everything up so it's going to be a full set of rear,clear 95mm led lights which apparently will screw straight into the existing fittings, so a nice easy quick job. So wifey (style guru will be happy) probably not the best for retaining the 'original look' but at least they will be seen from the rear, and if I want to be original I'll use the 90 
I'll post back when I have them fitted, hopefully with pictures. DJ |

I believe that's going to be in the 'kit' that Tim is sending (when I place the order) as I did ask about it after reading some posts here about erratic flashing etc. (not a spelling mistake!) DJ Last edited by d j hutton on 28th Nov 2011 4:30pm. Edited 1 time in total |

The genuine kit does not include LED indicators.

I found that out today from Tim, they must be 'normal' bulbs. The Duckworth site lists indicators in the LED kit so I assumed they would be led's by apparently not. Good job you guys are on the case, I've obviously asked the right people.  I'd have been a bit peeved to spend £570 on a LED light to find that some were not led's!

£500 is hell of a lot of money to pay for a kit of parts that can be assembled for about £220 if you do some research with internet based auto electric suppliers.
The 95mm stop/tail LED lamps can be had for about £28 each, fog light is about the same, reversing light is the expensive one at about £75. Lenses for normal lamp indicators are about £12 each - saves messing about with the indicator relay, but if you want the LED ones are again about £28. These are all Perei light units and are available in coloured or clear. Get the ones with wire ends and fit econoseal male connectors to them, this avoids the need for a link cable which is needed if you buy the lamps with a superseal connector built in - Landrover charges about £70+vat for this 
You will need plinths for the stop/tail and indicator lights, the Landrover one for LED lights is LR009773 at about £7 each, note the central hole is smaller than the normal plinths so if you use bulbs for your indicators you will need a pair of standard plinths which are about £5 each and modify the mounting holes in these plinths. |

Here's mine, I didn't bother with the clear lenses and also used normal bulb indicators.

Nice looking wagon, just the size lights I wanted - hoping they'll be a bit brighter for others to see from behind, its clear for me though (I've been told) I'll be fitting them at the weekend.
I'd agree with that which is why I posted for suggestions and options, I think I've got what I wanted for a reasonable price (nowhere near £570 odd for LR supplied ones thankfully) Pictures to follow next week when all fitted.

you can get the 360 deg bulbs now so no blind spots |
