Aftermarket taillights

After my wife thought it would be a good idea to drive the fattie into her 6 series beemer, i needed a new taillight

(You should have seen the beemer’s bumper

So looking around, I thought I would take a punt upgrading the rear lights. I’ve often felt the original rear lights were a little fussy and busy compared to the rest of the styling of the car. Equally, I’m not that much of a fan of the newer style lights as they have a fair chunk of chrome in the bezels around the light which on my car where its gold and black accented, I just couldn’t see it working / looking right.

So instead, I figured the compromise would be new style, but blacked bezel lights … fitted this afternoon, and I’m very pleased with the result. The black matches in with the rest of the mouldings and gives it a nice clean unfussy look and retains the original LR design look rather than being blatantly aftermarket and different looking.

The lights were from eBay, and came with the pre-2015 adapter loom already fitted. The plastic feels fractionally cheaper/lighter, but they fitted perfectly without any hassle and were plug and play. V8 or else ...

I thought these were original until I couldn’t find them other than aftermarket.

Consider some of these I think!

Is that to look like a rolls or Bentley ?

To me that’s the aspect of aftermarket I wanted to avoid .. in that you’re going for a completely different look from manufacturer…. And it ends up being just that, a stick out.

They’ll likely work just fine, but not for me thanks. V8 or else ...

@Wrecker79:

Just search on Aliexpress.com for “L405 Range Rover Tail Lights” loads on there….. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

2006 Range Rover Vogue Td6 Zermatt Silver

Looking at the first post on this thread, I think the replacement lights look a lot classier than the ones that were damaged / removed, and they also tie in with the look and colour of the car perfectly, nice one

They look great, plug and play and presumably they are also cheaper
