Default Rear D3 lights wanted

If any one has upgraded there lights im after some to give my rear end a rejuvenation ... my rear lights are scratched and after failed attempts at wet sanding and polishing ive still no joy .... looks awfull in the sun very cloudy and not clear ..

also if any one has any pdf of how much is involved in changing them are they a straight swap ?

Upgrading the rears on my D3 is on my to do list, so if you can wait a couple of weeks (ok, maybe 4) I will have a vgc set of pre facelift D3 rear lights to move on.

They should polish up easily enough, post a couple of pictures and I'll let you know my thoughts


This was the rear high vis brake light on my Range Rover before I started cleaning it up, no trick photography, no cheating, it really looked this bad

This was a half & half with a strip of masking tape to stop any cheating and show the difference



Finally finished
