Re: Rear lights

Re: Rear lights
I got the OEM tinted (Alltrack) units for mine from LLL - 2018 Tailgate (Rear Lid)

For RHD (Left hand traffic) vehicle choose wrong RHS fitting if wanting a matching look - You have to use a RED (preferably LED) bulb for the rear fog then.
I think it is worth doing if you are changing to tinted units

Re: Rear lights
Not quite sure what exactly you mean ?
The fog light is still the same position, just without a red filter. So you have to use a red LED bulb (or a red filament bulb, but not as nice).
OK ?

Re: Rear lights
Alltrack rears are tinted.
Also came with factory Xenon upgrade option I believe.

Re: Rear lights
Thanks!
I’ve got factory xenon’s to fit this week - I’ll go for the All track rear lights once I’ve decided if I’m doing tailgate conversion or not
Thanks for the info

Re: Rear lights
Crikey! I’ve seen new sets for about £1,600 but didn’t realise the second hand ones would be similarly expensive. Clearly in demand!

Re: Rear lights
High demand - Top of the list Mod.
Even better when upgraded to 35W (New bulbs and ballasts)
