Very reasonable from a Forum Member....................
If you want NEW, go for the D4 ones, normally retailing via the forum approx £250-£270 plus delivery.....Keep a look out for a future group buy from Slimer, or contact Nick @ Yeovil Landrover

Notwithstanding their lack of effectiveness, I'm reminded of images like this when I see D3/4 lamp guards:
Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana

When I see you tomorrow its my intention to asess them, mine and yours (even though yours are D4) side by side so to speak........................then make my decision.
If I take them off, then off comes the fronts too

I could cut out the second plastic Bar on the guards so that it does'nt cross the lense, but then that would make them worthless if I decide to sell
No it won't.
You just sell them as suitable for LED rear lights.
Got guards on mine and they're staying on!I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

Bin them...IMHO light guards are a waste no protection and make lights harder to clean.

Have to agree on this - has anyone got photos of an event where they've prevented damage? The only rear cluster I've ever lost happened when SWMBO ignored the parking sensors and reversed into a tree - a branch punched a hole clean through the plastic! All the guardseems to be is a frame that would make no difference to any impact.

Am I the only person that doesn't see the point in this type of guard? They aren't going to stop a stone or rock. I say fit huge metal grills over them like on the classics. Looks so much tougher also.

Agree, they aint the same as old Light guards on previous LR models, and would seem are cosmetic.....Being constructed of plastic I cannot see what they will stop TBH..............but for now they are on, and giving a subtle balance of Black and Silver.
