How much?
There are a bunch of people out there I'll never understand.
It's a flippin tail light - you can't even see it. So you're spending that sort of money to impress...who exactly?
Have a chat with your local dealer, they can probably do a never, ever lease deal for you on a new one. That'll properly impress the neighbours, until they come out with a new grill, then you'll have to change it again.
Actually, JLR have recently introduced a rental type scheme where you get a new car every 6 months. Costs a fortune but if impressing people is your thing, you'll always have the latest new car.
Me - I have a run-out 2019 model. It's lovely and in less than 3 years, I'll own it outright, like I do my beautiful Jag. Then maybe I'll get another Jag.

That's a ridiculous amount of money.
Personally I prefer the 'older' style to the new one

It's advert states that these are plug and play - they are NOT. The connector plugs are totally different, so you will need to make up a loom and splice into your existing harness. Whilst not impossible, rather you than me.
I assume, for the money that's what you're paying for, a loom to convert the old connector to new. Not sure how they're getting the indicator feed form the outer to inner clusters however, maybe more (expensive) wire explains the price!

I didn't explore much, but the pictures on the site look like the JLR marketing photos. I don't see a photo of the actual product installed by the seller.

I guess they feel that there is a market for separating some people from their cash, though the sentiment here doesn't sound like a lot of people would be interested!

I can see why LR have changed the design to follow the trend of 'dynamic' lights , but it makes
the DS more bland looking & dilutes the original design features which had a very distinct rear end.

I won't be changing mine
