Those look identical to those in the OP posting, if PowerfulUK are pedalling them, then at least you have a warranty in place that will hold water, much like the lamps if Nut is correct Laughing

How often am I wrong Laughing from what my friend experienced I would personally avoid! I much prefer the look of the genuine rear lamps which also mist up and they are a far superior quality! Your money your choice Whistle MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Well at least Powerful was able to find the mating connectors to make them properly plug & play. From their pics I would also guess they have fitted the required ballast resistors as well.

I gave up on buying these direct from China because I could not find the connectors anywhere.

That price from Powerful is pretty good in this case, since they have done all the hard work and will give you a warranty.

I'm tempted to buy a set from them now. 2008 Freelander 2 HSE Si6 Black/Black - Hers

The video shows pre-2013MY connectors. I wonder if they do the later connector too? Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

Seen these on PowerfulUK's site and wondering what the consensus of opinion was.They seem to be about half the price of the 2012 ones.

The genuine lights mist up, pesonally I do not think the ones made in China will be adequate for a wet climate! As stated earlier my friends lights for his Subaru didn't last long and another member on here got the fog lights DRL's for his FL2 which are attached to the fog light bezel and they pished in all the water.

I prefer the standard lights of both the older and newer models.
Think these new ones look quite cluttered.

It seems like change just for changes sake ....
.... is the cost/looks difference really worth it?

I'll certainly be sticking with my originals.
But each to their own Thumbs Up FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Have to agree with Ron! I'm one for mods but them lights look crap! I can understand people facelifting cars but if you have an older Freelander I'd rather keep the lights that are on it or save up and pay the difference!

They do look nice BUT I'd rather have a set of front lights for my (current) 09 plate that have led DLR's and are an easy upgrade

LED Rear light clusters

I have bitten the bullet, The full clusters with all LED rear lights that amulate the Range Rover Sport style are excellnet you can purchase these in the UK with next day delivery included from www.Powerfuluk.com they are great to deal with and sell some quality aftermarket assesories.

The lights are well made and look fantastic, they are also very bright and responsive compared to the incandescent originals, they are a perfect fit and just plug and play with built in resistors

and original fitment plug.

Go for it Very Happy
Rob

Rolling Eyes no way of knowing, doesn't seem to be on the face of what I can see.
Why don't you ask him, they might do rear lights for really old Range Rovers Whistle

Sorry CG Knowledge? No way of knowing? Not sure if aimed at me? If I can be of any help re above rear lights feel free to ask.

I have also fitted CE approved daylight running lights in the 2007 early front fog light pods and upgraded the headlights to HID and LED the whole package works very well looking good and giving much enhanced knight driving and safety which was my main aim as i cover a lot of miles and towing a 1900kg caravan quite often.
