Interesting, yes please post info, Be good to know if the rear lights plug straight in or not?

Nickj, do those wing mirrors have blind spot monitoring? Also, what was the cost of them?

Would be interested to know which MY your car is?

My car dosnt have blind spot monitoring so no they don't. I bought units with puddle light, and power fold, so in theory should be plug and play. Cost was £230 inc the caps in the LR pearly black. If you wanted blind spot they would have 2 leads coming out where as mine just has one plug.

Do you think certain years will have different complications?

Had a couple of minutes today so thought I'd see how hard the rear lights were to change. Looked in the rear panels in the boot thinking you'd get access from there. Nothing obvious. Then saw a flap on the outside. Levered it up, undid 2 screws, unplug the connector and light was off! Literally took 2 mins!

Popped one on just to see. No codes and worked perfectly.

Forgot to take pics without lights on and not great pics as getting dark. Like the look though and the solid line. Tempted to leave them on but fought the temptation as want to make all the changes in one go!

Nickj....that 230pounds is for 2 units right?
Also, where abouts did you order them from? Any online link if possible would be great. Thanks.

Yes, I will be changing front bumper. Not sure about headlight connections yet. Picking up my 2016 headlights today so will compare connections at the weekend.

Yes, £230 for 2 inc caps and post. Second hand but they are mint.

Search Evoque wing mirrors on eBay, and they are a company called WLRLTD

I phoned then direct for that price, speak to Sarah. They do lots of LR parts and I've bought a few bits from them and always been good. I got my rear lights from them also.
