Hi all - I'm looking to swap my red rear lights for the clear style of lens on my 2007 black Vantage roadster.

I've managed to get hold of a left unit but can't find a second hand right unit, does anyone have one they would part company with?

Thought I would ask,

Many thanks.

Be cautious buying used clear lights. You might find the seal is damaged and they condensate very quickly.
Buy new ones and get the warranty.

I changed mine and thank goodness I bought new; on my third set, all under warranty!

I agree 2nd hand clear light units may cause you issues due to condensation. I know they are expensive new but if you want piece of mind worth the extra. Plus they are not that straight forward to fit, not a job I would like to have to attempt twice! We maybe in a position to offer some fully refurbished units in the future?

I would try and sell the LH and buy a pair of clear lights. There are some new ones for sale on Fleabay for about £850 a pair which is a good price and you know they're brand new. Also, if buying, don't forget the washers as its a good idea to replace at the same time to avoid any water ingress into the boot. You'll be glad to know that these only cost about £8.

Same here, have had both my rear clear lights changed under warranty, twice.
