Hi, have a 2010 and noticed earlier that both rear LED lights looked cracked as if they’ve been hit in the centre and cracked out over lime a spiders web. The black inner parts that are next the to boot seem like they’ve been hit as well. Just wondering if this is common for them to crack like this, seems strange that both are the same though. The bumper is unmarked so don’t think anything has reversed into the car when parked, would have had to have been something like a wagon with a high bumper.

Any signs of interference, aka someone trying to undo the catches on the lower tailgate who may have been levering against the lights, causing them to crack?

You can buy new lenses for around £45 each. Not cheap but considerably less expensive than replacing the light units. 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8

Never thought of that but upon checking there’s no damage to the lower tailgate or just inside the trim. It was in a garage a few weeks ago which let me down by not actually doing the work on the brakes, got loads of excuses but no work. I’m wondering now if they’ve swapped my good lenses for someone’s damaged ones. Wouldn’t be able to prove it though so stuck with them.

Spotted these on eBay - maybe worth watching / bidding (nothing to do with me).

Thanks JCW will probably go for the ones off the Supercharged as I’d like to keep it original. Got up this morning and someone had thrown what looks like milk or cream up the side of it so thinking it may be a disgruntled neighbour or something.

Time to get some CCTV and make sure you're not parked even remotely inconsiderately. 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8

I have also experienced cracking rear lights and have an idea what causes it.

There is a breather and filter at the back of the light unit mine were completely blocked.

If the breather is blocked then temperature changes cause pressure or vacuum in the light unit something has to give which is either one of the seams split and you get water ingress or the lens cracks.

One of mine mists up so will look at the breathers - never knew they existed so thanks  2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Nor me. I’m off out to check mine right now. That’s why I love this forum.

They all seem to look ok.

Took JCW advice and won the supercharge lights off eBay, interesting about the breather holes though had never thought of that as a culprit I must say.
