Puma rear stop lights
Hi.
2014 Puma 110 Utility - Trying to avoid converting to LED (if possible) but keep having to replace bulbs in both stop/tails lights.
I have LED's on another vehicle and they're great but would like to keep this stock if possible.
I've tried sealing the joins between the twist-in bulb holders and the lens caps with plumber's PTFE tape(!) but water still seems to get in.
I now have hairline cracks in both lenses due to me over-tightening them - so I'm looking to replace with OEM parts - any advice on this and where to buy from? Thanks. Local LR dealership is asking £52 per lens! Looks like Rimmer Bros, etc are selling the same item for £8!
Any advice would be welcome!

Try ‘Boltonbits’ on eBay and get the Wipac standard style lights. I think you’ll always get some kind of condensation in them, unfortunately. But the better brands you may stand a slightly better chance. 2017 5.0 V8 Supercharged RRS SVR

Hi, the original manufacturer for these was LE Perei, or LEP, now part of the Dun-Bri group. These lights are better quality than the alternatives.
Their website has been showing out of stock for a couple of years, since when I first tried to get some.
I suspect they don't make batches very often now, if at all.

I'd agree the Landrover price of £52 +vat is crazy, and the "OEM" alternative is worth a try for £6.70 + vat.
The photo of the Rimmer OEM light is marked LEP, but that doesn't guarantee they won't send a Wipac light.

But in the end, only the led lights are really condens free and stay that way. a defender from 1984 pretending to be a puma with a touch of Range Rover
