I'd love to have two back up lights. I sometimes hit the rear fog light as I go to reverse just to accomplish this.

There was a thread a couple of years ago, where it was indicated that they had some from the late model cars that had been used in crash tests. Got the lights and wiring harness, then followed the directions posted by George Kale in a PDF file attached to an earlier thread.
Been working great for two years so far.

Here is a listing for the 'kit' to change the rear tail lamp assemblies:

Personally I feel Ł791.67 excluding VAT is a bit much to pay just to have two reversing and fog lamps, but I'm sure others would feel differently.

One man's depreciation is another man's opportunity.
You can't always get what you want, unless you get a little help from your friends - patience and depreciation.
The road of life is short, so enjoy the ride!
This photo was directly in front of the treadmill in the cardiac lab when I had a nuclear stress test at my local hospital. It spoke to me and said: "You have reached the end of the road." That was over 4 years ago. Still here and enjoying the ride in my Jags!

Similar to the Stock analogy, The multi-billion dollar Lloyd's of London was built on assuming the risk we would not.

my stunning radiance red 2007 xk w/15k miles may not be worth much now but it certainly looks like a $100k machine and all the people that stare at it endlessly likely think similarly.
I am not selling it so what do i care? Gorgeous car and always delivers me in style!!!!

Ask a BMW owner of a two year old I8 about depreciation. They can be bought around the Los Angeles area used for about $80,000 or well less than 50% of its original sticker. Depreciation comes with the terrirtory of luxury cars. Since, like others, I keep cars forever, it doesn't really matter so long as you're happy with what you bought and you purchased it at a reasonably competitive price.

As soon as you drive it off the lot it will probably be worth about $60K less than the already greatly reduced asking price. Many used 2016's are now advertised at ~50% of the original MSRP! Talk about steep depreciation.

I *really* love the Caramel interior. 2009 has a few upgrades over 2007/2008. You should have a fun enjoyable car there!
