This afternoon, I noticed that the plastic cover on my right brake light cover has been smashed. I've no idea how it happened ( the bumper hasn't got a scratch ), but can anybody tell me what the part is called so I can find a replacement?

I'm hoping it's just a screw-on plastic cover, but I'm guessing it's going to be some integrated part that's going to cost me hundreds.

edit: I forgot to mention, it's a 1998 XK8 ( UK, right hand drive )

 

Are we talking the rear light unit? If so I got loads

 

How about this ?
Jaguar XK8 Right Tail Lamp Light 2001 2006 New LJE4900AB RH | eBay

 

Ridiculous amount of money, from jaguar they are only £100 let alone that wrong year

I can do one delivered for £40

 

+1 on that...£750 for a Front Lamp !! The link was to give the guy a heads up on the part number.

 

I don't want to split hairs but it would of been the wrong part no....... mrobinson has a 98 the part no. On eBay was for a 2001 different lamp

 

Agreed i also not splitting hairs but i looked at the table below the listing...

This part is compatible with 10 vehicle(s).

1998 is listed as compatible, anyhow as you probably know the base number is the same for all MY's, only the suffix is replaced in current MY changes.

 

The part no. is LJA4900BD that is for 96-01 R/H

LJE4900AB is for 01-06

C2N3718 is for 03-06

The last 2 part no.s are interchangeable, the later lamps are the tinted type, those lamps will not fit in a 98 car unless you cut a big chunk of metal out of the light aperture on the car body, the light units are about 1.5" deeper, I know this as I have done it too many times to count and sell the replacement panels....

If the listing is saying they will fit, it is wrong

 

Don't you just hate it when they list stuff wrong!
Your £40 one is a bargain and it will be like for like fit....if I ever need one I too know where to get one now, appreciate the correction in ext trim parts.

Thanks chaps. £40 is better than I expected.

 

I'll take you up on that. Is this on your website?

 

No, I take them as part exchange when I do light conversions........ do you PayPal?

 

Yes, I've got paypal.

So we're clear, this is what's broke:

 

I am sure I will find you a decent one amongst this lot
