All US spec L460's will have turn signals intagrated into tail lamp like in the Youtube video's. You can thank the DOT for not allowing us to have the EU spec turn signals in the tailgate.

 

Aw, man! It should look like this:

 

I am assuming that LR will not re-tool their assembly line from European to US builds just to delete/change certain features. I am guessing that the tailgate in my incoming '23 will be able to accept the European lights (which I will try and source) at a later date.....anybody have any input?

 

it is almost certain that the tailgate is the same for US and European market

 

What does the “Read” in the thread title mean?

 

Typo, “rear”

 

There is no separate tailgate, just regs in the IS don’t allow turn signals in the tailgate. Won’t change for 2023 and beyond either. I do hope we can swap them.

 

Update from recent dealer training in Las Vegas on cool horizontals European blinkers


Everyone I spoke with was certain that the vehicles intended for the North American market cannot be retrofit to that style blinker/hazard unfortunately. That black strip along the tailgate is a black trim piece, not a light/lamp housing. It is also not wired to that part of the vehicle.
Apparently in North America, any hazard or turn signal lights need to be a part of the body of the vehicle, they cannot be part of the tailgate hatch in North America.

 

blinkers in the tail gate look very cheesy to me personally. They don't fit or flow what so ever. Looks like they did a "oops we forgot signals....where can we stick em now?" my .02

 

Are the turn signals amber or red on NAS vehicles?

I’ve never understood why vehicles in the USA still use red turn signals while the rest of the world uses amber.

 

NAS uses red or amber. Both are legal and both are found on NAS vehicles new and old

Has anyone purchased the EU spec tailgate strip and installed it on a North American Spec Range Rover? I am in the UK this week and tempted to buy the part in hopes of finding a wiring harness connection in my 2024 L460

I have seen several US youtube videos (must be '22.5) but I am hoping that the '23 US deliveries will have the amber sequential horizontal lights in tailgate not integrated in vertical brake lights. If not I will certainly inquire how to retrofit my truck accordingly because I really like the way that looks.....

 

Any one have any updates or knowledge of making this change?

 

I researched this topic and found that the US market Range Rovers were not wired to accept the black trim piece with the cool integrated amber cascading blinkers. I also discovered that although the trucks computer can be programmed to allow it the truck does not have the necessary wiring to accommodate but can be added by experienced mechanic…..that’s when I threw in the white flag.
Hope this helps
