ISTR something mentioned on that in a previous thread whereby due to the change in the layout of the lights within the headlight the light guards would block the new patterns... hence they didn't make them after 2013 ...

But if you find some that do fit please let me know Thumbs Up I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

When I specc'd my then MY 2016 D4 I asked for front and rear light guards to be supplied and fitted. The rears were although they are made of plastic and what proper use I am not sure. As for fronts I was told they did not make them for D4s anymore and that fitting ones designed for previous versions would interrupt the lighting beams and pattern.

The previous poster's suspicions seem confirmed. Jim

Wales 

ISTR they stopped because of mandatory DRL and the 'guards' would cover the DRL lines ...they have always been plastic ..as much use as a chocolate kettle Thumbs Up 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Didn’t someone make some DIY clear ones out of a plastic?

I’m sure I remember a thread on it!

Yes indeed if they are what you want. I was you 5 years ago when I ordered my D4. I have to say that the rears only looked meaty and were what I wanted. I think you can still put earlier fronts on but they will muck up your light beam and especially if you have cornering lights.

The plastic rears shattered when I bumped an exhaust I was trying to fit into the rear and missed. A pain but it did show them up as cosmetic..

Good luck in what you do... Jim
