Clear Rear Light Lens' - same on pre 13MY?

I'm trying to repair/replace a shattered cover on my 13MY rear offside cluster - seems a waste to dispose of perfectly good lights which are all undamaged Banging Head

Question So does anyone know:
1. Is the clear outer plastic lens cover on the rear light cluster the same size & shape on both the 13 MY unit and the earlier models?
2. Is it possible to get the thing off in one piece? Anyone done it - any advice?
3. Does anyone sell just a replacement cover?

Sold as complete cluster I am afraid, new cluster needed.

eBay would be your best bet, single lights are always advertised much cheaper than a main dealer Thumbs Up 2013 hse auto, black, almond leather, exnon lights, factory privacy glass, exhaust finisher, rear boot spoiler, mud flaps. Body door side moulding and steps.

The MOT regulations dont seem to say the light units on either side of the car must be identical as long as they show the correct colour light and brightness for the purpose, so one assumes you could fit an old early light unit to one side and a later one to the other, might look rubbish but you would be legal, even if it was only temporary whilst you track down another of the right type at the price youre willing to pay??
You might even set up a new fad, maybe like a Picasso version? Laughing

Unless the legislation has changed I agree. I once stuck a 1985 rear lamp cluster on a 1988 facelifted Cavalier as a temporary fix to get it through an MOT, which it duly passed. Whilst they looked totally different, the lampholders were still all in the correct places and there was no contravention at the time. Even Thames Valleys finest didn't bother me driving around with it on, and there were a lot more of them out on patrol back in the late 80's than there are now! Foraging near Gaydon....

In order for Westy to fit the older unit he would have to change the connector not a big job but is it worth faffing around forking out for a second hand older light and making the changes Whistle MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Thanks fellas for the info and advice - much appreciated
(Like my new shortened user name "Westie" Thumbs Up

I'm too much of a Scot and adopted Yorkshireman who is now living in sight of Geordie land to pay LR the full price for a replacement - my investigations into vandalism have drawn a blank so I'll just have to put up with the temporary sellotape fix until I source a replacement.

If anyone spots one a quick post or PM would be much appreciated Bow down No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS
