Yes this is what I need! But what is confusing is if you google the part number what comes up is that the OE part comes with the trim right above it that needs to be painted to match. And it looks like they are bonded together?



The Ebay part you linked is just the bottom part, doesnt come with the upper trim like the OE part



How is the Ebay part installed? I thought the painted upper trim piece was bonded to the unpainted bottom switch/plate light panel? How did you separate your existing painted upper trim from your old part and put it on to your new unpainted switch/plate light panel?

Thanks, will definitely check for that too!

Range Rover sells just the rubber, I am going to order that if I can verify my switch is good. RR part number is FUH000030 if anyone else needs it.

By unpainted trim, just the bottom part with the license plate lights and switch? Is it unscrew, switch plugs, screw back on? I think I read it's bonded with double tape to the top painted trim?
