yes exactly. I picked up my 2024 defender a few weeks ago and had the dealer install the 2023 wheel arch protection kit and the fit is great as you can see below

 

Awesome! Thank you so much! I was literally going to return mine today, now I think I'll try to put them on.

 

good luck!

 

Got this from JLR corporate...

Our internal contact has advised the following, we have no Wheel Arch Protection for 24MY Defender as of yet. They are still in the final set up process as there were last minute changes with the side markers of the vehicle. Due to many global restraints, there have been some option and feature changes and delays in certain features. Land Rover is constantly seeking ways to improve the specification, design and production of its vehicles, parts, options and/or accessories and alterations take place continually. Some features may vary between optional and standard for different model year vehicles. I am truly sorry.

 

Huh... I wonder what changed about the side markers?

 

So I finally put the wheels arch protectors on. They fit fine but both front orange lights flashed real bright once and never worked again. No idea what that's about as the rear red lights work like normal. The first one I worried that didn't secure the clip all the way after I put the fenders on. On the other side I made sure to plug it in extra good and then turned the light on while the fender wasn't installed and same thing, a flash of orange light and then nothing.

 

Thank you for the update and uuuuhg

 

I had the wheel arch protectors installed at my local LR dealer on my 2024 SE. No issues raised by them and fit is perfect.

 

That sound like an blown LED, any polarity issue / did they change the polarity ?

 

Yeah I'm not sure. It does sound like that, I'm not sure what to do though as the clip only goes in one way. It's a little odd it's only the fronts.
