Not sure if this is the same light housing the OP needs, but was browsing PowerfulUK site and came across this -- https://www.powerfuluk.com/vehicles/...nder-l663.html

This appears to be OEM and less expensive than other sites, even with factoring in shipping to US.

That is for a right-hand drive car. Don't buy this if you are in the U.S. Powerful UK sells a lot of good stuff, but I believe they only carry headlights for right-hand drive vehicles.

You can check other UK-based distributors, such as LR Centre, who carry headlights for left-hand drive vehicles. But these will also most likely be euro spec, meaning they will still be a little different than the U.S. spec headlights.

Maybe just an issue with the camera. When you look at it with your eyes, is it still the same? If yes, you are probably starting to have an issue with the halo. If that's the case I would take it to the dealer asap and ask them to order a new one under warranty. It is taking ages to get a replacement - at least here in the US. I am 5 weeks in from when my dealer ordered it and no hope in sight. I follow up with my SA every two weeks and nothing yet. He says LR stopped providing ETAs, since they were never able to meet them. Meanwhile I am very annoyed by driving a one eyed defender. The solution I found to cope with it, is to always turn on the headlights (and fog lights) - even during daytime, so I at least have some light on the failed headlight. Still looks embarrassing.

They should push an OTA update to disable DRL since this is such a wide spread issue : )

im one week into my wait and was told to expect it sometime during summer.

Default 2020 Defender head lamp ring issues

I had this issue last fall 2022 on Driver's side.Dealership where I purchased the vehicle asked the usual question "What did you do to make this fail?" as if it was even possible that I could have done something to make it fail! Waited for 2 months while dealership ordered the part and had it delivered. Waited another month for them to find time to perform the replacement (?) and I thought "Well, at least it's fixed."

January of this year, Passenger head lamp ring mysteriously failed! Again, must of been my fault, right? Wrong - strictly street and highway driving. Wife is realtor and impresses her clients driving them around in this gorgeous car. As of today, still waiting for the part to arrive.

In a related issue, shortly after purchase, I experienced several problems with the Info and Entertainment console and display. Flickering, freezing, not being able to connect phone or display contact list (wife went nuts!). Dealer, after determining that it must be that the software is not updating correctly (two visits to reach this diagnosis), asked for the vehicle over the weekend so that could "observe" it. Finally contacted the dealership owner and expressed dissatisfaction, with issue fixed within the week.

Love the vehicle, absolute dream to drive through the Rockies on the way to family reunion in Estes Park, but the electrical bugs are bewildering in a vehicle with this reputation and price tag.

BTW phone related issues could be software on phone side, my wife's iphone was IOS15.X-something and it refused to connect properly. Everything was good after upgrade.
