Thanks for posting the pic! Do you happen to have any of everything lit up?
I'm not sure I'm sold on the new 2014 facelift black version on the LR3 (too fancy), but def interested in this.

I have done the facelift tail lights on my 06 RR Sport and my current 06 LR3 with zero issues.
BUT..........
You MUST wire in some 15w resistors / "load equalizers" minimum in-line on each turn signal wire, to ground, and you'll be good to go.
No ifs-ands-or-buts about it, the vehicle and TS module are looking for regular 20-25w signal bulbs, and you're showing it 3-5w-ish of LEDs. It thinks there's nothing there, and with no resistance will blink super-fast.
I don't know the wiring color-codes offhand but can look them up if someone still needs them. FWIW it's also interesting to note that I used my RRS tow adapter wiring kit on my LR3 after I sold the RRS and it works perfectly, there's just the duplicate pass-through wire harness for the tail light which isn't required since the LR3 does not share the same grommet like the RRS is forced to (for space constraints).
ALSO FWIW, keep in mind that LR offers the blackout-edition tail lights for select late model facelift LR4s. I took the time to do the research and find the part numbers and ordered them from my LR dealership, they look totally badass and are very unique.

Not mine, but interested and I saw this posted before
This LR3 also have the LED reflector replacements. I think it might look better if the plastic part above the license plate was painted body color (like LR4s).
