UK Ebay, they have the cheap clear ones and the nice Crystal ones minispares sell the cheaper (and in my opinion) tackier ones.. |

i have the frosted kinda white ones, even with red bulbs the light given off is realy pink - the wof guy doesnt like them too much, crystal would be better, but i have money to spend in other places first |

You will need the Rover style brake light bases though too Trix , the clear lenses won't fit on the Australian clubman base . |

Yep Ian is right you need to put rover rear lights in and then the clear lenses, rover tailight 's fit straight into a clubman without any mods, i have done this here's a pic. Steve

Just thought I would mention that the clear lenses in the photo above are not legal in Australia.
So buy a set of normal Rover lenses for when the defect arrives.

biggest problem is that there are no reflectors which are a roadworthy item - just go to the $2 shop and get some stick on red reflectors to mount on the bumper (where you can easily get the glue off later without scratching the paint) or get a little artistic with reflective tape

I had a clear lens on a rear indicator - the orange had faded.

I'll put up a pic of mine later if I remember. All I bought was the clear top half, and used the stock rover bottom half. It's already clear, with a reflector on there. They aren't as good looking as Steves above, but are cheap and look way better than the ugly red and orange standard ones particularly on my white car).
