The Restoration Advantage: Unlike generic universal lamps, the RD7066 is sized specifically for the original Bentley rear light plinth.

Tech Tip:
When installing the RD7066, ensure the mounting gasket (seating rubber) is soft and pliable to prevent water from entering the boot lid or damaging the rear wing's paintwork.
