What are the lights on the lower edge of the top tailgate? How and when do they turn on? Nothing in the manual that I can see.05 Discovery 3 SE TDV6 Chawton White with roof rails, driving lights, steel side protection rails. Rego: DISCO3
When you lift the top there are two rectangular lights on the bottom edge.05 Discovery 3 SE TDV6 Chawton White with roof rails, driving lights, steel side protection rails. Rego: DISCO3

eh ?
Only lights I know of are the light clusters with brake, indicator, fog and reverse and the repeat brake light at top... do you mean when the tailgate is open ? As I have no lights here ?
Unless you mean the ones under the tail gate handle... these light up the reg plate.

Are you able to post a picture. In the meantime are they red or white lights. As the other guys said there are the top red lights being stop lights and the white lights are to illuminate the number plate.
Of course! They light the registration plate. Thanks!05 Discovery 3 SE TDV6 Chawton White with roof rails, driving lights, steel side protection rails. Rego: DISCO3

I thought this could have gone in the Tip & Tricks section but hey this is appropriate on this thread.
The rego plate lights also act as a rear lamp when the tailgate is open and lights on. It helps you see around the back when your loading the rear in the dark.
