I have been shopping to replace a cracked park light lens up front and also getting a new lens for the rear combo lights.

Here are some Perentie part details for quick reference. The 4x4 and 6x6 'lights' parts appear to be identical.

Headlight, Lucas RHD H4 flat glass, 178mm (7inch), Made In England on lower arc of the glass rim, Lucas H4 logo in the center.
RPS: Lucas LUB332, LR RTC4615. Rear rubber cover R156206.
Wipac headlights reference the same numbers but came out on Defenders after 1993 AFAIK.

Front Indicator Light, orange, genuine, LEP England marking on lens.
RPS: RTC5013 is the whole unit with some loom.
Genuine units are still available and there are other knock-off brands that use the same part number.
The lens alone is R589285 (no screws incl.) Genuine units are still available and there are other knock-off brands that use the same part number.

Side Indicator Light, orange, genuine.
RPS: PRC7044 is the whole unit with some loom. $17

Front Parking Light, clear, genuine, 'LEP England' marking on the lens.
RPS: RTC5012 is the whole unit with some loom.
Genuine units are still available and there are other knock-off brands that use the same part number.
The lens alone is R589284 and cost $14.30 at the dealership (no screws incl.) Genuine units are still available and there are other knock-off brands that use the same part number.

Rear Combination Light, genuine, is a Hella unit and it is still listed in the Hella Catalogue.
RPS: AYG9552 -its Hella part 2401 (the whole unit).
Both driver side and passenger side are the same unit, but the driver side unit is mounted opposite way up to the other (or upside down in other words). The two mounting bolts are out the back.
The Hella 3 section combination lens by itself is Hella part 9.2401.01 and is mounted by two screws.
The Hella (string-thin) rubber strip/seal is also available.

Narva has a knock off unit (very close design to the Hella 2401): Narva part number 86710 is for the whole unit - AutoPro shops price it at $30. The Narva combination lens by itself is part number 86715 - AutoPro shops price it at $17.
One thing I'm not sure about is if the two mount bolts out the back are the same distance apart as the Hella.
There's lots of Narva units around.
Caution: the cheaper Narva rear combination replacement lens does not quite fit the Hella. Both the Hella and the Narva units look the same  -they have the same width- but their lengths are 5mm different.

Maplight, a Hella unit.
RPS: AYG9759, black anodised, Hella part number 2633 is for the whole unit (195mm flexible stalk). I have seen them for $50 on special/half price. There's also Hella 2636 (same but has 500mm flexible stalk). Globe is YL125, miniature incandescent, 12v 5W with bayonet base. around $20

FFR overhead light, has twin red lens section and white lens section.
RPS: AYG9803

Still to come:
Blackout Lights, rear...
Blackout lights, front...

I switched to LED lights a long time ago. Incandescent bulbs burned out too often and quickly in any of my headlights. I was annoyed by the constant replacement and the need to buy them. Do you also think these bulbs are overpriced and too expensive for their dumb quality? These bulbs are a thing of the past. So I'm not at all surprised that you liked the LED bulbs after replacing them. I put LED fog lights on my headlights. On the side and corner lights, I put RGB bulbs as www.vont.com/product/vont-bulb-color-smart-light-bulbs-smart-bulbs/. A smart bulb is a cool option for controlling the shades of lighting in the car. You can try installing them, and then you'll see what I mean.
