I bought this kit for my FL2 to replace the H7 bulbs. My car had the projector type lenses which work well with aftermarket Xenons.

Why will you need to remove them for the MOT test? Do they not give the correct beam pattern? Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Legally in order to pass an MOT Xenon's need to be self levelling which these are not. |

Thought that would be the answer. I'm not interested in them but speaking as an mot tester, you definately will not need to remove them for the mot test providing they give the correct beam pattern and are not too 'blue'. Just to let the OP know, you do not need levellers to be fitted for the mot. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Well, thats news to me! I guess the crucial thing is that the self levelling must work if fitted but if it isn't there, then no problem.

Be interesting to know if they would fail it because there WAS a levelling adjustment there previously, albeit manually operated. Foraging near Gaydon....

Nope. Same as headlamp washers. Only counts if fitted at time of test. There is no option to fail the car for it not being fitted, just fitted and not working. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

It's easy I did it in mine using the new style halogen projectors just cut a hole in the back casing, you get a rubber grommet in the kit, h11 bulbs you need like the fogs When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car |

I would not even fit an aftermarket kit to a a freelander when it is easier to simply fit complete Xenon headlights and programme the car. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come......... |

There's a big difference in a set of the HID lamp units and a kit for 」40, not everyone can afford to buy the full lamps |

yes, these are quite easy to fi, just be careful not to crack any plastic parts in the lenses when handling, as they are brittle when cold. I warmed my back lens covers before drilling.
