It was a deal-breaker Taz....I didn't want the car without them, so they offered to put them in as part of the final figure. My last 3 cars have had them, so could never go back to halogen now. That said, the high beam is still a Halogen lamp, which works a treat in conjunction with the HID in terms of lighting up dark lanes. Foraging near Gaydon....

I find my high beam is excellent from the HID point of view, however, the halogen bit seems to light up the tress ahead about 20ft up in the air, way too high?

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1986/1078/contents/made There is nothing that I can see in the Construction and Use legislation that relates to the lighting system of the vehicle? The only section that could apply would be Regulation 100 "Maintenance and use of vehicle so as not to be a danger, etc" which states:
Given that people are mostly using genuine Land Rover parts which have been Type Approved on the Freelander model, and are not using High Intensity lighting in headlight units that cannot focus the discharge (such as the modified Corsa brigade!) I cannot see that there will be any issues with this modification! Interesting to hear the view of an MOT tester on the auto levelling situation, this had always put me off looking for a set of Xenon headlights but given your reading of the MOT guidence notes it looks like this should not be an issue? Now where is my eBay login...... |

Does anyone have or know where I can go on here to get a set of RHD Xenon head light units so I can retro fit my FL2? |
