I love this part of their advert:

Yeah that and 5000k in stock (I think they mean 5K or 5000). Still the bulbs are great and a lot cheaper than some!

England 2014 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Manual Barolo Black

I followed the thread and check the manual which says my reversing lights are P21W so I bought some expensive LED ones.
When I removed my light unit to fit the bulbs I found that there are five bulbs - not four as per the manual.
One connector at the top for the LED cluster, three in the middle, and one at the bottom. (I have pulled out the centre connector for the reversing light in the photo below).



The bulb that provides a glimmer for reversing isn't a P21W.



Hmmm. Has anybody swapped these ones out for LEDs? Potted LR history since 1990:

People must do a lot of reversing to justify these mods. I personally tend to drive forwards most of the time. Shocked 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

its nice at night though when some chav in his blinged up corsa with super bright misaligned headlights stops behind you and you put your FL2 in reverse to give him a scare and blind him back Shocked

England 2014 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Manual Barolo Black

Ha ha. I do more reversing now-a-days. I worked at a firm where. 'reverse parking' was mandatory. This was something that came from the States where women had been attacked in car parks. Whilst I hate the nanny state it did seem to make sense so I started doing that and encouraged my wife and daughters to do the same. So now I always reverse up my driveway and the standard reversing lights aren't quite up to it. I'm actually surprised that on a £30k car you get a mixture of LEDs and conventional bulbs. Potted LR history since 1990:

I have limo tints on mine and find that the rear lights are still pretty decent. Yes it would be nice if they were really bright but I cannot fault the filament bulb to be honest. MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

I find that the reversing lights on this car aren't bad. But if I really need to see behind I flip the rear fogs on. A bit red, but plenty powerful! Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.
