Attack by bees?

That would be far preferable  Regards

Off topic but since we are referencing bees......my FL2's colour is Tambora Flame. Bees like it......I had two fly in, at different times, through the open windows last summer and one started pollinating until I pulled into a lot and ejected said bee politely. What's up with that........ ?

Here's another couple of pics taken on an unlit track in Snowdonia. I do think both dipped and main beam are significantly improved with these LED bulbs compared to the OEM halogen HB3s (though I never fitted Osram Nightbreakers, so can't comment on performance against those).

Here is a comparison with my old halogens and new LEDs

I think I’d be happy with the original Halogens there.......was the camera setting exactly the same ie manual exposure, same settings? Regards

I used my phone to take the pics - they seem pretty representative Jules

Well as you say if they are representative between the bulbs I’d stay with the Halogen bulbs,far better distance on main and seemingly more defined cut off on dip. Regards

The HIDs are better

^^^^^Yes, they are! My model year apparently came with HIDs, the stock colour was ok but I replaced them with I think 6000ks and they are very good and I am rural.

I’m pondering the HIDS

Bob, have you had any issues with the stealth kit?

Nope it's the best mod ive done to this car. Halogen headlights were pathetic, wish I'd done it 2 years ago when I bought it.
I think Stealth should be paying me for my endorsements! Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

They look a completely different beam pattern and spread to Matts are they the same LED's? If so have you set them right, maybe Matt can come back in and offer some ideas? 2014 Freelander 2 XS TD4

Yes same LEDs as the ones Matt has. Set in the 10 & 2 position.
I'll take some pics with my camera to see if the phone camera is not being fazed by the more intense white light.

I temporarily swapped the halogens back in today just to whilst rechecking the LED positions. The shutters do make a noticeable clunk even with the OEM HB3 bulbs too. I guess I never noticed it with the engine running. Jules
