Different bulbs, 2 in the pre 2013 version and only 1 in the post 2013, different bulb holders. Anything is possible if you're determined enough but lots of hassle. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

How to improve yours - not really sure as you already have a HID for dip beam. Maybe a brighter halogen for the H7. I assume your HID has a projector lens and the H7 has a reflector lens. You shouldnt use a HID in a reflector lens - pretty sure that would an obvious MOT fail to tester.

Thanks for your reply Jules. Yes mine has the HID in a proper projector lens and the H7 in a reflector lens.

I've been pondering the options. Decided to buy a whole replacement headlight unit for the drivers side as the internal frame was broken and the lamp assembly rattling around which isn't good. Attempting to open the unit up was futile and suggestions of putting it in the oven to soften the adhesives wasn't really where I wanted to go! For £125 I got a very good condition HID unit complete with lamps and chopped off connector from the donor loom. Delivered next day by UPS too

Driving tests in now much darker weather has accustomed me better to the change in the type of lighting offered. It could be that I was just spoilt with the Tuscon's strikingly powerful LED lighting design and now I'm back in the real world! My eyeballs need all the help they can get I suppose, might consider a few roofbar lights too for those dodgy backroads of Sussex.
