have to say that looks totally wrong, you have fitted HID bulbs to halogen lenses, guaranteed that will blind other road users its your car its up to you but i would remove them sooner than later Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated 1995 P38 now dead 2012 FL2 GS Fuji White winter pack arm rest pack |

Tried with a friend on a small road in pitch black? Was your friend standing aside of the road or was he in his car driving towards you at max allowed speed with your two cars "meeting" in a turn?

It will blind other driver, fact. The shine path when used on halogen lenses is not directed in the correct way. This is why all Xenon headlight have projector lenses.

Just joined the forum. Having recently purchased a 2013 FL2 HSE I wondered if anybody knows what the cost of xenon units would be from Land Rover. Thanks in advance for your reply. Cheers |

Can I just say, as an MOT tester, you most definitely don't have to have self levelling units fitted. The requirements are that IF the car had self levelling headlamps, the self levelling units have to be working. If they are not fitted, they cannot be tested so they cannot be failed.

Do a search about fitting hid lights. Ignoring the legal aspects, the ecu controlling the light can sense the difference between a halogen bulb and an hid setup, and they are factory programmed for each. If it senses hid when it's programmed for halogen , then it can flicker the lights due to the ecu trying out different voltages/currents.
