2013 Halogen projector headlight upgrade?

Hi all,
Has anyone fitted a set of 2013 headlights to their free2 ( mine is a 08 )? I'm loving the look of Slaneydore's upgrade and was wondering how new the upgrade lights could be... 2008 TD4 ripe for mods

Thanks Taz, that has just scared me... I'm no good with a multimeter, so I'm probably going to have to stick to a set of 09 10 11's instead... 2008 TD4 ripe for mods

My 2008 had ordinary headlamps and my MY13 has projector lamps , they are USELESS, to be honest I don't even know how these projector lamps can pass any testing ! The day running LEDs give off more light !
I can feel a pair of white headlamp bulbs being required just so I can see where I am going in the dark !

Grin... I'm just sensitive to the light given off from the headlights as my current ( and soon to be ex ) car has such poor ones... I love the look of the newer styles, but I'm only going to fit them if there's an improvement in the light thrown. 2008 TD4 ripe for mods

@OG, your not the first to say that, a few in the early days when the first Projector Lights were fitted, members posted that they were poor compared to the original style, it could be worse, going to Projector Headlamps after having Xenons as one member did in the early days. So the latest Projectors are no improvement. Crying or Very sad p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

Hi

Just posted my experiences of fitting MY2013 halogen projectors to my MY2011 Freelander 2 here:

Having fitted Osraam Night Breakers, I can genuinely say that I can see no difference between my original lights and these. I would love to fit HIDs but the automatic levelling makes it a very difficult challenge.

An amazing job on the conversion, but looks like a set of Osram's for me... 2008 TD4 ripe for mods
