Philips Vision HB3s are less than a tenner each on Amazon. Always replace in pairs, because if one goes the other wont be far behind Laughing

In the end I just replaced them annually as a service item when the clocks went back. Seemed to work ok for me. 2019 Discovery Sport Landmark in Corris Grey

I have learnt the hard way about poor headlamps, now I wouldn’t buy a car without HiDs (and make sure they have headlamp washers, low power HiDs don’t need them!), or LED headlamps of course (although I would need to try these at night before purchase), I put a lot of weight behind being able to see well at night while driving.


You could always buy Xenons headlamps and retrofit them MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

I’ve got HiD AFS headlamps, I would not have bought the car without Thumbs Up

I was surprised that the Freelander HiD headlamps are better than our previous FFRR HiD headlamps! Shocked Regards

LR NUT, do you ever get bored with writing the same thing over and over, again and again. On every thread that comes up on this subject?
Yes we could buy new Xenon headlamps but they're £866 EACH SIDE! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-Free...SwDaJcvzHv
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-Free...SwO-ZcvzAa

That's an awful lot of HB3 bulbs. And some of us rarely drive in the dark so we don't need search light strength. MY13 Santorini Black SD4 HSE

I did post the other day there was a chap on FB in Essex selling one AFS headlamp looking new for (if I recall) £60 Shocked

Worth snapping up if your close. Regards

I’ve had my late 2014 TD4 for 2 1/2 years and never blown any bulbs, am I just lucky or is it likely to have had the mod? 64 plate TD4 SE Santorini Black

Probably

I'm on my second set in 5 and half years so far on a MY14. Judging by experiences of many on here, I should have got through 10 X that in 5 and half years

Are they reflector or did all late models have projector lamps?

If projectors maybe you have HiDs which should not blow as normal bulbs would. Regards

The lamps have either "Halogen" or "HiD" on a label on the back of the shell. So I think we all know what type they are and what we're talking about. MY13 Santorini Black SD4 HSE

Well as I cannot see “Bluebird1999”s headlamps I thought the question was legitimate. Regards
