Hi

If you want more light than halogen original bulb you need some expensive led bulbs with lot of leds

I put some LEDs into my D3. Unfortunately, pictures don't really do it justice, just how much brighter they are

They were not cheap, at £30 for a pair, but they make all the difference Thumbs Up
I even treated the wife's FL2 to a pair Thumbs Up

Advanced factors, site sponsor on here, do a range of LED upgrades

I got a set of LED for the reversing lights on my last FL2 which were a straight swap and made a huge difference to reversing at night Thumbs Up

I would get a couple P21W canbus compatible LEDs and give them a try. Loads on the net.

Hi Guys

Do you have any super bright LED reverse bulbs for a 2014 Freelander? I require the best ones for light output.

I emailed not long ago with the same question, there is a VERY short distance between the bulb holder and the lens. So the usual offerings/fitments hit the lens long before the holder is in position! 2013 FL2 - Black Edition Auto
