Looking for UK Xenon headlights for freelander 2
Fed up with the stock lights popping higher power bulbs

Know what you mean but (touch wood) none have gone with me since the LR fix which is free😁 if you look through the posts there is a bulletin number to take to dealer.

Ps. Still light but lasts longer



UPDATE......... Found it.......LTB00841V2 bulletin number If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

At least the Ewok im replacing my FL2 with has got Xenon headlights, 100% agree that even after the LR mod under that bulletin the Halogen are still shocking

Hi Rog, they might not help you see anything but at least they seem to last longer not helping to see anything

The price on Xenons headlamps is disgusting and cannot believe that they were not fitted to the HSE models .would have preferred them to stored cd's or a bloody armrest  If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

yeh I could never understand why the HSE Lux was the only one to have them as standard, I would have thought HSE and above to be honest.

My HSE was eventually fitted with LR supplied unknown brand halogen bulbs which were shocking, and then the wiring mod was done which seemed to make them worse.

Cars ive had with Xenons have been vastly improved, the Jaguar XE being the best so far by a long shot. Ive yet to see what these Ewok ones are like as im normally fast asleep by the time its dark at the minute

Better ensure you back home then  If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

I don't see why there seems to be a reluctance to change to LED bulbs - they are a simple retrofit and MUCH cheaper than xenons. They are also perfect for projector headlights too, with no dazzle. Cheers,

I tried LED but the projection on them was awful, unless I needed to get better LED bulbs

The early ones were awful but there is a new generation of bulbs which places the light source exactly in the same position as the halogen filament, even with a brighter hot spot so they mimic the halogen characteristics.

Have a look at these ....

But these say they are H7 and HSE Halogens are HB3,oram I totally missing something here? If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

Razman has a prefacelift model which has H7 bulbs. The earlier headlights are not actually that bad as they have 2 seperate bulbs for dip and main beam and both illuminate when main beam is selected.

Actually my 2012 has H11 dips with H7 mains and is a pretty good combination - even better with LEDs though. I am pretty sure you can get HB3 or equivalents. Cheers,

Can't help with your wanted advert I'm afraid but just to say I bought, and sold, a pair of Signature Xenon headlights on ebay for £250 in the last year, so get an email alert set. They don't attract any more money than the halogen equivalents! But as I'm sure you know, you'll have to edit the CCF!

Still looking.
