I I fitted the bumper mounted driving lamps, the fogs, if you already have them, stay where they are.
As for wiring .... I wired my driving lamps to the main beam feed.

I do have a spare, second user set in my workshop,no wiring.

Hi thanks I do have fogs fitted so are these basically a better high beam as this is where it's poor on high beam unit but I see the kit comes with a loom and plugs so wondering if these just plug into car loom somewhere ?
Thanks
Ps , I wired spots up loads on other motors but do these make good high beam units ?

I've got a set of these , bought new, but have been down the shed for a few years. Yes, there's lots of wiring with them and the instructions are really comprehensive.
Never fitted them as somehow lost the cutting template and 1 cover for when they're not used - not that I've ever seen any with the covers on anyway.

Hammer, these appear to be a tad less money.

I wonder if they fit the facelift models with the square fog light bezels, I'd say probably not? Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

I fitted a set a couple of weeks ago, they come on with the full beam. I fitted them using the genuine Land Rover wiring, you do have to add the wiring into the car, but it’s not too difficult. Have a look for Britcar account on eBay, I managed to pick up a new boxed pair for £40. The only part I am a bit dubious about is the grey covers, they don’t seem to clip into the mounts very well, they are not going to fall off, but I wouldn’t want to put them through an automated car wash incase they came off. I’ve looked at a friends facelift bumper and it could be possible to fit these, but cannot guarantee that it would fully cover the fog light aperture without offering one up, and also you have to cut the bumper and I don’t know if the tags are there for the template to line up with.

Trust me when I say they won't fit the facelift bumper.

And here’s the fitting instructions if anybody wants to see how involved they are to fit. Most nerve racking part was drilling a hole in the dash for the switch.

And again for those that want to see what they are like, I stopped this morning and took this, this is full beam and spot lights on. Plenty bright enough for me.
