hold the bulb base in both hands with the bulb pointed up. Put a thumb on each side of the gap in the locking ring and push it away from the bulb. Its held in with a series of spring clips. |

You will need to replace the old bulb with another D3S fitment bulb. I know that Osram do not do Nightbreakers in D3S. No other bulb will fit or work with the OEM Xenon ballast (controller). The replacement you need is Osram 66340, which is the standard OEM Land Rover D3S bulb. It will be the only one which will perfectly match the bulb in your other headlight. If you are going to replace both bulbs I personally would go for Philips Xtreme Vision D3S, which I have in my car, but at around £180 for the pair they are expensive. They are far superior to the standard Osrams in terms of appearance (pure white light) and more importantly the output on the road. I was also puzzled as to how to remove the bulb from the bulb clip, but if you do it as Colin describes, then you will ha e no bother. It's easy after you've done it once.

Just ordered a pair of Philips Xtreme vision bulbs from Powerbulbs, they have a discount running currently and £135 for the pair. Mine are showing weird colours and driving me mad, will try and get some before/after pictures if I can. |

I put a pair of XTec H7 Super White Xenon HID Class Bulbs 4200k e-mark in my FL2 a couple of years for the princely sum of £8.49 off fleabay. These are much whiter than the standard ones in the FL2 and I think make a vast improvement.
