| New (to me) Landmark 2011-retrofit xenon? |
|
Hi All
I've just picked up a Landmark 2011, great condition and history...pics to follow
It has headlight washers and fog lights, daylight leds but halogens
Anyone can talk me through swaping them for xenons oem? Is it a difficult job?

Probably 60 seconds a side.
Open bonnet, there is a black metal semi circular tab to the right of the left headlamp, it's a slide, pull up and lift out the headlamp so that you can see the electrical connection, disconnect this and the headlamp is free. Merely replace and reverse the procedure. Same with the other side, it's that easy.
Next go to your local autologic or Faultmate independent LR garage. They will hook up their box of tricks and 30 seconds later the headLights are enabelled.
Cost for Xenons about £500. Cost for enabelling about £25. It's like most things, shop around.

That is perfect, thanks
Do anyone recommed where to buy the oem ones?
Do I need the ballast or just the lights? What would I need to tell the garage in order to enable it?
Thanks

Tatbay or or here. I sold a set a couple of months ago.
The lights come with the ballasts.
Tell the garage you have upgraded the headlight from halogen to Xenon - simples.

And on ebay, what would I have to look for?
The ds3 is the mode I need? How do I choose one which is OEM and plug n play as advised?
Any particular site that sells OEM?
I just want to make sure I dont get one of the chinese ones that have the ballast separate and that needs to install it against the +- on the battery
