    2014+ Facelift Xenon headlights/grill enroute

    Hi Guys

    I have found/purchased the 2014+ headlights to fit to my 2011 D4 - they are xenon while I currently have halogen so I'm going to need this switched via the CCF

    Does anyone know who/where and how much that will cost in Sydney?

    I know I can wire the DRL's to work and there is a small chance they may work out of the box, but is there anything which needs to be activated via the CCF?

    thanks, Luke

    ps - on a side note, this means I will have a 2011 Black grill and headlights up for sale soon for those in need or with D3's looking for a refresh.

    I've done this type of facelift before with my old Freelander 2 so feeling confident but there are two parts which I'm yet to work out for myself.

    1) Where to get the CCF changed (noting I may need it changed back and forth a couple of times while I work on point 2
    2) How to make them Dim on indication/headlights come on. (The FL2 signature lights weren't as bright and didn't need to be dimmed).

    Reading up on point 2 now (disco3.co.uk)

    Got the lights and grill from UK eBay Guthrie.

    Luke are you getting a new bumper... or just a new grill to make these fit?

    There is a small gap (about 15mm) under the headlamps if you use 2013> lights with a pre-2013 bumper. From what I've seen on Disco3, folks tend to live with it.

    Hey Guthrie

    I plan on seeing how it is first, I'm a bit fussy about the cosmetic side of things so unless it's very minimal I'll be sourcing a new bumper.

    Biggest concern at first will be getting the lights to operate properly then worry about the rest.

    Item is still stuck in the uk, sender left the customs slip off which is slowing things down.

    Hi Luke
    I recently bought a 2013 D4 (pre-facelift) & I'll be following this thread very closely. I want to swap the headlights with facelift ones with DRLs.
    By the way I'm in Central Coast area & would appreciate if you can share contacts of people who can help with this mod after you have completed.

    Thanks,
    Tapi

    quick update:

    the lights arrived today, with absolutely no modifications the following:

    1) Signature strip works on side light setting, main beam and auto. turns off with all lights off.
    2) Indicators work perfectly
    3) as expected - head lights (xenon) come on then turn off - need CCF altered from halogen to xenon.

    Guthrie - the gap between the lights and bumper is actually very minimal, you literally have to look for it so I can't see myself changing the bumper as no-one will notice.

    I will post before and after pics once it's done, just need to find a shop to do it for me first..
