Hey Lads,
They are awesome.
Great beam pattern and light spread, far better than the original (well Clear Lens) SVX Headlamps.
Plug directly into the H4 connector and are perfectly legal as a direct replacement (E and DOT Marked).
Expensive option, but I think they're worth it.

Here is the spec sheet for the JWspeaker LEDs

Look interesting, but (effective) output is only 650 lumens (low) and 760 (high) which seems quite low???

They certainly appear brighter than the Free Form halogens from the factory....
That could be down to Colour Temperature......

You mean like I have had in my discovery for the last 4 yearsWashers are a more important issue than leveling as dirty lens can cause the light to scatter significantly and be quite dazzling. The situation is compounded if the globes are simply replaced with HID inserts as these apparently have different light emission points for which the reflectors and the lens are not designed. I think the washers have to be high pressure.
CheersThe simplest way to get significant light improvement is to install a Traxide wiring loom (or equivalent) and/or replace the standard globes with something like Phillips X-treme Power or Osram Night Breaker globes which put out about 80% more light.

Well I don't know what you have in your Discovery Dullbird but if you have changed the light globes as I did, I am sure you found them a great improvement, as I did. I haven't upgraded the loom yet but that will follow when the warranty period passes. That is not to say the lights are as good as HIDs. They are not. But they are much better than the standard fitment, much cheaper than HIDs in the short term at least, and there is no question as to their legality.You mean like I have had in my discovery for the last 4 years
Another consideration in this lighting issue is that better high beam lighting can be achieved by installing 'driving' or 'spot' lights. These are required to be wired into the high beam circuit (ie turn on the high beam and you have the option for the spotties to come on as well). The issue seems to me to be one of improving the lighting on low or dipped beam. Improvement to the low beam will not be achieved by use of the dual HID high beam - halogen low beam, approach, unless the halogen uses the same technology as the X-treme Power and Night Breaker globes.
