I'll give you a tip, They never stop.

should have kept your Hilux :o

When I had my Landcruiser I just drove it & rememberd back to my Landrover days & thought what a sap I was, constantly spending money on this, that and the other thing.

Now I'm back in a Landrover ....and Loving it .

but as they say, history repeats itself. I'm now constantly spending money on this, that and the other thing. I wrote down a list of mods on it & If I was looking at the list in referance to somone elses Landy I'd be in awe, but when its on mine I'm wondering when will it stop.
.... Probably when I dont have a mailing adress ;)

.

Bought the 100% + Extreme halogens


Thanks for everyone's advise. :)

According to the ‘boy racers’ HID in your normal headlights stands for “Hi I’m a D/H” due to the fact that a lot of people install them and do not adjust them correctly. Blinding (for want of a better word) the oncoming traffic.
I opted for 55watt upgrade to my 240 blitz spotties. Brilliant

Sorta. As far as I know, the rules are that the headlight needs to have the ability to adjust height either automatically or from inside the cabin. They ALSO require dedicated headlight washers. I know that because I've had to fail people before because their headlight washers didn't work.

I've got 35w HIDs in my Volvo and the light in the 1st 100m is great. After that, it starts to fade out. But keep in mind that is with the standard lense. It does blind people and I plan to modify the reflector and lense to accomodate projectors.

Back on topic, I havn't had issues with my HIDs I have had them for a good 3 years now. They only thing it does is the flapper (H4) sticks and that's only because the car doesn't get driven very often. Just look at buyer/seller feedback and buy from the one with the least amount of negative feedback and is local so you can visit them.

You can buy Zenon globes that are a factory option for the defender for $66 a pair,I've got them and they are twice the globe Halogens are,once a Traxide upgrade,$130 is added the lights are everything you need,and you'll never burn out your light switch either. Pat

Xenon globes are not an option for the Defender - the whole Xenon lighting system is a factory option so just buying genuine Xenon globes to put in your halogen will not work. If you fit the full Landrover system in your car then you will be legal but it will be an expensive exercise.

Also you need to make sure these super halogen globes are ADR compliant as many to not meet requirements. Some of the bluer Philip globes are not ADR compliant.

I bought them straight from the dealer in Perth,the light is white,not yellow and is a good improvement.My Tdi has a Traxide upgrade,the TDCi has just the globes,the TDCi is every bit as good and should be better once the wiring upgrade is also done.My TDCi has high crystal lenses,the Tdi has standard H4's.I'll chase down the part number for you.

The upgrade wiring kits can be found here Traxide, you'll be dealing with a forum member and they are quality kits.

Blooming bloody hell, H4 & HB4 are different globes, I just followed the link supplied in one of the reply posts here and it was for HB4, I figured it was the same as H4.

Bugger now I have to send them back :( Not Happy Jan!

my MY11 puma owners handbook lists the globe as a H7 type,
i am confused now too... i think i need to have a look at what globe is currently installed before ordering the brighter ones..
