Front Light guards for 2011 LE X-Tech 110

[Dirtpod]

Hi all, just wondering if anyone knows the Land Rover Part Number for a set of front light guards (grill type) that would fit over the black 2011 LE X-Tech headlight surrounds. I was hoping to buy a set of guards outside of LR as they have quoted me $366.00 for just the two front guards !! - is that cost right, are they being serious ?:bat:

The normal grill type guards (uk ebay) appear to be too shallow to bolt onto the chassis and then go over the black LE X-Tech light area.

Thanks for taking the time to read and reply.

Cheers,
Dave

Cheers Pat :) . . . have you made any other mods to your LE 110 ?

Got lots of idea's but ATM it's like Mt Thomas from Blue Healers up here,lots of stabbings,bashings,assaults,friday night/sat morning a vehicle roll over with three serious patients and moto x championship with busted riders so we are keeping the RFDS busy and I've had bugger all sleep.The biggest problem is there is no metal fab shop here as I want to make up a roll hoop in the rear with a cargo net like aircraft have,I've got a 50ltr under sill fuel tank made but I haven't got the new filler pipe yet,I'm going to branch off it for transfering the fuel,I'm going to get the chequer plate for the gap between the rear doors and wheel arch,thats were the fillers going and remove the muffler and cut the floor out above it for an under floor tool box,safari roof with runners,marine carpet the rear cargo space,roof console,warn high mount,dual batteries,rear work light etc etc etc.I'll get there.

Unfortunately the downside of buying limited edition cars like SVX and X-Tech is the fact that a lot of aftermarket kit doesn't fit them. You are right in that the "normal" Defender grills will be too shallow...

LRA's premium price looks like only option unless you go custom.

I'm chasing drivesafe up to get wiring kits made for them too. Pat

I got these from RovaCraft and modified the mount it only needed the removal of one mount point, easy job.

Allan,

Those are very tidy looking light guards. Might have a look myself when I'm in Perth next!

[PAT303]

I like them. Pat

While you guys are here,how did you wire up your driving lights?,I have a roof rail with four wipac lights and I took the signal wire off the back of the plug in the switch but now I'm wondering how long the switch will last. Pat

[Loubrey]

Sorry Pat, Opposite Lock Wangara did mine. I think they just came off the high beam wire and fitted a new switch in the cab.

I've been looking at options for roofrack mounted floodlight setup as well.

[Allan]

I took the power for the relays from under the driver’s seat box; I also mounted them in the box. The live side of, from memory the rear heated window fuse link, may be wrong. I have 3 relays 1 for the lights on the front bar and 2 for the four lights on the roof rack all switched independently. I went into the high beam light at the grill for the other power point.

This is my bombs setup, the roof lights are very handy.

Did you put a relay in between the switch and the lights? If not I suspect your switch will not last too long.

[PAT303]

Yep,there's a relay,I got the roof rail,lights and wiring kit from the UK for half the cost buying them here but the headlights still run through the switch which burns out without the extra signal wire added. Pat
