D4 Headlight bulbs (bi xenon) replacement? + spotlights

[gotaflat]

hello,

I know this have been covered - sorry for the re-hash however have a few specifics to add
have (still) 2011 D4 HSE SDV6 with bi Xenon headlights. I don't drive to much - wife does however...occasionally I do ..
Currently fitting a Land Rover full front protection bar to it. In driving recently noticed the lights may not be as good as they were when new ... its older now yes I get it, they may be tired. Compare this to the 2016 Ranger Wildtrak i have - the DIsco lights are very good. (In fact I am not sure how the light on the Ranger are ADR compliant - shocking...but I have a good set of spotties on the bull bar so that's why i am asking about the D4 lights)



Any way - is it worth replacing the bulbs?
Bi xenon - is that just a PIA to do/cost?
After market ones... or factory - where from?
Note the Traxide wiring loom upgrade.. does that apply to the bi xenons? I see it noted H4 plugs - pretty sure the bi xenons are different?
Note Traxide also have a wiring loom for the spotties (LED) I am intending on putting on the D4 bar once installed.


Appreciate any thoughts/experience on the headlight (bulb) replacements. And or spotlight installs - particularly the spotlight switch placement.

FWIW - the D$ will stay in the family for as long it remains .... road worthy.. [bighmmm]

No need to upgrade loom.

Only use genuine / original figment brand IMO - too many problems with cheaper replacements.

Replace both - or the colour will be different between sides.

Look at a Stedi, Copperhead H7 upgrade for the inner beam light also.

Could be that the lenses themselves are a bit less than brand new? Can make a bit difference to light transmission. I've not tried any but there's headlight restoration products out there.

Leave the Bi xenon in, PITA and $$$$ to replace.
Chuck the old H7 halogens that are sitting next to the bixenons and fit the copperheads as Tombie says. Huge difference.

thanks for the replies,

Tombi/Eric - assume the Disco has standard H7 fittings? note Stedi have h7 and H7-1 and 3,5,6 ?

thanks

Standard H7.
