Thread: Headlight bulb question

I don't know if your model has the square headlights or projector (like D3s etc) , as it's a 2003. (This was the changeover year, wasn't it, from D2 to D2a? ).

Square headlights (D2) = H4 bulb. Pocketed (D2a) = H7. Get at least a +50% from Repco, Autobarn etc, but a brand name, such as Narva, Phillips.

Lots of discussions on this forum about advantages of +50% to +120% bulbs. No more current draw than standard, may have a shorter life, but lots more light.

H4 or H7? Going from memory only(which could be faulty) I think my D2a takes H7 for the updated lights

They are std parts; not specific to LR.

Just FYI

Disco 2A has "pocketed" headlights...

Disco 3 /4 have "Projector"

Projector are the domed optic...

I have a mixed bag in mine, Narva blue power in main beam, Phillips in the high beam. Blue LED in parkers, standard indicators standard bumper lights and el chepo Narva driving lights.

Ps: my Disco being a D2a, uses H7 in main beam and high beam lights
