I am not sure about your D4 but my RRS has head light washers and I thought all the D3/D4/RRS range did.

I thought you already had one. You might want to leave a couple of days to read and digest the handbook - oh and it is a generic world wide handbook so some things in it may not apply to your vehicle.

Check the for sale section on Disco3.co.uk as well.

Just be very careful of what you're looking at on eBay UK, I've seen a couple of lots where they were selling a pair of headlights with the part number only, and they turned out to be LHD.

I understand HID low beam can have issues with the cutoff, but what is the issue with just changing the H7 high beam to HID?

I have separate bulbs for high and low so it would be a relatively easy swap just to do the high beam. MY13 model too.

I understood that there's a lever inside the assemblies to switch from LHD to RHD but perhaps this feature only is only on some as I don't recall seeing it on mine.

I understood the same thing Graeme, and very nearly hit the button on buying a set that were going very very cheap. I did a bit of research, and found that they did not have the ability to switch over (it was someone asking the question on a European forum).

It seemed the UK spec headlights have the ability to switch from RHD to LHD, but only some LHD headlights have the reverse.

The cutoff for low beam is the same as for Halogen and HID,

I also put them in my Hi beam but the issue is that HIDs take from 5 to 10 secs to light up to full brilliance so when you need Hi beam urgently you will not get it. Not such an issue when you turn on your low beams and leave them on.

HIDs are far better than Halogens in the hi beam light but I have gone back to halogens as I want these lights to come on when I want them.
