Ahh thank you very much for that! I don't wanna fit massive fyrlyts just some smallish led lights.

You can make up a bracket to sit on top of the LR mounts, something like they did on the millionth discovery:

DISCO4.COM - View topic - Auxiliary lights for D4

The principle is the same for both 3 and 4.

has anyone actually bought these lights as a kit from LR. Are they any good? how much?
can you just buy the mounting kit and get your own lights?

I didn't like the look of the mounting kits too much, was going to fabricate a mounting bracket that was sturdy to bolt in the same spots as the LR brackets, but with triangle bracing etc. However I ended up getting an excellent price on an OL bar so will not be pursuing this angle.

The LR part for a D3 is VUU500110. I can upload the fitting instructions if you want to have a look?

Thanks Will but mine is a D4 and I had a look at the Topix instructions.


How much is an excellent price. Since mine is a 2010 maybe they want to get rid of some more

It was about 75% of retail, but a one off for a bar that had been sitting there for a year and basically forgotten about.

SO what I need to do is go into an OL shop and stack boxes in front of a suitable bar then go back in 6 months and say hey....whats this


BTW I got a quote for LR driving lights. They are $1100 and the mounts $300.

For that price you would come close to an OL bar. Or you could use the mounts and buy a set of Fyrlyt Driving Lights and waaay outshine any genuine lights by miles
