There used to be a group buy thread until someone on eBay started selling them at a much lower rate.

I can confirm they fit however you will get the odd strobing effect when the car does a light check.

I fitted higher watt halogens to my TD6, but over time, they started to melt the plastic lens from the inside, so had to go back to standard.

I looked at the available options for my reversing lights and in the end went down the root of a pair of slimline led spotlights, hard wired, to the wring loom on the reversing lights. Then ran the cable along the interior body work in the wheel well, out through the rubber grommet there and positioned the spotlights in the bottom of the rear bumper. So when I select reverse it throws a great deal if light into the ground and not into anyone behind me Borrowed Grey 2002 3d 204k for a year

I swapped mine out, no problem, and much brighter. I should add back in the days I had an L322. Geoff |

Well, I fitted LED reverse lights to both of our L322's and yes, the lights are very much brighter. Are they better reverse lights? Not much to be honest, they're still cra*p. Drives:

Trouble is the reverse lights are in the wrong place too make a difference. When you reverse you look in the wing mirrors and considering the reverse lights are no where near them well it's not surprising they don't make much of a difference I guess |

I would second that...... I usually reverse onto my drive, between two black metal gateposts. At night there's an element of guesswork, unfortunate as the gap if I dont fold the mirrors is about 1/2" on each side. For the time being I've started putting the rear fogs on, going to order a couple of reflectors for the posts. If that doesn't help then when I get round to putting a tow-bar on I might use the armature to mount a couple of additional LED lamps. I don't remember the reverse lights on my first L322 being this bad. 2010 Range Rover Autobiography TDV8 Santorini Black 2010 Range Rover Autobiography TDV8 Zermatt Silver [Gone] 2003 Range Rover HSE Oslo Blue [Gone] 1985 Camel Trophy 90 (Netherlands Team Vehicle) [Gone] 1990 Camel Trophy 127 (Workshop Vehicle) [Gone] 1989 Camel Trophy 110 (Workshop Vehicle) [Gone] 1998 Camel Trophy Freelander (South African Team Vehicle) 1995 Camel Trophy Discovery 300Tdi (Raft Unit) [Gone] |
