2010 HSE - add the LED "halo" lighting?

backcountryLR4 · Jan 25, 2018

Have the 2014-16 LEDs already on my MY15 already and love the way the look in DRL mode. Keeps the truck modern enough and and close enough to the Rang Rover series to look related.

Problem is... US spec forces the amber corner in the headlight. Seeing all the UK and European spec'd headlights with the clear corner look sooooo much better. It looks especially better on the white disco/lr4 with black package.

Anyone else hate the amber corners on the headlights?

I just ordered a "halogen with LED" headlight used on ebay. I'm going to plug it in and see what happens. I'll report back.

I don't have one of the programming tools you guys all reference and my closest dealer is 2 hours away so I'm really hoping this will work with no programming. If it doesn't I may just splice the wiring harness for the DRLs and power the LEDs that way versus taking it to a dealer.

Well, good news. The headlight swap works. The LEDs appear to be wired to the same pins on the plug as the plain running light bulb is on my headlight, so swapping to the "with LEDs" headlight just means that you get the LEDs lit up in place of the running lights, which is exactly what I wanted.

I just bought the one to test, now I've got to go find the other side. Then, I'll sell my old headlights on eBay. It seems like the prices are about the same for the "with" or "without" headlights, so once all is said and done I should just about break even.

Hi, how did the upgrade end up going? Do you have pictures of the final product? Last question... are the LED's running alone or are your low beams too, in DRL mode?
