Hey jdparkes,
I actually looked into it, but is definitely not worth the price for the OEM kit. I know these are DRL and require installation. I know there are likely aftermarket LED accent lights available as well, but so far I haven't read of anyone actually installing them on their LR4. Maybe you can get the dealership to throw in these LED lights as a bonus? ;-)
Keep us posted!

I agree completely! $700+ dollars (or more) is nuts for 2 LED bars that look like they are not even that noticeable. Personally, I wish they would use the brighter LED accent lights on the headlight rings - sort of like on the Audis or Range Rover Evoque. They look cool, but definitely could be brighter!

WOW! I just saw the picture and I must admit they look like $600 too much (and I am a sucker for buyimg useless crap). Anyone here actually had them insatlled and can post a "real" picture instead of the LR brochure pic? Now I am curious to see how they look.

I have never seen them in real life, but I don't think the are worth more than a $100 bucks. The guy at the dealership told me that no one has ever requested them and he thought they were pretty dull in person.
After looking over the pricing for most of LR's accessories, the price of these doesn't surprise me. Everything they sell is above market in price. Do they claim to have superior performance (doubtful)? Do they want to keep the brand prestige elevated through pricey accessories sales (maybe)? Maybe they just think people buying their cars are dumb enough to just throw down the extra cash for them and not really care. In a competitive market place, I just don't understand this rationale. I will soon be buying the extended roof rails and trailer hitch, but that will likely be the extent of my OEM accessories purchases.
They look like pretty generic LED light bars to me.
I have the slim line version of this on my VW:

For less than half the price, and super easy install as DRLs. Just wire them to a switched 12V and splice the trigger wire to the parking lights, and they'll turn on when the engine starts, and dim 50% when you turn on your lights.
