Change the lamps for these 100%+ things, that makes a difference, fortunately I went for Xenons, boy, are they good.

CG does your RRS have those, they are a huge benefit?

had them on an Audi, not fussed now as with a little child we dont go out anymore (if we do we walk/off road drive to the local foody pub, philips upgrade bulbs improved the fl2 considerably.

rrs has projectors as above, not tried them yet At work

hi gilfishman

just checked mine as they look very similar to the ones on my GS but i did order Xenons.

The best way to check is to look opn the white label just above the offside lense - you need to lift the monnet to see this. Mine has the words HID Uk and Bi/Xenon on it.

I would guess that if yours are halogen then it will say 'halogen' on it or H4 or smething similar.

Another way to tell is that there is no manual headlight leveling on the Xenons its all automatic.

Good Luck

DR There's always a way forward!

2011 Freelander Td4 GS 150 - Rimini Red - in its place - Better x far x 4!!

i dont think you will have a problem with them plenty bright enough and very good in fog and snow taz have you priced the bulbs up yet if your xenons are simler to the commercials apart from voltage there about 80 sqids per bulb  rainy-city

I didn't find the projectors too bad but on saying that if I could improve it then so be it. I bought some 'Osram Nightbreakers Plus' lamps and the difference was noticeable.
I only replaced the 'dipped' lamps as it's not that often I get to switch on full beam.

been out in total darkness,they will do fine for me,the only thing i can see different is the beam gives a longer beam,but dont light the road close to the front end as my 59 reg,if u alter the height,you can over come this.So they will stay as they are  Current: Freelander 2 GS, Orkney Grey, Factory fit privacy glass, design pack and Clearview pack.

It was done to ensure all the cars looked the same. I have the AFL Xenons on mine which are excellent. It also helped when doing the facelift conversion as it looks complete now! Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather.
