| Although, with the ebay stuff posted above, I'd recommend using some sort of sealant or adhesive. I fitted them and they seemed a good, tight fit initially, but recently lost the front driver's side a ... |

| Sounds entirely plausible. Xenon HID lamps aren't listed as a cost option in the FL2 sales brochure except as part of the 'Dynamic Lux' pack, so presumably if you ordered a Dynamic but wanted all the ... |

p.s. I don't know what on earth Harwoods Basingstoke are doing - they should be quoting on the JLR fixed price plan for FL2s but their prices seem to be completely random.

| Jules, maybe the focal point of the LEDs differs to the halogen HB3s - if so, headlights may need adjusting to compensate? In your pics, it looks like the point where the beam hits the road (ie the br ... |

| Not sure about that - at least the terrain response buttons were moved to a more sensible position in front of the gear lever, rather than behind it, which is where the rotating dial is?! |

| Glad you're seeing good results too guys. Yep, I fitted mine with both LED chips pointing up at 10 and 2. Handily this means the cable from the back of the bulb is pointing straight down, which makes ... |
