Didn't take any pictures of the units being fitted but I recall they fit with no issues at all. The ballasts / drivers fit into the headlight unit along with all cables neatly, although if you wish you could mount them externally but might not look so neat. The harness has additional plugs and wire which you won't need and will save some space. Cut those off once you have the rest connected and working. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Hi all - I have just taken receipt of a ABD 35W Xexon HID kit - anyone who has installed one of these Stealth kits got any photographs of your configuration you'd be willing to share? I just can't see how I can get this little lot installed within the Headlamp unit. TIA. Peter

(My FL2 is the facelift version - single bulb for dipped and full beam)


I dont have any pics after installation but this did all fit inside.

You need to remove the light units from the car. Easy - 2x 10mm bolts and a catch underneath released via the pull up rod at the back. Then when you remove the back cover you will see the extra space produced by only having one light inside - the LED DRL doesnt take up much room.
Its a while since I installed mine but IIRC the HID bulb is slightly loose in the HB3 holder - I unscrewed it and was able to bend part of it to make a fit tight. There was a plastic spacer with my kit but I found it a bit too thick. Jules

United Kingdom 2014 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Orkney Grey

I've just fitted the same - grey ballasts stuck on the inside flat base of the housing which is outboard of the actual lamp - the 'spare' lead and the rubber seal all cut away for tidiness.

Nice crisp cutoff on the beam pattern...excellent result! 2000 Xei 1.8 gone
