i think the svx grill will look nice on my new 90, before committing to buy what is involved in fitting it, i saw a great post on a site online about fitting it but they show drilling the panels ? is this correct and say if i ever wanted to remove the svx grill and put the original back on will the holes be on show cheers

Didn't Danielle do a series of 'how to' pictures on this only the other day? I'm pretty sure that there was some cutting to fit the light units. Darren

I think the cut outs he did would be covered by the standard headlight surrounds anyway.

If I remember correctly (as I fitted mine three years ago) you have to cut the panel if you fit the version with electric headlight adjustment

cheers Matt, i have the 3 level headlamp switch on my dash so i suppose the proper thing to do would be to wire it up, is it a simple plug in job as i see you get a loom with the lights and grill CSK Automotive

dont do it, it doesnt look right with Keswick Green (old school colour needs old school look) IMO

The SVX grill kit I went with didn't have the electric levelling so no need to cut front panel
Also means I don't know what is involved in wiring levelling switch up - I doubt loom is included with kit for dash switch though |

i know what you mean but i do really like the svx grill and i want to keep that up to date look about it, after seeing a few landys locally with them fitted i think they look great. even though i would be saving loads getting the heritage style from entreq and so fourth but i think i would regret it now i have the svx one in mind Matt hopefully Dgardel will be along shortly and answer our questions about headlamp leveling and cutting out CSK Automotive www.cskautomotive.co.uk Like us on Facebook - www.facebook.com/csklr Follow us on Instagram - @cskautomotive |

Every modification done for the new grill is hidden by the OLD or new surrounds also.
So you can came back from the SVX front to the old one without "signs" of the "downgrade"!!! remember that you must use: 1. the original harness kit from Land Rover or 2. diy new harness(like me) for the new driving lamps. If you need I can post a little short list about the "minimum necessary" goodies that you must buy from LR dealer for do the job.

You need to cut for create the levelling motor space/room
