A wise precaution
When changing a bulb it is wise to switch on the lights before you start, just to make sure you are changing the correct bulb..... or in the case of a series 111 a sealed beam unit Whistle 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

Been there and done that on a Disco II, which requires half the front end dismantling. I was not happy Rolling Eyes Darren

Asked a main dealer to install some upgraded xenon bulbs in a 110. Bulbs are about £26 a pair. Price quoted for supply & fit was £141. Maybe they do the wrongs ones as well!

Couldn't you change the bulbs yourself? Steve.

Absolutely that will be what I'm going to do.

The situation was I was doing a p/ex deal for a new vehicle and this upgrade was one i was trying to get included for free or heavily discounted. A free set of bulbs fitted doesn't sound a great deal to ask but further discussion proved it actually was!
