New Grille with old lights :p
Hi Gents,

New member n 1st ever question. Very recently upgraded my 300Tdi to the very latest 2.2TDCi. Some friends gifted me the orig LR 'Front Grille Moulding Kit' Thumbs Up , but no front lighting pack Big Cry
Since I am already broke with the change n other upgrades I've been making, wondering if it is possible to use the existing front lights with the moulding kit n light surrounds??? At least till I'm able to afford the switch at some later date Question Any help/guidance greatly appreciated.

Oh it's the LR orig Front Grill n Lamps moulding kit (complete 3 piece set - LR008361). Usually though, every pic I've seen of this kit (like on the SVX vehicles), the lights used with the kit r the LR upgrade front lights kit (VPLDV0001). That last lights kit alone is about £500 Sad

Sorry, lemme make this clearer. The gift moulding kit that I got is orig LR, BUT it's the optional upgrade grill n lights moulding kit (not the normal stuff that comes with the standard vehicle).

I'm sure people would be glad to help but perhaps like me are a bit confused as to what moulding kit you mean, any chance of a photo? Steve.

Headlights yes, sidelights no longer relevant and indicators are too big. IIRC in SVX grille indicators are around 55mm and aux driving lights are 90mm. You'd need to validate this by measuring.

You can look at sourcing equivalents from somewhere like dun-bri.com

LR008361 would appear to be the SVX grille kit.

Not having one (and frankly not liking them as much as the standard grille) I can't answer the OPs question except to say that I don't think the lights are compatible. Hopefully someone who's upgraded can provide a definitive answer.

This one?



The accessories section on the LR site says:

Can only be fitted in conjunction with the Lighting Packs - Part numbers: VPLDV0001 / VPLDV0002 / VPLDV0003 / VPLDV0004.

I'm thinking confusion set in when you said original and perhaps like me series III springs to mind.

I think what you meant was OEM like on the SVX ?

Guys .. thanx much for the input. Agree & apologise for the confusion caused by my orig post. Also agree with SteveG ... I doubt I'll be able to get the existing front lights into the SVX Grill set Sad Which means have to wait till I'm able to gather enough to dish out for the lighting packs also Big Cry . HOWEVER ... have a couple of free days coming up, n greatly inspired by the experimental and adventurous spirit of all on this & other such forums, am going to give it a "try" n see if I can somehow push/crush/pack the existing lights in (may require some mods or possible breakage Wink ) Will keep u all posted as well Thumbs Up

Some people on here have upgraded their SVX type front indicators to led units, so if you post a wanted in that section you may pick up a pair of the indicators you need at an ok price.

You can pick up a set of crystal headlights for about £45 and a good set of uprated headlight bulbs for £12-20. I got some osram Nightbreaker plus on amazon for £12 pair

Thanks

Steve

Oooookaaay!! So u're saying I may be able to get an entire SVX front lighting pack for perhaps less than £100???? Let me think about this now Rolling Eyes OKAY Thumbs Up At the cost of sounding stupid, is there a separate section for wanted posts, or do I just start a new post n state the required??

It all depends on price people want for their original indicators and you'll still need to source a pair of 90mm aux driving lights.

Yes start a new topic.Wanted SVX indicators

Cheers

Steve
