2016 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Aintree Green

quick question... what is the "Xenon" upgrade kit

Does anyone know what the Xenon upgrade involves VPLDV0061 £27 in 2015 accessories brochure. I am guessing they are just higher output bulbs, such as those filling the shelves of halfords etc?
Thanks.

Edit >> sorry.. started the post thinking the Xenon was an upgrade available in MY2015 brochure, but then realised it is in general accessories brochure so not really Puma specific

They are standard wattage upgraded H4 bulbs, apparently filled with Xenon gas. Before I switched to LEDs, I did buy these bulbs from my dealer who put them in my SVX Wipac cristal main headlamps. They do have a not too excessive blue band on the back of the glass part.
The difference with standard bulbs is quite noticeable, more light output, much crisper cooler white colour. Oncoming traffic will notice a slight blue shade emitted from parts of the lense, but again, this is quite composed. Some of those other upgraded H4 bulbs have a wider blue band, which personally I never liked.
I have my Wipacs with those lamps in storage now, they are definitely a keeper, even if I think that I will never revert back from LEDs.

Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.
