As title really,
Ive just fitted one of these kits to my Defender TD5 and im thinking of importing some of these kits if the price and intrest from customers is good. The kit i have fitted is a HID dip and main kit, i did try just the basic dip kit but it was not to clever so ive ended up opted for the full H4-2 kit which i more expencive than just the dip version.

I fitted a set 12 months ago to mine and have been past plenty of Rozzers with my lights on, never been stopped, why are they illegal? I know that there is a lens issue, ie the original lenses are not suitable for xenons, but wipac do a plain glass lens which I would have assumed was OK.
Come on MSE point me in the right direction  2019 MY Disco 5 HSE Lux

First you have to have self leveling headlight units, you must also have headlamp washer units.
Im sure its vosa that said that reto-fitting was illegal - ill see if i can find it Mike |

I have a plan for the electronic self leveling units, LR made a defender head light with electronic MANUAL adjust so im planning on modding it to be automatic.
Or even using a new replacement 7" unit that is designed for HID with the correct lense and backing inside and servo for the leveling using ultrasonics to control it. Regarding the washers that is simple with a extra pump on the bottle. Ps i been out playing in the dark im happy with the light gain. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Regards Pete |

Hi Pete,
Followed you home after the drive out and these seem excellent & very bright/powerful 
Any idea on the cost as yet 
Kinda think Devon 4x4 are selling them but no doubt they want the earth for a pair 
Also, I think the 60th model has something like this as standard

Regarding the washers.........this is only to get Type Approval when the vehicle is manufactured. You can have HID lights without washers if fitted after the date of manufacture.
