Freelander spot lights

Will the spot light pods from '04 MY Freelanders fit pre face lift models? Don't mind a bit of fiddling to get there.....

Im in the same boat, I want some spots too, dunno which is the best route to go though, them pod type things, spot light brackets or get an A bar & put some on that?
I enquired about 04 spot pods but the bloke just said they wont fit earlier models, no explanation or owt just they wont fit.

Just taken delivery of '04 spot lights (£13 off t' e-bay). I have got Monday off work in order to fit them (all being well). Will update as to any problems with fitting them to an '02. They WILL fit......

I'm sure they WILL fit! but fit and look good is another matter!

Don't see why they wouldn't fit. Wiring loom seems ok and they look ded gud when I sort of just hold them on the bumper.....
Just hope there is room behind the bumper when I make that fatal cut into it

Good luck with the project, take some pics of the job to help the thicker members of the forum (me) when they attempt it.

Good news!!!!! The spot lights do fit. There is plenty of room behind the bumper, even with a pre-heater. The angle of the pods mean that they fit best at the extreme edges of the bumper, which is ideal as they miss the re-enforcing bar behind.
Supplied switches will fit in the blanks on the centre consol (if you have any) but I had to make a bracket to fit over the storage thing at the far right of the dash to mount the switch. Wiring loom is exact fit.
Only draw back is lack of lateral adjustment, but can be rectified by elongating lamp bracket fixings where lamp screws to bracket. Easy.
If I work out how to attach photos, I might just do so.....

Thats good then, hope you suss out the photo uploading thing, would like to see em so I know what Im getting myself into. Did it take long? Whats to watch out for?

Main thing is making sure they are at the same position on each side. Measure up from as many fixed points as poss when fixing templates. All in all its not a difficult job, the hardest part is having the b******s to make the initial cut into the expensive front bumper.........
