Hi folks,

Is it possible to add auto wipers and lights to a freely 2 that doesnt have then as stock?

I have just bought a 2013 fr2 GS which to my surprise didnt come with auto lights or wipers, after coming from my past 4 vehicles having this, its something I didnt think id miss this much u till you dont have it.

Can you buy the stalk and sensing parts and just add them in, or is it a PITA job or having to source wiring looms and taking the dash apart etc?

I'd imagine If it was an extra back in the day, LR would've made it easier on themselves by just making them plug and play, but the cynical part of me says 'probably not'

I wouldn't bother with the auto wipers cos they are rubbish.

What's worse, you don't have an intermittent setting so you are constantly faffing around - double trouble.

Auto lights are good, just leave them on auto and forget about ever having to do anything with the lights. *1 *2

*3


Notes:
*1 : Unless the Mrs uses it and by some miraculous power, the main beam is always switched on when she leaves it.

*2 : Unless you have a bulb out, then its best to turn them off even in dusk.

*3 : I don't know if you can enable them, but if you can configure the wiper system to change from auto to intermittent, I'd love to know how.

*1 is magic, and seems to be installed in every F2

Auto lights are great, but, as every car, they still struggle to sense fog during the day, and so many people forget to override and switch their lights on. (That’s not LR specific of course).

Still don’t think you can retrofit these though.
