I found a set of headlights for a resonable price picking them up tomorrow!!!

Hi, I appreciate the kind offer of trying tp help. But Im not going to go down that route. Im exhausting all avenue's for a European set of lights and if not the car is going back to England to be sold. Many thanks,

Thanks do you know someone that can help me do the work in France??

Thanks

Thanks, im going to try and avoid mods by finding a pair of lights suitable at a resonable price. I have a guy with access to lights second hand but there is many options and trying to work out which ones are correct.

Hi mate, Yes I have spoke to Rob. Im waiting to hear if he knows a way to modify to use a different model light. Thanks

They dont have them in stock 😂🙌

Hi, I have found these headlamps in Turkey question is will it fit my Right hand drive disco 2004 landmark. And will it have the correct beam pattern for the French contrôle technique? Part number XBC501510 it says for left hand drive vehicles...

And given JLR dont make the phase 2 lights anymore they are hard to find. I need to remove the phase 2 headlamp unit and replace them with a more readily availible model and that is cheaper. Any ideas !?

So im back to square one. Datateks solution doesnt apply to a 2004 Disco headlamps.

Hi Datatek, I just sent you back an email where I have drawn onto the image you Sent over. I also placed a protractor over the top of your image and the angle I have drawn. Assuming I dont have the wider bottom slots that will regulate the...

Sorry yes, I just read again the email, I see. Many thanks !

Adjustments as in dropping the passenger side down and driver side up ?

Thanks alot that makes perfect sense. Are the adjustments done by rotating inboard and outboard adjustment ? Thank you !

Email sent.

I Noticed in the USA I can find the headlamp for 180 quid each. Shipping and import cost will no doubt bump it back up to what they cost here. This sounds promising, thank you ! I have sent over my email in a PM. Cheers.

@korthaldisco2 I do not know the Disco, but I have a method to convert RHD headlights to LHD at no cost. PM me with an email address and I will send you a how to. I'm pretty sure it will work for the Disco, same vintage more or less as the P38.

Wow!! closest to that I have known is a house I lived in in Bath, where ground floor at the front was the first floor at the back and the garden was so steep, if it rained you slid down it. So pretty cool at night then!

People on here are always on about what is the best paint, and of course over here in Frogland it isn't easy to get the same thing. Message a guy called Datatek he may be able to help as he lives near Poitiers and is a mine of info about this...

I contacted Rob at Auto Essentiel to see if he can supply something that will get me through the contrôlé tecnique.

On my headlamps the lenses appear clear without any pattern and both the main beam and dipped beam bulbs look to be standard halogen. So im assuming you cant flatten the light via a lever.

You did thanks ! From what I can see the zenon bulbs have a shaft which runs up the outside of the Bulb. And give off a much whiter appearance I just checked and both my bulbe are just standard halogen.

Thanks for the response ! Sounds interesting.

The reason i got the disco is even with snow tyres 6" of fresh snow and you cant get up the hill to our house. Il probably stick with the At3s and just get chains.

That dropped overnight last winter. In the last 20 years had once over 2m in the garden

you need snow tyres by law or to carry chains or socks from 1/11 unti 31/3..

Thanks for the help ! Goodnight

I have not done a winter here in the disco yet. On the car is General grabber AT3s

Il have a read thanks ! The one thing that stands out to me is doing a half arsed job and trapping moisture between a coating and metal. Thats what im worried about. Think you are preserving it but actually speeding up the rot.
