I like the look of those. What make are they? I bought the official LR driving lights/fog light pods a while ago but haven't found time to fit them. Your set up looks interesting and strangely less aftermarket than the original pods which look a bit "stuck on".

A photo or two showing the installation would be good too Thumbs Up 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

They are light force 140s so just fit in the main part of the grill

For fog yes I think

Come on guys where do I out the switch inside the cabin??

Only place I can see is the side of the front/rear fog but will need some thought and locating a suitable one?

Unlike previous cars there are no blanks in the "button zones" on this thing 2010 RRS HSE 3.0 tdv6 2010MY

Michael,

How about locating it wher e LR place the OEM Aux light switch for the Sport? Basically it's on the bit of plastic to the left of your instrument panel next to the AC vent.

Then you can get a suitable switch off fleabay....

That's the location.

Here's a poor photo of mine:




You can see the switch in the upper left hand corner, as you say next to the AC vent

installation surprisingly straight forward once i got my head round how they were going on


Click image to enlarge


i used the inverted V brackets / stays with the standard Lightforce bracket mounted upside down to allow more movement / adjustment (yet to be done)

with one lamp in place, marked the grill with a pen and took to it with a hacksaw blade,


Click image to enlarge


I'm having some fibreglass trims made up at the moment to shroud the light and the open ends of the grill so it looks finished Smile

when it fairs up a bit I will take some better pictures

the landrover badge on the grill dictates how far apart the lights can go, and the hight of the trim round the 'mesh' dictate the mounting height of them 2010 RRS HSE 3.0 tdv6 2010MY

Those switches are quite neat Michael. I assume the chrome nut goes behind the panel so will look like a parking sensor when fitted? Difficult to find something to look "factory" and not spoil the interior (Not as much of an issue on my pre facelift Smile )
