i got them from jlb motor factors in burton ,the pegs are offset on the originals and the ones i got are opposite pegs so i filed one of the pegs down and they fit perfect and make a huge difference

Cheers, I was only looking at led type upgrades, never thought of staying standard.

These are 21w and have offset pins.......

Yes, I noticed that when I first searched, but forgot when I ordered.

Like you say, says x2 at the top, but "one bulb supplied" as a bullet point, and then x2 in the product description.......... 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

I take it that the reverse bulbs are Non- CanBus and fitting alternatives don't bring on a Bulb Failure? Confused

I have put Can-Bus LED's in Mine which are absolute Censored and do not illuminate anything - worse than a Candle Big Cry '54 Adriatic Blue Vogue

I'm pretty sure the reverse lights aren't checked. I had a bad connection previously and only one came on. Car never told me.

I looked at cree led upgrade a few months ago, but the bulbs were too long for the light unit.

Will see how the halogen "standard" type light does with a higher wattage. 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

I think it is a case of seeing how easy the Lights can come apart and then the biggest brightest led panel

i have some 5050 smd panels with which i thought of doing this but it looks like the lens is bonded to the back so some 'un-glueing' will have to be done.. ... - .- -.
