Hi all there is a YouTube video from Powerful uk, on replacing the lens cover which goes into detail of what's inside the headlight. 2017 SDV8 4.4 silicon silver AB

Phoenix, I just fitted the LED bulbs from your earlier Amazon link. When I have had a night drive, I’ll report back. Quite an easy job, just a bit of a faff getting the air boxes off. Tried to take the first one off whole, doesn’t work, split them, then it’s ok. Thanks all 2013 SDV8 4.4 SE Luxor.

Sorry about that, I did mine whilst I was changing the air filters and airbox screws so I didn't think to mention it! |

I’m looking at fitting the LED bulbs that Phoenix linked to, but to my L322. Are folk still happy with them?

I fitted the same style of 50W LED D3S globes to my MY12 L322 with no thought whatsoever of refitting the HID globes. |

Just be careful when fitting. Lights off. Ignition off. Otherwise lots of voltage. Other than that, it’s easy. 2013 SDV8 4.4 SE Luxor.

Thanks for the advice - it's the installation of these that's been putting me off for so long. I have some free time and winter is coming, so based on the positive reviews I'm finally doing it. |

They're just the light source, the optics (and shutter) in the headlamp assembly determine where the light is positioned on the road. |
