I'll let you know how I get on with mine, since they come complete with resistors. I'm sure there's no cutting of bodywork, I was talking to a Land Rover sales guy today and he said they had upgraded some earlier cars with the later lights and they're an easy fit.

hi scarey, yes i know adam from l322, he helped me with my bluetooth conversion, he was one of the first to do the 2010 conversion on his car and soon found out about the fog light issue, he has also got the 2010 mirrors fitted and working as well. he has a full list of the wires for the 2006 and 2010 headlamps.

Anybody have any ideas or knowledge about this? I've received my set of 2010 lights, and they have resistors to resolve the indicator issues. The resistors are to be mounted on the outside of the inner skin, in order to dissipate heat.

hi, as far as i know they are on when you switch on the side lights as the fogs share the same supply, its the lcm that controls the voltage to make them brighter when fogs are selected and with a standard lcm it puts full power to them all the time,hench the fogs always on..

Hi the fog light circuit has around 4 volts on it all the while so you need to insert a relay so that with 4 volts across the coil it will not energise however when you switch the fogs on the 4 voltts rises to 12 volts and then powers the lamp you will require a resistor across this to rid the error message |

What i've been advised by the nice chaps at L322.com is to disconnect the wire to the fogs as a work around, if the guys fitting it can't find another solution I'll live with this until a better solution is found (and published!). Range Rover-less at the moment - Pining! |

doing that will give you a fog light error all the time i have done this conversion with no problems |
