Hi everyone
Just a quick question, if I am going to fix led spotlights is there a way I can fit them without having to take the bumper off my freelander td4 facelift 04
Thank you

Not really, especially if you wanted it to look tidy.

What are you planning? Light bar? 9" spots? Recessed spots with a chrome bezel?

It's not a big deal to remove the bumper, I saw a video on YT a few months ago.

Just 4 led lights like the picture shows, I suppose I should take it off only all the screws on the underside of the freelander are rusted out so need to be drilled out, although I do have stainless steel ones to replace them.

OK so I can drill into the metal bumper bar behind the plastic bumper, there are no cables along there I take it. Is it easy to put in riv nuts

I'd not bother with fitting those things. They're not going to make much light, at least not enough to actually find useful. You need spots that have LEDs that are designed to focus, not just throw light forward out the front of the unit. Those things won't make any light that's visible past the dips.

There's about 20 bumper fixings, not four.
