Freelander 1 How to do the facelift job

Hi to all,
as I was searching for this how to and I didn't find any with photos... here is my how to do the facelift modification, hope this help to someone.

1. Disassemble headlights and front bumper.
   
   
2. Cut this to fit the new headlights:
   
3. it will look like this:
   
   (The "L" mounting has been removed too)
4. Make a hole to the bottom headlight mounting.
5. Cut the old connectors and weld the wire to the new. Lucky they are the same color.
   
   Because we have to convert the h4 headlight to a two h7 headlight we have to weld a diode from highbeam to lowbeam wire
   
   
   A diode it's something like this:
   ​
   The part of the grey line don't let cross the electricity, so the grey line goes on the low beam wire.
   
   Low beam wires: (Blue - Pink) and (Blue - Black)
   High beam wires: (Blue - Grey) and (Blue - Green)​
6. Tow hitch time, we have to rotate it to put it in vertical:
   
   To do this there are two options: make a new hole (i dicarted it because the new hole will be make in a nerve) or cut the piece of the tow hitch that stands out:
   
7. Cut a little piece of the bottom of the bumper to fit the bottom hitch and make some holes to attache the bottom of the bumper:
   

Now the bumper and headlights fit perfectly, if you don't put the foglights... to fit them have to cut cut the crash bar like this:

(Sorry I don't have the photo of the crash bar cutted, but you have to cut for the blue line, the one thats is more inside).

Now the only to do, if you don't have the fog lights installation is to do this, i have it in the todo list too.
Here is how it look now:
