Hello,
I'm going to make the upgrade(to my '99 td5 Disco) in a few weeks and have a few questions if anybody can help please:
-if I'm using the proper wiring kit(from ebay) do I have to use the indications from here or do I have to solder the same colours(red to red,blue to blue,etc).
-the headlamp adjustment that works now on my Disco will work after the upgrade, or depends if availlable in the new headlamps.
-the panel that is under the headlights can be cut to fit the new ones?
Thank you for any help and excuze my language mistakes!

TDi 200 94 I have searched the 'Disco Headlight Thread' Has anyone changed the original 50/55watt headlight lamps for the 100watt type, If the wiring is upgraded - relay added and a separate supply - are the headlight shells going to cope with the extra heat? Does the change give much of an improvement.
Thanks

I read somewhere that changing a 50watt bulb for a 100 watt does not give you twice the light, it then said why, but that got to techy for me.
Same with sound with a 200 watt amp it's not twice the sound of a 100watt amp
I ran 100-80w bulbs in my old RR and they were a brighter, no probs with the existing wiring until I flashed the head lamps, then the fuse poped.
The high wattage bulbs must run hotter but I again didn't have any probs.
Soon after that the new 60% or 80% brighter bulbs came onto the market and so went and fitted them. Still use that type of bulb today.
Halfords are doing (or were) 90% brighter bulbs, buy one get one free. BOGOF

Do that, that would be good to hear, as not much is said about results of these bulbs
I found that they don't give direct (in front of you) spot/beam on the road as much, they give a bright white light evenly over the whole road ie. n/s kerb and also both sides.
If you have lamp guards, as I have, the guards will throw shadows, strange, but the bulbs are big improvement over the bog standard ones.

Hi Plasek
The kit I used was from China, since that posting there are many other kits on the market and cheaper, I dont think it matters which one you use, it must be an H4 bulb which gives you both hi and low beams HID Xenon.
These are readily available in South Africa so I imagine you will have more options.
Kindest Regards

Pity its illegal to fit HID lights to a UK motor that doesnt have self levelling headlights, have to be CE approved, int it?
