think its a case of searching, the light kit is the least of your worries, concentrate on getting a good mechanical condition car first

lets be realistic, prices on the open market for range rovers are falling like grand pianos, if you have cash, you are in charge. If you are going for a diesel p38, about 1996-98, expect to pay between £1200-£2200, depending on spec and mileage. Adjust this for age, the fresher the model. Petrol V8 (4.0-4.6) possibly slightly more as they tend to have a higher quality spec. LPG is a good option, lots on ebay at present, slightly dearer but value long term due to fuel price ( about 51ppl).

Have said to others before, try the dealer network. They will have yards full of trade ins from the last 6-12 months. They arent shifting much at the moment so will be glad for a couple of grand in cash coming through the business. Get a bargain and get it warrantied and checked. I got a 1995 p38 dtse for £1500, perfect working order, but no mot. Just washed it put it through, no probs. Inspector said it was a beauty, would i sell it!!!!
