oh i completed my front end facelift too
the wiring was pretty easy. No relay needed (god know what others have been on about) all working fine
how did you get the dipped beam to stay on with high beam?
usual way is relay & diode.

Started stripping down the Freelander today to change the clutch.
Part way through the job and I realised that everything that needs disconnected/unbolted on the gearbox side is 95% of everything to the complete engine. It was only a few more water hoses and the power steering pipes to disconnect to allow me to drop the entire drivetrain out.
So ten more minutes work to save a lot of arse-ache later balancing a gearbox on my chest and trying to bench-press it into place and wiggling it to get the splines to engage while getting bits of crud in my eyes. Instead I can put it together with ease on the floor and lift it all in.
It had been apart before judging by the odd random non-matching bolt here and there, and the existing system is a bit odd....its got a dual mass flywheel so should have a solid clutch disc but it ALSO has a sprung clutch disc.....meh, whatever. I will bung on a solid flywheel kit and thats that done. The clutch disc is worn to the rivets and the flywheel has a fair bit of play in it. It was well and truly on its last legs.

What make h4's you put in. I replaced mine last week with halfords ultimate ones certainly make a difference although i bought some cheap side light ones to match colour and they are poo
also replaced interior light with a led one soooo much brighter
And not forgetting i painted/dyes all the plastics with forever black dye..... will see how long it lasts

Same, Halfords Ultimate. As for the side lights, again Halfords own.
They where either the Ultra Blue or the Laser Blue, I forget which. The colour difference didn't seem all that different during the day.
Haven't had chance to check them out at night yet.
