Cheap and work, dead easy to fit; however, lets see what Mr MOT chap says next year.

Just read your link 'Chicken Drumstick' Do you really have to clean the fins on the back of the light unit regularly or am I being a duffer? Cos for £36 they don't seem to bad, I like the idea of 'proper' LED headlights but it just seems another bit of bling to attract the thieving scroat brigade as they aren't the hardest thing to rob of the front

Thanks Coffeelandy. I've had a quick google on those...they do two models of light but are around the £300 mark from what I can see. Any links to the £200 version?

Oh for goodness sake. I never said "how inadequate Land Rovers are". I'll let you into a little secret, I too run and enjoy an old Land Rover! Yes, lots of it is inadequate, it's not very good on diesel, there's feck all elbow room, it steams up, it's noisy, slow (although much faster than it was when it left the factory) and there's a million other things that aren't very good about it but that's exact reason I bought a 30 year old 110 rather than a Mitsu-yota for goodness sake, because I love Land Rovers. I think most readers of this forum won't take too much offence about pointing out which bits can be improved and the multi million pound industry based on Land Rover upgrades does OK out of it too.

Thank you to all for the comments and suggestions/links, I'll do some reading and decide which way to go. As I mentioned before, I am a fan of LED technology, and I quite like the look of some LED lamps, so whilst I appreciate that I could fit new bulbs etc, I'm keen on the idea of a safe, legal, useable LED solution for a number of reasons. Thanks again.

There's nothing actually broken or suspect on my lights, they are just crap, that's all. The technology is ancient, and things have moved on with LEDs.

I've owned two 2008 BMWs, one with standard halogens. These were of course 2008 technology, not 1980s, and whilst they were OK, they were not brilliant if you wanted to "push on" a bit at night on unlit roads. The second car (same age) has factory fit LEDs and the difference is enormous.

I'd be interested to see the performance of the bulbs listed above, however LEDs have revolutionised lighting in so many other fields that I have an interest in (sailing, cycling, camping, DIY home lighting) it just seems daft not taking advantage of the technology in the one place I'd really see the benefit.

Drum brakes and cross plies on a 109" are fine and legal. Disc brakes and radials on a 110 are just soooooo much better.
