Okay I found these pictures on cardomain, and you as well can search for them if you go to www.cardomain.com and search for Land Rover Discovery. Anyways I have this same exact Disco as the person who converted their headlights to the newer models lights and I want them too! Any suggestions on where I should start? Could the local mechanic do it? I want those headlights! :drive:

Here is what i did on one of my RRs..

That is sweet, I wanted to do the same thing to my RR, alas i think there is much too much metal in the way. I had a 91 that i put some hella 500's near the original lights, and mimicked this look, and was super cheap to do ( $59.00 ) Looked great! although i was about an eight of an inch off on the right side..

I have an ARB on the current RR, so its not possible

You may also want to consider the front euro-specs. 4-light grille for your Classic.They look really nice!!!

those are the headlights from the 03 and 04 models, and i have been to that page, you might not want to tackle that job since i believe it involves some cutting of the current metal and such. just go to roversnorth.com and get the regular d2 headlights (like from 99-02) - they are plug and play with a d1, and only $130. the newer lights like you were looking at include the turn signal and are major expensive. just some tips.

03' conversion

Hey there - those pics looked a bit familiar. That's actually my 2000 Disco. I'm glad you liked the way it turned out. I actually just finished repainting the grille and will post some new pics. The conversion was a bit more than bolting on the new lamps. There's some cutting and once you start cutting there's no turning back. There's also quite a bit of rewiring. I don't want to discourage anyone from doing it, in fact if you have questions I'll try as much as I can to answer them. It could be exspensive, but keep your eyes on Ebay!

Yeah those have been around for a while, I was trying to give the front end of this RR a more updated look. Similar to the New RR and Disco. Ill admit its a cheap A$$ way to do it, but then again .. it was cheap to do too!.. I cant fit a Euro-Spec grille to my RR because i have an ARB bumper.. an the lights would be blocked by the Hellas most likely..

hope you're not mad i borrowed ur pics, just wanted to show everyone. Plus i want them on my car. The only thing i noticed is how big they look because of the white rim you removed under the headlights and you replaced it with a blending black piece which makes the headlights taller in appearance. How many hours did it take to get the job done?

 

[ibjettin]

I'm not mad at all I actually posted them so people could check it out. Before I began the conversion I was searching the internet for ANY help at all. I found one page: http://www.disco2.com/howto/
I'm hoping to put together my own guide on how to do it and post it soon. the converson took me a couple of days, but it could be done in one. I did decide to paint the finishing trim black so the lamps looked much larger, I also painted the front grille.

You could run it into Orange County Choppers or is that the wrong Orange county?

West Coast Customs

Orange County Choppers is for motorcycles.
West Coast Customs is where you can trick out any car anyway you want. I'm sure they could do almost anything.

 

[ibjettin]

True, but i could do without the 20 monitors throughout the truck (including 1 underneath), a hot tub and bowling ball cleaner.
:lol: I just imagined an OCC - Land Rover inspired chopper

OrangeCountyLR714 - Are you still thinking about doing the conversion??

 

[apbtpetey]

I love those lights. Anybody know if a D1 can be converted to these lights? I know it might take some work, but I have been working on cars for along time and what I cannot do my father can. He also does body work so cutting and painting wouldn't be a problem. Just wondering how much you had to cut and would doing this on a D1 be a similar job as to what it takes to do on a D2?

 

[ibjettin]

It would be a bit more work on a D1, but I think it can be done. You will have to change the front fenders as well. It also takes a bit of cutting - it seems like you and your dad could knock it out without an problem. I have pics of the work I've done to my 2000 D2. Send me an email and I could provide you with more info.

New York is the state that Orange County Choppers is in .

I was looking through CarDomain and found this, first time I had ever seen it...

It's not the real thing...but Photoshopping it indicates that it looks pretty damn good.Would like to see a 3/4 shot of a D1 wih 03 Lights.

IBJETTIN,

Check your e-mail. I sent you something in your e-mail about doing this conversion on a D1.

I thought I got back to you?? :dunno: Sorry, I do get a lot of emails about the conversion. I try to get to all of them, but it gets difficult.

The picture shows the answer to your question about DI and (03'-04' DII) differences. The biggest difference that would prevent this mod on a DI is the front fender. You could see where the front turn signal is, it slopes down a bit. The DII's are more squared off. This is why you would change the front fenders. I believe it is true that the 99.5'-2002 DII headlamp fits a DI, but in 2003 they changed the entire unit.
