    2018 Discovery Td6 S Indus Silver

    Headlight upgrade to LED?

    Hi All. Bought my D5 just over a month ago (used 2018 reg), it's the basic S model but had a few upgrades when originally purchased. I didn't even think about the headlights until I drove in the dark for the first time and they're not LED. I was used to LED lights on my D4 and I'm now wondering could I change them for LED headlights without paying a fortune at an LR dealer? Would it be a case of buying a complete headlight unit and do a straight swap or would there be anything extra required?

    It's not essential but I like the look of the LED running lights and I'd like the extra brightness of LED headlights for winter.

    Thanks.

    I'm guessing, but I would expect any change/upgrade to involve altering the CCF, which could be be done on the D3/ D4 with aftermarket software and hardware, The D5 operates on a totally different platform and would necessitate a visit to the stealer unless an indie with pathfinder can do it. IF it can be done.

    It is possible to replace Halogen with LED, wiring is different and requires a cross over harness making up.

    Update on this, looks like you’ll need a LIN bus connection back to the the BCM, and a CCF config change.

    I'm interested in upgrading the lights on my MY2017 S to LED. The dealer said not possible, but from here looks like it is. Please could someone post the detail?
