[QUOTE="Balmain Bob, post: 488945, member: 739"] Before you modify your vehicle check the legalities of what you intend to do or you could find yourself with a fine or two . Ive recently been looking into upgrading the headlights / globes in the Patrol and have realized that it is a minefield trying to do it legally Adding or removing lights to you vehicle can be illegal along with just upgrading the globes. Just replacing a standard globe with a LED , without changing the entire headlight unit to one that complies could see you getting fined if the copper is having a bad day the next time you get pulled in for a RBT. Generally you can only replace like for like . Any light out put over 2000 lumens requires the vehicle to have a headlight self leveling system and headlight washers. Here is a link to one of the sites I have been reading.
