Engr.karim Alsakka well done 👍🏻

I love that you guys use metric for temperature and imperial for everything else. While most places use F for cooking and metric for everything else.

[@L663]

Its weird I agree - welcome to Britain !

I've really been enjoying this project! Just as good as watching Wheeler Dealers! Well done to you and Dan!

[@duncanramsey2075]

“Doesn’t look...too chav’d up” (0:36) Love it! And a genuine concern - it’s a fine line between upgrading a car and chaving up a car. Great job here Dan - I’ve been thinking about how to do this for a while, and now I know how! :)

Did somebody KNOW how to adjust the head ligth whit AFS system??? 2006 range rover my head light its pointing down insted of pointing straigth!!!!

For those of us that have the newer variant, I just did headlight lenses on my 2011 RR Sport. Sorry, no video.... They are a royal pain in the arse to remove from the assembly. Basically you must Dremel them off and use vice grips to tear the remaining pieces out of the groves. They were siliconed in place which is why it is so difficult to remove. Heating them like they do in this video does help a lot. I ended up heating each lamp about 5 times while pulling chunks of lens out of the housing. After removal, clean it as best you can and use butyl tape like they did in this video. Heat it up awhile, let it cool and install! I was shocked how well the butyl worked too, 6 months and countless car washes and storms later and still no lens fogging. It is doable on the newer ones, just gotta have patience!

[@L663]

Yes the 2010 on lights do indeed have some space grade adhesive used on them...

[@LorenzoCalgaryRealtor]

I have a 2010. Thank you for for the heads up on the difficulty.

[@TheOVERLOFT]

Hello, good morning from Spain, I would like to know if there is a possibility of updating these headlights with "LEDS". Thank you very much for your response.

[@L663]

We have not tried - this may be possible but the light contol module may not be happy as the power consumed may be different to the Xenon bulb.

[@subarubuildz1738]

Is this the same procedure for a 2006 Range Rover Westminster?

[@patrickbrown6686]

Can this be done by just using a Heat Gun? I don't wist to use the oven

[@L663]

Give it a try

[@donwk1892]

[@robpurbrick1]

Any plans to source and stock repllacement lens for the 05 to 09 sport please. Have no problem splitting the lamp but cant find replacement lenses anywhere. Am sure there would be a market for them as all the ones I see are faded and misted now

[@L663]

Yes this is in production now ! will be about 8 weeks

You could paint the grill black to match

How many coats of primer & coasts of the black paint?

Can the LED models from the 2010+ be fitted to older model RR Sports?

[@jonathanjames5330]

Hi Stupid question I’m sure but what sort of silicone are you using to re attach the lens pls?

[@BaitedCastaways]

I’m noticing flickering on my lights and much dimmer than they used to be. 2011 sport supercharged. Do you have a video for this fix?

[@L663]

Hi - is this on both lights ? or just one ? if its just one light its a good trick to swap the bulbs from one side of the car to the other and see is you can work out which element is giving the issue.

[@ellispaulin3674]

Have you attempted this with the facelift headlights (2010-2013?) I can’t seem to get the sealant apart regardless of heat.

[@L663]

We did attempt this with the later Range Rover L322 headlights and these would not come apart so i think you may be correct in your findings... not all headlights come apart.

[@ellispaulin3674]

powerfulukltd thanks for confirming this👍🏼

[@crazylittlecritters]

I have tried and tried on my 2010 Range Rover supercharged and no matter how many times I put it in the oven it won’t come apart

[@24wnbfpro]

@@crazylittlecritters had anyone been able to separate a '10-'13 headlight?

[@mjyampa]

2020 RRS HSE: tried three times before reading this comment... adhesive does not soften in the oven... even holding to a flame. Still appreciated the video posting, tx.

[@williamlelong2195]

Can we do the same for the rear led ones?

[@justinsymonds8470]

Quick question… could you not use a heat gun on the adhesive?… I’m trying to restore an 07 sport and I’m a little scared of putting the headlight in the oven considering it’s near 1k if I mess anything up

[@L663]

Yes its just a bit more tricky with a heat gun to get even heat around the whole lens... but it is possible and the option a lot of people go for.

[@alstonholder2408]

Can you use a heat gun as well????

[@L663]

Yes this works well

[@johnreynolds8077]

Can led bulbs replace all the bulbs in an 06 res l320

[@darreng745]

Interesting that you heated the headlights with the ballast packs still in place bearing in mind just how much those items cost to replace, was that a time constraint or did you not wish to remove them?

[@L663]

They still worked after....most modern electronics should be good up to this temperature... it was not that hot.

[@markrathburn8289]

I used a heat gun to soften the glue instead of the oven FYI

[@ah6559]

Love the vids, you should try and swap the rear view mirror on your 2016 sport build with the 2020 rear view mirror, looks like it might work

[@ShirleyAerial]

Nice! I will do this next. I have to replace my AFS motor as my headlight goes limp every few car rides. I have the same colour RRSSC!

[@andyviloria8773]

Can you do the same video to a Range Rover Sport MY 2014? I have my LEDs go out and DRL blinks 6x upon starting the car then it goes off. thank you.

[@shawnbrown5593]

What year truck these lights come out of?

[@L663]

2005

[@MARKSCHUSTER-e9v]

You don't mix silicone and the oem glue. When warm smooth out glue in channel. Off the sides and pushed to the bottom. If you need to fill in a bit use a donor lights glue or use some windshield butyl. You can use silicone if channel is completely clean. I'll use that for lenses that i did a lens swap by cutting lens off a urethane or silicone based glue that are not affected by heat. I split and repair a lot of lights. Just a fyi from my experience.

[@L663]

Thanks for sharing your wisdom !

[@AndyK.1]

Did you fix the non working HID before taking it to MOT?

[@L663]

Yes we swapped a few things around - turned out to be the HID pack on the underside of the headlight.

[@DavidSmith-sf4dr]

@@L663 hello Can anyone tell me is there a HID pack on each headlight please. Also is this the square unit that screws on behind the bulb ? Thanks.

[@L663]

Hi - we have found the 2010 headlights really difficult to open and putting in the oven does not seem to help very much !

[@sykassiopeia]

Good morning from EU! Because our RRS1 are getting older and older there is a need for headlight glasses or a treat for them (polishing). Maybe there are no faded out glasses in the UK (due to lack of UV) but in EU esp. the south part this problem is really cooking up! You have made an excellent video about opening die headlight and painting die 'guts'... ...why not putting a new glas on...? BTW: I love your comments with British humour!

[@L663]
