Hello all,
I have just purchased a 2016 Discovery 4 which we are really pleased with, I would like to upgrade the main beam and high beam bulbs to LED but unsure which are the best to use, hopefully looking for some recommendations.

Interesting timing, i have just picked up my 2015 and was thinking the same this morning as I drove to work at 05.00hrs this morning - can they upgraded to LED then?
I would also like to do puddle lights, numberplate etc. if anyone can recommend some error free replacements?

You can upgrade most interior lights, number plate, fog and brake are available from powerful UK, which I have ordered, unable to find LED vanity mirror bulbs though.

I did see Powerful UK offerings, thought I would ask in case there is a preferred supplier? What's the score with upgrading the xenon bulbs to LED as you suggested you wanted to do - is this possible?

Powerful UK also do a superb 'how to change the bulbs video' which I recommend.
The vanity bulbs are a complete PITA and you'll likely become familiar with fuse replacement. I ended up leaving those in as they are rarely used and SWMBO says she prefers the OEM light from those...
Makes a big difference the complete LED swapover... Jim

I fitted LEDs to my D4 facelift xenons about 4 years ago, way better output than new xenon bulbs and much cheaper, but still not as good as the old D3s.
Plenty of choice on ebay and far cheaper than Powerful UK. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

What is the beam like, is it even, are there any dark spots etc. Is the cut off line tight?
