This turned out to be quite a project.
The first mounting kit had a production fault and could not be used, the dealer then had to order replacements and start all over again. When they received the next set some parts were missing, and so on. I must say the dealer did a good job and they only charged a fixed price for the assembly, even though it ended up taking several days instead of a few hours..
Anyways, the problem is that the Hella Luminator Compact Xenons have a bolt under the lights that point straight down to the bumper, the OEM mounts are made for lights that are attached from the backside of the lamp where the bolt faces towards the grill. In other words I need a 90degree bracket that can be attached to the OEM mounts, so far I have not been able to find any suitable bracket so I fear I have to get them made somewhere - and that is where I am today..
MrH on this forum made the brackets himself:

I guess I should have read his post before I started, but after seeing these lights on the Millenium Disco I assumed the OEM mounts would fit, I guess LR customized them somehow..
Autumn is coming, time to get the job done..
I'll let you know how they perform as soon as it is done, can't promise a quick reply though. [/url]

I stumbled upon a video that shows how Land Rover fixed the Hella spots, sorry about the picture quality but it is a screen clip from a youtube video:

I assume they used the OEM mounts, but replaced the original bracket with a flat steel plate with two holes for the bolts. Simple and solid. After test mounting the spots this weekend I believe their solution is better than the angled bracket, although that did work fine.
LR must have cut or replaced the bolt on the Hellas to get it short enough, you must be prepared to do the same if you want to go this route.
Typical that I discovered this only a few days after I made the other brackets..
