Do the door cards come off without all the clips breaking or do i need to order replacements at the same time to save doing the job twice. Had mood lighting on my range rover and it was a gimmick but now i don't have it i miss it

2016 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 HSE Lux Auto Santorini Black

Great and cheap mod. Just get the stuff from Dan at Duckworths. The door cards do not need to be completely released but they do need supporting with a knee. The wiring trail is intuitive with a couple of bend-over clips to hold the loom and the dummy plug of course which has already been mentioned.
Excellent result. (Unless of course they came standard for you in which case you probably want rid of them).

Paul, the clips do not break off .. I've removed the door cards once already for another mod I did and as jonno1 mentioned, some support may be needed to avoid too much stress on the connected wires when the card (or your hands) fails to resist gravity

ok thanks, am more used to defenders with the crappy door card clips that explode if you try and remove them. Think I'm am going to order a set of leds and get this mod done

i am assuming my 2010my has the wiring already in the door?

Just a word of caution, don't apply the same force as you would with a Defender

I wouldn't know, but I assume the wiring is present if the tiny holes in the area of the opener and grab handle

Yep, the small holes are there. Guess i should pull a door card off and check for the wiring before ordering anything

2010 Discovery 4 3.0 TDV6 HSE Auto Santorini Black

Guys. Could one of you with this in place already take a close up pic for me of what the LEDs look like OFF in the daylight (are bulbs visible).

I have an HSE and assumed mine had failed however having had a good look they seem to be missing and I just have empty holes. These should have been standard so puzzled.

Be much appreciated.
