Installation of beam lights on bumper

Hello everybody,

I have bought myself an set of beamlights for installation on the front bumper.

Reading the instructions it says I have to take off the front bumper Shocked

Is there a threat on how to do this or is there an easier way to install them ??

Thanks in advance for your thoughts / tips / help

Have a look at this it shows front bumper removal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o_lwhNRInY Thumbs Up

Is it the front fog lights you're trying to install or is it spot lights?

If you're fitting spot lights, try this thread, no need to remove the front bumper: http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic87592.html Mods:

Thank you for your advice.

I indeed plan to fit spot lights and have the Original fittings which need removal of the bumper.

I will study the alternative bracket.

Do you have spots mounted? If so, can you do me one more favor and measure the hart to hart distance between the spots ?? Thanks again

The centres of the LR spotlight fitting kit is 480mm.

There is a template in the fitting kit to mark out the positions to drill for fitting the supports and brackets.

I thought that may have been the problem.
Is everything else there?

As you can see in that photo I don't have the Land Rover lamps and don't have the full fitting kit.

I fitted those lamps direct into the top of the pillar part of the LR kit. And the centres are of the pillars, I'm sure you can work out from that where all the other holes go.
