I’m still torn as to whether I prefer the before or after. I think if I could change to the D4 LED lights I would but just can’t decide if I prefer the ‘De-Tango’ or original.2005 Disco3 HSE Auto 😁

I think it depends on the car. With the grey body colour and black detail, and swapping out the front grill the newer look lights after de tango match in nicely (I think) and took a few years off her age but it’s definitely down to personal choice.

I love it, but too much work for the benefit. Put the entire unit in the oven is beyond what id like to do. But i would probably buy one.

You can do the split using a hot air gun on low heat, that’s how I did mine, I felt the change made the car look newerIf it ain't broke... Take it apart anyway, how else you gonna find out how it works
