Move towing electrics

I have the twin towing electrics concealed in the bumper but as I tow almost every day it means I have to leave the bumper cover off which looks crap. I noticed a D4 yesterday with just the single black socket mounted below the bumper beside the tow bar, on a brand new looking HSE with an elderly gentleman driving, so I assume this was done by LR themselves? Is there a little bracket available that I could get to move mine or is this something I would need to make up myself?

I've this done on my D3, as like you I didnt want to have the cover off the bumper all the time.

A pic would be great! I am changing to multi height tow bar as well so hopefully I can get a bracket that works along with that

Sorry for bringing up an old topic but just an idea... I have bought a new small plastic cover where the standard electrics are, and cut out a square hole in it and the lighting socket adapter sticks through it. So you don't have to pay for the alternative electrics to be enabled. And it still looks very presentable if cut out well. I used a drill and a Dremel.
