Before you start, its probably best to obtain all the likely parts and tools you will need. A suggested list is below. To install the front lights took me 2 days or about 11 hours in total. The back lights took 1 hour (easy once you have done the front!)
PARTS
Cable connectors - suggest 15AMP male & female spade type connectors perhaps 30 - 40 of each.
Insulating tape.
Selection of rubber grommets.
‘Piggy back’ style connectors for use with spade connectors.
Ring connectors.
Accessory relay. I bought one from a Motor Factor for £3.99 - 20 amp capacity.
Length of wire.
Landrover plastic finishing strips that fit below the headlights (Part numbers DHH 000120 LML & - DHH 000130 LML) These cost £16 (+vat) each from a Landrover dealer and have a moulded in curve to suit the new light. It is probably possible to modify the existing strips but fixing to the car could be a problem as the old strip locates into a cut-out in the grille, the new strip clips to the headlight.
Paint for headlamp strips - Landrover do a spray set comprising paint + lacquer for around £7.
Selection on nuts, bolts and screws.
TOOLS
In addition to the usual screwdrivers, pliers etc -
Wire stripper/crimper for spade connections.
Electrical test meter that can display voltage.
Selection of steel drill bits.
Spot weld remover drill bit (optional)
Metal cutting snips or other suitable cutting tool.
Welding equipment (optional)
