A few things for you Ryan/tktcolr:
1. Gay porn is only funny when you're into it, I guess. Because I'm not. And it wasn't funny.
2. Here's a little bit of advice for you. I'll leave it to you to figure out how to apply it. Or what it means. Sometimes a sniper rifle is a better weapon than a shotgun, or in your case maybe a dumptruck load of shit, driven by a 6 year old on a speedball. Just something to contemplate.
3. I initially thought your conversion was kind of cool in a "not for me" sort of way. Especially since you actually did it instead of talking about it. If you'd either been a) around the board long enough or b) cool-headed enough to not freak out, you might have realized that you'd basically done the discoweb equivalent of putting a huge "I'M A FRIGGIN' RETARD" sign on your front yard. Now putting the sign there doesn't MAKE you a retard, but your responses have so far confirmed what most of us have suspected... So calm down, hang out maybe think of Discoweb as a place where you can CONTRIBUTE (in a positive way), not just a place with knowledgeable people who will answer YOUR questions.
4. In general, people on this board are off-roaders or at least pretend they are. If you ask "poseur" questions like this, expect some needling. That's part of the board, and maybe expect it when you post asking how to lower your truck to make your new 24" rims look more dope, d00d. IMHO '03 lights are less poseur than a lifted truck (Ford OR Rover) that never goes off-road, FWIW.

WHAT? Man, you're on a wrong planet.
So the only places you know of in California to go off road are Glamis or Pismo?

What if the newer style works substantially better? What if they're more reliable? Easier to maintain/repair? What if they look better than the old ones? What if the bulbs are cheaper/easier to find? What if he really needed to replace them and the old style wasn't available or as cheap? And how do you know it's just for shits & grins? Maybe it was for some of these reasons...utahdog2003 said:
Those are the reasons that I put newer-style headlights on MY truck.
Just because YOU can't think of a good reason for a mod, that doesn't mean there ISN'T a good reason for it. And even if a reason isn't good enough for YOU to do it, that doesn't make it invalid for anyone ELSE to.

I love this forum
The way you guys can rip at each other cracks me up. Some of the comments just caused me to have soda spraying from my nose. Sures cheers up my mundane cubical life, sigh...
On the serious side it really is a great source for info. Some very knowledgble people here.
As far as headlights go, I do like the component look of the newer lights but, I would say that unless they really do it for ya, it's proably waste of money and a poser thing, but hey I don't own a rover to save money in the first place. I own one because I like it and it makes me happy. So whatever floats your boat!
Why the hell DID the brits make the sucker run on Premium Unleaded instead of 87? That has always bugged me especially since as a safari/trek type vehicle which has to operate in the shittiest and harshest envioronments where chances are that crappy gas is what would be most abundant. I mean it's not like the 4.0 V-8 is really that souped up, it only puts out 180HP or so. hmmmm
Anyone have a good answer?

Dang- how do I mod some 03 lights onto my 04?
The new lights are nice and all, but my D1 has some PIAA bulbs in it and it seems just as good as the 04 in the dark.
If the 04 roof bars fit the older DII's (and their bars fit the 04) I'd happily trade. Those huge 04 bars suck- no aftermarket stuff will fit on them.

So,
Are the newer sytle of lights any better than the factory Disco II lights? They give it a newer look and I assume they are plastic lenses. They might be less prone to chipping or breaking then the standard glass ones. If they provide more light output or coverage then it would be worth doing IMO.

Hehe, good thread, I think when I get bored at work tomorrow I will have to go through the archives and look for some more gems like this...
I just hope I never end up on the bad end of one of these things, I need to stop being such a newbie!
