I was curious if anyone has tried adding the reverse/parking sensors that come on the HSE to their S or SE disco???

Ayone know about the aftermarket kits for the same thing??

Also - anyone add some hella lights but use a nice OEM switch in one of the blank spots where the other fog light switches are??

I am a new owner of an 03 Disco SE7 - so i apologize if its an easy question....

thanks

-Mark

Parking sensors? We don't need no stinkin' sensors, we park by ear... :-)

Factory switch for extra lights? Sure, I have done that, as has many others, see diagrams here:

If you really insist on a HSE type rear bumper, I suggest buying one from someone wanting to upgrade to a steel rear bumper, plus the blank spot you're talking about is for the parking sensor on/off switch on the HSE model.
Hella light switch would be better on the rightside where the emergency, HDC, etc switches are located.
Anyway, sooner or later the rear plastic bumper will be damaged while off-roading, so why add backup sensors? Check with me in a year or so, I'll probably want a steel bumper by then. ;)

wow thanks- you guys get back fast

thanks- i will look into the lights for sure- i just like to keep the oem look going- i haven't really seen the hella switches- just liked the idea of having another OEM light switch for auxillary lights
