Discovery Bling
jnoshea:
How much modification do you think it'll take to fit the TD5 lights?
petergalileo:
Well I am not talking about the 2003 on lights but to fit the older ones
You need to mount the adjusters as they are in a slightly different place, you also need to remove the small panel which sits in the way of the bulb holder on the TD5 indicator. In additiion some of the wing needs to be cut away as the TD5 indicator is rectangular and doesnt have a corner cut out like the disco one surround or the 300 indicator.
As for wiring, its the same but you need an extra 2 wires from the side light on the headlamp to the side light in the indicator.
Not a lot really.
Damonski:
Or you could fit 300 series headlights or the early td5 headlights without any choppin about :)
petergalileo:
Yes, you can fit 300 headlamps and indicators to a disco 1 without much difficulty. You could fit TD5 headlamps with 300 indicators to a disco 1 without too much hastle either.
Dont do what I did though and buy a pair of Discovery 3 headlamps in the hope to bodge them on the front of a Disco 1 as it is physically impossible. They are absolutely gigantic I worked out you would need to remove the entire headlamp mounting system, move both battery trays, modify the wings grill and bonnet.
Now I have said that tho, some smartass will provide a picture of "one they did earlyer" I bet !

Mines a 1995 300Tdi and basically I would like the headlamps to look like this...
...if you're fitting early TD5 lights and the kit this picture was taken from can convert early TD5 to 2003 spec then it should be possible?
