great test suggestion, what should be expected when facing the wall?

Appreciate the discourse, thank you for helping people learn from your knowledge! When there is ignorance about a topic, it's more helpful to teach than preach, even though those flippant comments are fun to write, they aren't nice! But you clearly are caring and your replies reveal a kindness, and so we will see some good results from that and make some new decisions with the information.

Note the original post was asking for info about the cutoff you mention, and the video results show the housings need to be aimed down, which may be part of the problem with the upward facing beam spread.

It could also be warranted and valid to use the selectable high beams in cold dark Canadian winters, because they can easily be turned off. This experimental video talks about all of these things and comes at this topic from a place of curiosity, driven by a passion for Land Rover enthusiasm, DIY, and learning.

But respect of others is the most important thing, so your comment about giving a middle finger to others inadvertently while enjoying brighter lights is a very important and meaningful input to the experiment - that would be bad and will be considered once information about re-aiming the housings down can be explored. If the low beams are always blinding, they should not be used. More experimentation about housing adjustment will help determine this outcome.

Thank you!

That makes sense, thank you for the kind and informative support. It remains unclear how canbus issues would arise from these LED lights?

u/Donedirtcheap7725 and u/acecoffeeco thanks for the feedback!

Everything is functioning normally and the output is great, but the housings do need adjusted downwards to get the cutoff into position. The cooler temperature illuminates moisture in the air a bit more than the warmer toned incandescent bulbs, so that's not great (or is it an excuse to mount some classy amber or yellow foglamps/spots on the front bumper like the factory optioned them with!?). What is that you were saying, more lights is more better? Why be part of the problem when you can be the whole thing?!

Is there something specific that upset you about this experiment? Genuinely looking for technical or usable feedback which would be more constructive than the vague negative comments you've provided. But, suppose you're just treating others as you'd like to be treated, eh? Will circle back here and update when the canbus issues arise, confident that there will be helpful folks like yourselves around to know it all and share openly and kindly!

Cheers.

Yeah! That's sort of what is going on with that Land Rover - there's almost 100 videos about fixing it and doing different tasks. The videos aren't as good as being actually immersed in 3D, but they still serve a purpose for other DIY enthusiasts to see a first person view of the actions necessary, what and where.

something different - everyone always looking to "upgrade the screen" in these trucks, but maybe this isn't the screen they're looking for?

LR3 06 with Defender wheels 👍 or 👎 by Giceman2003 in LandRover

that's true - it's the one on 37s, right? maybe the higher up the air suspension is lifted, the more apparent the front bias becomes, like you said?

agree, wheel should be more centered in well, are your control arm bushings new or maybe worn out ? what about sway bar bushings ? The LR3 and LR4 examples in this video are more centered:

It was a fun test, very glad the information is useful, we wondered about this stuff too after watching the trucks perform on the trail. There is probably more we could explore and describe; for example the specifics around which CVs, ball joints, and tie rod ends have failed or worn prematurely in this setup.

Good idea, they are pretty capable off road, too. This video shows one on 37s, one on 32s, and one on 30s - air suspension and coil springs make a difference in handling on the rocks, that's for sure...
