Can you please let me know if these non-logo lights do fit the D3 doors Smile

Presume they are a lot brighter than the standard ones?

It's still not a D4 even with all the bits, or are you trying to fool the general public who probably couldn't tell if it's a Discovery or a Range Rover, or a Jeep! Whistle

Surely anybody facelifting an older model is trying to "Fool" the public into think he/her has a newer car?

I have a facelift (bought already facelifted) but did not add the 4 just left it as Discovery. My choice.

I guess some do it as they prefer the look but its each their own as no harm done IMHO.

Of course it's a personal choice. Thumbs Up

I can imagine some people modify their cars with later spec parts because they think the styling has improved with successive models.

I personally like my D3 as it came out of the factory, but I have chosen to have HSE wheels, because I think they are better than the SE wheels. Not because I'm pretending it's an HSE.

I am still undecided about the 4 number replacing the 3 as I agree it is pretending it's something it isn't. I might just remove the number and let people decide for themselves what it is.

Me too! I have a D4 insert, just waiting to find a spare D3 grille to cut up. I dont want to cut the original one, as I might want to put it back.


Mark R, If I was inclined to change the badges I'd probably leave the 3 off. Thumbs Up

Looks great.
Are they the same sized units for front and back doors?
