VLand Headlights - Before we take the plunge......

[BillNick]

The guy in that video fitted them to an ISF which comes with HIDs as standard so....

[NothernDan]

Hmmm.... They look better in the flesh as it were. Still undecided but this pushes me closer to liking them.

I've seen some owners put body coloured eyelids on the headlights to get over the issue of the blank space on the top of the headlights.

Some more footage of his isf as he sells it.

The car looks stunning in the video, but the colour change has been very poorly done. The slam panel and behind the front bumper are still blue, and close up, there's plenty of orange peel. I'd run away from that.

I'm sure it's a wrap. 

In fact yes it is.

Yep, the “orange peel” on this is where from where he has had to heat the wrap to get it to contour into the car. It’s actually very well done.

Check his entire YouTube channel. The car was rose gold at one pint, also a wrap. A very useful channel as he has done most popular mods and repairs and videos the lot for our viewing pleasure.

Agree.  Really good channel for all the stuff he has tried.

Also worth it for the emotion he showed when it finally went.  He has gone through a journey with that motor.

Can't say I'm a fan of the headlights their almost "there" but still got too much cheap after market look in my opinion a bit max powerish

I just received my Vland LED headlights this week, after having installed the Vland LED taillights about 2 weeks ago.

No question, these look much better IRL than many of the images suggest.

I will be installing these in the next couple of weeks when I'm on leave. 

 

 

[BillNick]

Thanks for posting those pics...they do look the part.

I am mostly concerned with the night time output so would be great if you could add some pics of that once you are rolling.

[LEXUS-4-LIFE]

Yeah, will do.

The halogen on all 3 of the is220d I've owned have been awful, so hopefully these LED units will be a big improvement.

Great, it'll be good to see someone on here with them. Where did you purchase from if you don't mind me asking?

Oh there is no doubt they will be a lot better than your halogen's, however I am considering them to replace stock HIDs so......that's why I am reluctant.

They def, look the part.

[LEXUS-4-LIFE]

@d3ron ebay specials 😉

£450 for the headlight.

Taillights £220

 

@Billnick some folks have said that they aren't quite as bright as their hids but not far off.

I haven't seen any comparison vids on the two either.

[ISF V8 JAY]

Is250 with both front and rears

 

dont look to bad in my opinion

[LEXUS-4-LIFE]

^ Yeah nice, seen this one on auto trader a few weeks back when looking for my SE-i.

[BillNick]

Ah they look so much better than the all chrome OEM

Just held back by losing out on my OEM HIDs which are really really good 😞

[d3ron]

Anyone know the current prices?

[BillNick]

Best part of £500 I think

[LEXUS-4-LIFE]

Vland headlights currently going anything from £509 upwards,

Vland taillights about £239 upwards.

Got both of mine slightly cheaper by making offers as posted earlier in the thread. 

 

[LEXUS-4-LIFE]

Guys, I finally got around to installing the Vland LED headlghts on my car. The install was fairly straightforward except I can't seem to get the DRLs to function. 

Am I missing something or do I have faulty units as everything is connected and wired up as per instructions.

Only exception is that I didn't have a 10amp fuse to swap out as in the picture provided by Vland as the circled fuse slot in my car was already empty.

Pictures to follow shortly. 

[NothernDan]

Sounds like your follow me home lights had already been disabled. Get a 10 amp fuse and stick it in that slot to see what happens. 

[LEXUS-4-LIFE]

@NothernDan Will do, oh well more tinkering for me tomorrow.

Here are a few piccys of the install, including new registration mark.

Will take some with the lights turned on next time, hopefully once I get the drls working.....
