Did you know that Xenon light bulbs wear out over time? We replaced the bulbs on our LR3 and the difference is significant.
Thanks for watching,

Vera’s use of emojis when Christian is explaining something technical cracks me up into laughter every time, it’s so entertaining 👌
You two are nuts love it !
That was an enlightening anniversary! You guys are amazing.
Amazing and purely scientific as usual . Thank you guys !!!
Glad to see that your relationship still has plenty of spark in it and Vera had a lovely glow about her, not sure if that was the new lights or the drink 🤣🤣🥂
😃👍 Both probably🙋♀️ Vera
A Bong on starting is a sure sign the battery is getting weak. Usually you might see Special Programs Disabled message also. For me when this happens the battery will soon fail. Thanks for great videos.
This is maybe the consequence of the Smoke leak detector ! Using your battery to heat a wire to burn oil to generate smoke may have taken its toll.
We have checked that. Before we posted that question here in this video, we have taken the car of course apart. Christian has not left anything untried. There are some combinations when the bing does not come, but they are not 100% repeatable. And, would you believe, one scenario is that the car is parked uphill in our driveway, rather than downhill. 😅🙋♀️ Vera
Great video! Using the camera overexposure to indicate the light intensity difference is brilliantly objective. Wow.
An update you two…my LR3 (4.4 V8) is at about 440K km. My left low HID went out yesterday between Montreal and Ottawa. It is original. The engine and transmission are fine….went through serious AC and brake line replacement (chassis lift, etc) during pandemic in fall 2021. Have rust showing on body incl corrosion of aluminum…ride is still the best!
Haven’t seen a better alternative replacement vs keeping this one running…
had to give up a 2021 V70 with 330k a couple weeks ago (to Kidney Foundation)…had too many issues and baggage ;(
Update: my ‘05 made it to 453K km…front flex brake line failed, other is waiting to go…they found 65mm hole in frame, shifter bushing at transmission is seized, etc. we can’t rationalize spending more on it I’m afraid. :(
Thank you to both of you..
Before replacing mine I watched your video ... Thanks !!!
Fantastic vlog, love your chemistry and the humor and of course the new halogen bulbs!
Xenon of course. 😃 I still cannot believe how many times he said it wrong 😅🙋♀️Vera
Such a bright, xenon filled episode!
Congratulations Vera on 64days of driving your new car!!! Great video!
My Toyota has Hella H4 conversion sealed beams -- made in Germany. I feel an affinity for this very informative comparison.
OMG, my 2003 Freelander had H4. 🙋♀️
You’re such a romantic Christian! 😉😀🥰
Good Lord how do people dislike these two hilarious people 🤣😂😆 love it!!!
This is good I want to replace my bulbs in my 13' l320 sport still good but could be better. Excellent as always . You both are the best
Excellent video, very helpful thanks
What a couple, one complements the other. Also, Christian and Vera, how nice to see you two enjoying yourselves 😄
😃 Thank you 🙋♀️Vera
My first DSLR was a Canon 20D, great camera, and great channel :)
Christian and Vera fantastic entertainment us Brits just love it )))🇬🇧
Thank you 😃👊🙋♀️ Vera
Those are the exact same bulbs I installed in mine. I've been happy with the performance 👍
Good video Christian and Vera.
My wife and I really enjoy watching your videos. Keep it up!
Thank you 😃🙋♀️ Vera
I missed you guys last week for sure, I really like your content and Vera your hair looks great. Looking forward to the engine comparison from the D3/D4
Thank you, sometimes it is too much to shoot and edit a meaningful video and handling Christians work schedule. But we always try our best. 🙋♀️ Vera
Christian.
Christian.
Brilliant idea. I was going to buy some chequerplate
for my car. However, I might wait until my wife's birthday.
You may as well buy a self assembly Dog House...... 😉
I think Vera's last comment is a very telling one, 'I miss that Freelander'. I own a Freelander 2 and love it. With it's 4 cylinder motor (TD4 or Si4) it's so much simpler to work on. Every video I watch you guys working on that complicated V6 where you can't even get your hand in to change anything, I'm just glad I got the Freelander. Love your channel though. Keep it coming. Cheers from Perth (Aust)
😃👍 The thing is that the Freelander is almost as expensive to drive, here in Germany, with insurance, tax and diesel consumption as our Discovery 3. That is one of the reasons why we sold it. 🙋♀️ Vera
👌👌👌👍.......... my old disco 3 did the single bling on start up Vera....I think it's just the cars way of saying, system check complete.
Yes we think so too. And we of course have taken the car apart and did a lot of research. It's just so hard to believe that all systems are functioning correctly on a Disco 3. 😅👍🙋♀️ Vera
Great program..
Fabulous, thank you
Wow, the clip at the end of the video (with the Porsches)!! Your town is SO beautiful!
I visit Augsburg sometimes for manufacturers training (I'm English) and I thought that was pretty, but your town look REALLY nice. 🙌
Stunning village 😍
Very stylish Christian, You just upped the expectations of women around the world. No longer can we buy them a shovel or wheel barrow, now it is car parts.
I did not expect such a major difference in the light spread or colour - I don't know if the colour rendering would have been that different if you had used OEM Zenon elements, though I imagine it would have been brighter than the 15 year old ones. The new ones you used were different to the OEM. My Zenon headlights are still quite blueish/white like your new ones, however where I live (just out of Brisbane, Australia), my lights only come on when the sensor determine it should come on.
Thanks Christian for the idea for my wife’s anniversary gift the lights are a great idea better than the vacuum cleaner I bought last year ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
😅👍 🙋♀️ Vera
Brilliant, “do you want to try them on?” - Not the sort of question you would attribute to as an anniversary present to a beautiful woman - my wife would have throw that light bulb at me with great force
😅👍 In his defense, I was complaining that the lights were really bad. I was driving for a longer time in the dark on the Autobahn. That's when I noticed that we need to change them. 🙋♀️ Vera
One of my bulbs went out today. When I went to replace them there was two different kinds. One made in China and the other in Germany. Guess which one was dead? 🤣
I said to myself, I bet my German friends would think that was funny. Glad that this old video popped up on my feed to remind me!
Evening Christian. You romantic with Vera is so lovely to see 🤣 Very interesting test with the lights keeping Vera safe I’m the dark 👍🏻 For Vera 😍 x
Another informative video. My D3 doesn't do the single "bong" but it would be interesting to see Christian dismantle the whole car to find out why. Hilux lights are even worse btw. Thanks again. Cheers D
Another great video, Vera is so spoilt , love those vintage Porsches
Just re-watched this excellent video....
Very important point about changing light bulbs...
On a warm sunny day, no ptoblem. But, if there is any damp in the atmoshphere I would bring the headlight assembly inside the house and leave it for at least an hour to reach room temperature - then change the lamp.
This avoids any damp and condensation getting inside the lamp housing while it is unsealed.
On my old car I changed some bulbs on a cold and wet day and damp got inside and they then got condensation on the inside and steamed up a bit.
Bubbly drinks in the garage! Jill and I are inspired!
😅 Was a first time for us too. Makes it way more fun shooting a video that has to be shot in the dark anyways. 👍🙋♀️ Vera
"Romantic mechanic"? 😂😂👍
I was watching your channel for fun, but since the defender I ordered came with the wrong configuration and I refused it, considering another order would take 18 months, I will be going to see an LR4 for sale this Friday, so your channel will become a must as well.. :)
😅👍 That sucks, but I am happy you are going watch more of our videos now. 🙋♀️ Vera
When I first watch you several years ago, i did not like how you speak to vera. now you are more fun christian. Your youtoobs have come a long way, congratulations!! u2 are very fun to watch
Thanks 😃👍🙋♀️ Vera
Congratulations Vera on your 64 day anniversary! Congratulations Christian on finding the perfect gift! 😁
😅👍Next time I probably get new wiperblades 🙋♀️Vera
You guys are hilarious! Thanks for all the great content!
😅👍 Thank you 🙋♀️ Vera
For our Silver wedding anniversary I bought my Wife a Thermomix because it had silver-chromey shiney bits on it. (and I knew she wanted one)
Christian, I understand you..
;)
I want a Gravel bike, or a Kajak 😃🙋♀️ Vera
Confucius say: " candlelight dinner ok, but car parts on dinner table means no nookie for you."
😅👍We tick a little differently 🙋♀️Vera
Osram Xenarc CBI have been my go-to for my LR3, LR4 and RRS now. Definitely a great price-performance-value bulbs. 100Euro for a 2-pack. Once I bought a D2S from a LR dealer in a pinch before a long trip and they charged me almost $500 for it, quoted $300 for a yellowish aftermarket one, which did not match the OEM tinge. Osram CBI has that great, crisp, sharp white light which gives you a great visibility...
I also tried cheap Chinese bulbs in our LR4 for 28 Euro/pair and the difference is nearly not noticeable. Reason was that Osram almost doubled their price. Christian
‘Everything has to click on a Discovery’… even the drivers hips 😂
😅🙋♀️Vera
Happy anniversary :-) Very enlightening lol :-)
You don't need to register your car to travel on the road. Only register if you plan to use for comercial reasons like a taxi. ;) Big secret mostly everyone does not know. "Driver" is a commercial word. Same with "vehicle" otherwise is it just private property. :)
Anniversary Congratulations!
Good video. She says, "I'm already drunk", and he says, "Focus on the project".
U guys are the best!
😃👍🙋♀️ Vera
Hi Vera and Chris, trust you are well…our LR is close to 17 yrs on the road for us…just returned from Cape Breton a few days ago…393K on odometer. My left xenon is original, right was replaced 6 yrs or so ago. Corrosion makes slipping the head light assembly sliders up/down a real challenge/risk…worried too about brittle plastic .
Did I tell you about loss of air suspension at 130 kph on Trans Canada in Saskatchewan last October…and the 600km lift to LR dealer?
Enjoying your program!
😮😳, we are going to do a major overhaul of the engine this winter so it will also last hopefully 400000km. 👍🙋♀️ Vera
OMG, that was so dammed perfect.
I got to do this with my wife. Nice dinner in the garage.
Yes but don´t tell her who´s idea this was. Lol. Christian
Hi, I can never tell when you are serious or joking, I love your German ways, such a lovely couple. Viele Grüße aus England.
😅👍 Then we did a good job.🙋♀️ Vera
Christian and Vera another great video! keep them coming! have you thought about changing the sidelight bulbs in the discovery 3 to the same colour temperature as the main headlight bulbs they only cost around 10-15 euro to replace.
Maybe if Christian would still be driving the D3. But we have so many maintenance repairs coming up. That is where we have to invest the money. 👍🙋♀️Vera
Great video, very funny! Vera, the bing is a warning that the air temperature is below 3 Deg C warning you that bridges may be icy! I think, but what do I know I only have the LR Sport.
No, I know that bing of course, and here in Germany, it comes when the temperature is 4 degrees Celsius or below. That one is responsible for giving me a heart attack everyday come November. I am pretty sure that this temperature bing is responsible for lowering the life expectancy of Land Rover owners for at least 3 years. 😃👍🙋♀️ Vera
love yoir video,s i have six landrovers,3 defenders three disco,s i think i have a disco 3 comming soon.
You guys are adorable! Great content as always, thank you for the sticker and kind words as well! Cheers from Bucharest
👍😃 Glad the sticker has arrived.🙋♀️ Vera
oh my god so beautiful 😊
I never knew 12v bulbs could be so romantic ❤
Thanks
🤗Thank You🙏💪🙋♀️Vera
Just to Annoy(?) Christian.
At 6:35 and 6:42 you can see the position of the "difficult" light grey cover.
The label is "horizontal" when the light unit is in its fitted position and the tab on that cover is opposite the white electrical socket, pointing towards the centre of the car.
When you refitted the cover the label/ tab were at 45⁰.
Sealed?
awesome! btw do you have recommend spare part list of all those bulbs in the "light emitter box"
When i was selling these bulbs i would tell them: Don't touch the bulb with your fingers
And right there, on the parts counter, they would touch the bulbs 😞
We kept alcohol and paper towels under the counter for such occasions 😂
Love it 😂
I think the car bings as part of the systems check to make sure the buzzer sound is working?
Land rover love story ❤ most illuminating
😅👍🙋♀️ Vera
Christian is so romantic 😍Thanks for the vidéo 👏
Yeah only when a Land Rover is involved. 😃👍 We have been married for 22 years and not once did we celebrated that on our anniversary😅🙋♀️ Vera
😂
22 years old, congratulations 👏
I'm settled on the idea that bright xenon bulbs have speculative real world benefits but the down side of blinding glare for oncoming traffic is well proven.
Surely only for those people who fit HID bulbs into reflectors designed for halogen?
HID bulbs fitted into reflectors or projectors designed for HID bulbs have no issue, the light beam has a clearly defined cut-off pattern and do does not bleed our cause glare to oncoming vehicles.
@@VaderWhoop I don't think it is a case of badly fitted bulbs nor an issue with light stream glare. Its not as if the full beam is on and its blinding. The bright white light can be nauseating. If you ever travel on unlit dual carriage way or motorway the oncoming stream of traffic has you reaching for some yellow specs.
Very interesting about the lights. I also have the bing when I start mine too. Not sure why, I was going to plug the seatbelt in first to see if it stops. I could be a test bing.
I can have it start without that bing under these circumstances : 1. Car is parked uphill ( our driveway has a slope) 2. I do not push the clutch ( I always, always push down the clutch) and 3. When starting, I let it rest a couple of seconds on the first click when I turn the key ). But it is not repeatable 100% That is why we are not sure if its really a system check. A starting sequence should not be affecting the delicate Discovery system 😅 🙋♀️ Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian I always press the clutch down too before starting. I suspect it is a test bing but cannot think why.
Fantastic lovely couple and great videos any chance of showing how to change high-beam and fog-lights to LED so they all match
Well, the high beam are still very good, it's like driving during daytime. We might have to do the fog light come next TÜV. Then there will be a video. 🙋♀️ Vera
Excellent video as always. Vera's side lights look so yellow in comparison - had you thought about swapping out the filament lamps for the LED equivalent - brighter and a more white light. I did this on my vehicle and it was very much better.
I am sorry but I like the look of the Discovery 3 lights 😃👍. I am actually quite proud of driving the Disco 3 instead of the Disco 4. The side lights are not that important. I also do not want to put those headlights into the oven and remove the orange foil from the indicator lights. 🙋♀️
@@Vera_and_Christian I didn't mean to change the lights at all - just replace the bulb of the side lights with the LED equivalent (like you just did with the headlights). It would look exacltly the same, but the side lights would be whiter and brighter - cost would just be the cost of the LED lights, about €10 or so, I think. PowerfulUK also do the LED equivalents for the rear fog and reversing lights - excellent and much brighter (especially reversing) I think the full LED set for the rear is about €50.
Just realised you may have misunderstood ... By "side lights" I mean the small white lights next to the headlights (sometimes called "parking lights) the ones you had on at the start. Not the amber direction indicator lights - sorry.
I just got back from a 4.070 km road trip, and the first video I look at HAS TO BE ....LR TIME! Great video could you let me know the brand/make of the new Xenon bulbs I would like to install them too, Thanks for your help and I look forward to every Sunday!
Hello Dave, We put in the "Osram Cool Blue Intense Xenarc, Extra Blue , up to 6000K" 🙋♀️ Vera
I am now curious how you guys celebrated you anniversary in real 😃. Happy belated anniversary! I believe the "single bing" was in my case a heavy bag on the passenger seat. Essentially a "buckle up" warning.
No that is not it, it is different. And I never have my bag on the passenger seat because of that . We have never ever celebrated our wedding anniversary in 22 years. 😅🙋♀️Vera
this is your funniest video yet.. i think the champagne may be to blame
Wait, do we need to drink it also white we watch?
You can turn the headlights on with the keyfob.
My LR3 does the same “bing”. This seems normal to me as it has always done it.
I once tried a Ssangyoung Musso. This not only “bings” but plays a silly “bing-bang-bong” tune that drove me so nuts, that I have to return it early to the dealer which had let me try it it on demo!
My JCB Fastrac makes a similar “bing” to the LR3. But is courteous enough to also great me with a “hello’ on the dash and a “good-bye”when it is turn it off. That is only when I remember to wear my glasses and can actually read it!
My Range-Rover Sport makes no “bings’ unless there is an error. Which is usually because it cannot read the TPMS pressure on the spare wheel. Happily, it forgets this error most of the time, thank goodness! But, hey-ho, it is a Landrover and is only to be expected on all its product.
😅👍 The thing is that I did not drive the Disco 3 regularly before, I had my Freelander. It was Christians daily driver, and he does not remember that bing 🙄. So I was wondering if it something I am doing wrong or maybe right 😅🙋♀️Vera
you are driving my discovery for 64 days 😂😂😂
Seriously, my wife is from France and for our first Christmas (1982) she gave me a set of Cibie European spec headlights for our Volvo 242 GLT. Canada had North American sealed beam which I had hinted needed to go.
😃👍 She is great🙋♀️Vera
Yay! ❤
Yes, you are first !
Hi guys, I think Vera is impressed with her anniversary pressie 🥂🥂🥂 ...and this like all others I've watched are entertaining and full of information 🤘🤘🤘 ...I have a question, the hid set up, we have 2 Discovery's 2007 HSE D3 and 2011 GS D4 both of which I want to fit Hid ballasts, I have done some research, but it's blown my head apart of which ones to get! ...can I ask what units you have please, from the video it looked like the Panasonic? ...Regards Norm's
We bought Osram. We also used cheap Chinese before and the worked well for a third of the price. Make sure to check the manual for the type. LR3 is different from LR4. Christian
Crack up, love it!
Hey Christian!
You REALLY know how to impress a girl! 😁👍👍 /s
(Mind you she married you, so there must be something else!!? 🤔😉)
Wow, 1 glass champagne and she feels intoxicated, nice cheap date!!
As "Joseph P" commented, mine would have physically inserted them - anniversary presents aren't practical, apparently!
😅🙋♀️Vera
Wine by landrover light...guy knows what women want🤣
Hi guys! Did you look at the Osram Night breaker Xenon option?
Hey guys, great vids, find myself watching them a lot lately having bought a discovery 4.
What model / version of icarsoft do
You have / use? V2 v3? Do
You recommend it? Cheers.
Hello Steven, we have the icarsoft OBD ii 930, which we bought a long time ago, before 2016. And are really happy with it, everything we need we can do with do with that tool. Now, like you wrote, there are updated versions. Their webside has a good description of those models, but we have not looked indepth at those. Now I have to say that we recently, like 2 weeks ago, purchased a used GAP tool. We also had to buy a transfer of ownership in addition. But we haven't had any time to deal with it yet. There will be more to come down the road. But I have to say, we would have never purchased a new one, costing at least 600 € for us in Germany. We paid in all 300€. 🙋♀️ Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian thanks Vera appreciate you guys taking the time to reply. If the icarsoft systems come with your recommendations and are suitable for the job, ill get one. Keep the videos coming :-)
Steve
Love your work. After all that bright light, the present was given later, in the dark. 🥰😍😘😇😊
👍🏻🙏🏽😷🦘
Is there an easy way to switch the xenon from left hand drive to right hand drive? To avoid having to put stickers on the lenses.
On my old mondeo there was a lever that moved the beam Cut off shutter.
Yes, the headlights are switchable over a little tab on each light. Christian
Those new candles make a difference. Engine rebuild coming up for the 25th wedding anniversary
No, he is actually planing that for my 100 day anniversary 🙄😳😂🙋♀️ Vera
Very funny video guys , osram really are the best value for money bulbs , i currently have Lunex 4300k d2s in my D3 ( £23 on ebay ).
Vera the bong on ignition is just to tell you that the car is ok to start now ( pre ignition checks completed ) .
I have read that too, but it's just hard to believe 😅👍🙋♀️ Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian I know what you mean, my heart stops every time i hear that "BONG" , i wonder if there is a way to turn it off the bong with the Gap iid tool
@@graemevass745 😃👍 We have just purchased a used GAP tool, maybe we'll a solution. 🙋♀️ Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian Everybody on Discovery 3 forums rave about gap tools , i think i'll save up for one over the winter .
Also i just used a £10 airbed inflator , a "special plug" & a cigar as an air leak tester .
@@graemevass745 We were offered a used one for a reasonable price, never ever would we have bought a new GAP tool. 🙋♀️
🙏🙏
The Xenon bulbs don't have self adjusters on them? I thought that all Xenon's had to have them for safety purposes. Our Volvo has the automatic up/down feature when you start the car to adjust for proper alignment. So you sold both the Freelander and the Challenger. Any hints as to what the new vehicle will be?
Yes, the headlights are self adjusting. Christian
How romantic 🥰😀
Hey when did you get your freelancer 2? I've got one also ..
Oh, we got it in 2010, but sold it 64 days ago 😥. But I had a Freelander 1. 🙋♀️ Vera
