Having recently been out in a G4 vehicle, I was impressed with the dual-beam lighting fitted to the roof rack, controlled from a neat dash-mounted switching system.
Does anyone know who makes them and if they are available?
By the colour and switch-on they might be HID type??

JimWelcome to the forum !! I dont know by memory the answer, but when I get home later tonight can check and reply back (I'm sure someone from the club will give you the answer before that - Adrian, Martin?? :w00t:) Also you might wan to run a search (top of the screen tab) with "light switch", I think there were a couple of threads on the subject.

Jim the front roof lights on all the G4 vehicles are SB-160's made by WARN. For reasons best known to LR the 2006 vehicles did not have the Dip option fitted even though the lighting has it.
They're good lights but very expensive. Other off-roaders don't rate them. If you're re-building or recreating a G4 then they're the only suitable choice but if not there are other options.

Thanks for the info.
Not doing anything G4-related, just liked them whilst driving a G4 so investigating what they are.
But £400 is way OTT for what they are, so I'll stick to a pair of Hella 3000's!!!

Darren,When you refer to the "Dip" option, can you explain what that means? For my Disco II, the Warn lights seem to be controlled from a modified Cruise Control switch that has had the Cruise Control face plate exchanged for the auxiliary #2 driving light face plate. The cruise control switch is an on / off switch versus a momentary switch. Also, the Warn lights have a high / low beam option. My Disco always powers the lights in High beam mode. Thanks in advance.

Hi Dan,The "Dip Beam" is a local expression for "Low Beam" as against "Main Beam" or "High Beam". Gert (flying dutchman), the clubs new Technical Officer, can get club members a discount on Warn product (or any G4 or Land Rover stuff for that matter) should any one want to purchase stuff. Cheers Jim

Jim,Thanks. Hopefully I will be able to join in the next few days. The G4 lights (Warn SDB 160) are available here in the US for around $313 USD. May I ask what they are going for in the UK? Dan

Hi Dan,I hope you can join us soon. Warn stuff is desperately expensive over here, I know some people have looked at importing direct from a US stockist, but it will catch a large lump of duty on entering the UK, plus 17.5% vat as well on top! I cant recall the UK Warn price but I think it is over double the price you were quoting! Jim

Jim,Maybe we can develop a process with a lower landed cost. Dan

danwe are looking at around US$720 for a pair over her in the UK naughty way around the import is to hide away certain items, however customs officers are not unknown to check every package or container that lands on these shores, quite a risk, best way is to get origional cost down regards martin
