Land Rover Discovery series I
Hello from York, PA

Hello from York, PA. I'm a total MB newbie. I've just purchased a 2007 GL320 dark blue on black. I have a steep learning curve ahead. I try to do all my own maintenance to a point.
I'm no stranger to saving money this way as one of my previous vehicles was a 2004 Discovery.

I'm rambling a bit, yesterday's buying experience has me worn out along with the heat.

Thanks for having me.

Welcome to MBWorld. After owning that Land Rover, the GL should be no sweat! Let us know if we can help you out modernizing her with new whiter lighting

Interior or exterior? The main headlights are the xenon already I believe. It's quite a step up from the '08 Odyssey I traded in.

Both

For exterior, your parking lights, front signals, rear signals, sidemarkers, license plates, and reverse lights can be swapped out for LEDs. Fog lights can be swapped out for LEDs or HIDs as well.

For interior, your courtesy lights and map lights can also be swapped.

OEM halogen bulbs are this sickly yellow/orange-ish color. A refresh would convert them to bright white that you see in new modern vehicles on the road today. Feel free to shoot us a PM for more details. We can build you a custom discounted package for what you want.
