Upgrading the disco

Creatures of the night!

Pardon the lack of Grill, I had it out to replace the headlights.

When I got my disco, it looked pretty good for a 10 year old truck. The paint shone, the lights were clear, and everything worked. It did not take long for the paint to get weird on the hood (it is aluminum) and the headlights to get cloudy. The kits to repolish the lights only prolonged the agony, so I found myself replacing them with a set from Europe.

While technically not legal here in the US due to clear parking light, the light out of these was an amazing upgrade. Where the old lights threw light everywhere, these lights put it all down on the road with a distinct cut off line much like the projector lamps on new cars today. They also look good being completely clear and without hazing. If you decide to get a set, remember that Discoverys are English and lights from there will be Right Hand Drive, you need to get Left Hand Drive lights from the rest of Europe. Mine came from Germany

    I brought home my Disco over 4 years ago when I bought my SeaSprite 23. I needed a vehicle that was not a pickup for both towing and daily driving duties. The fact that I did not want an American SUV led me to either a BMW X5 or a Land Rover. I could not afford the 5er, so this lovely red Disco it was.
