Newbie here looking for advice please
 
Hi All ,Newbie here and looking for some advice please ,had a E53 before but went to Range rover and now back to a e70 :),I have a few questions so would be very grateful for any hints /tips ,Unfortunately I'm currently offshore overseas ( but live in UK) with very slow internet access so restricts my ability to troll through the forum ,

1) I have a 3.0D SE 2007 and would like to update this to the 2011 facelift model ,I know I need new wings /bumper/rear lights/rear bumper/arch extensions etc but can i retain the 2007 headlights/ bonnet ? what else is needed?

2)Does anyone have a list of the types of all the interior/exterior lights /door handle lights etc for converting to LED lighting ? My car has standard halogen headlights and as far as I'm aware these have different bulb fitments than the H8 type?

3) I had 285/35/22 extra load wheels on my range rover sport are these suited to the X5 ( I've read yes but thought id ask opinions on here ) I assume id def need the arch extensions and do you recommend running these wheels with or with out spacers to get the staggered look or is it really a waste of time with the width of these wheels anyway.

4) lastly with my previous bmw's ( e60 and e53 ) I used inpas and other stuff ( cant remember as it was about 5 yrs ago) for coding and fault finding what do you people recommend now ?

Sorry for the long winded post peeps but the internet is slower than a slow thing down here so thought id get it all in in on one post ,thanks in advance .

I'll try to answer:
1) yes
2) most are T10, others are easier to pull out, measure and locate an LED replacement. Expect occasional random flickering.
3) dunno, but 22" will definitely look donk, esp. without arches. But beauty is in the eye... so...
4) same, although your old cable may not work.

Question to you, if I may...
I actually went with RRS from 06 X5, half a year or so ago, why did you opt out for X5 rather than continue with LRs?
Thanks.
