So I added the upgraded angel eyes drls...& going to add AFS Adaptive Eurospec lights
I had to buy the upgraded lights on ebay. Then my dealership had to code the lights to work with my lower grade spec. I found two lights for 300 each. The additional Eurospec ballasts were 150 each.
The difference between the USA NA high spec lights versus the Eurospec Adaptive AFS lights is pretty cool. I bought the Eurospec ballasts and I will need to swap them out and have them recoded again at the dealership but it would be pretty cool to have the only USA spec with cool Adaptive AFS headlights.

so I was browsing eBay and saw Partecha the headlights manufacturer selling headlights on eBay Slovakia and I bought two of them. What happened is I went to plug them in and only one would work. Partecha had sold me one USA NA spec ballast and one Eurospec ballast so I researched and found 1 more ballast of each. My dealership buddy got frustrated after spending hours trying to program them before we realized we had mis-matched ballasts!
so to answer your question the Eurospec AFS headlights are brighter and do really cool things. The headlight box minus the ballast is the same but the ballast make the cool stuff in the video link happen. I just have to swap out the ballast and go back in for a couple of hours of programming.
after the ordeal of no headlights, then one headlight then mismatched ballasts then troubleshooting the ordering two more ballasts one for USA and one more Eurospec AFS Im going to wait a little while before I upgrade.
I just didn’t like the standard low spec headlights that came from the factory, it has the boring non Angel eye drl that I absolutely love on most defenders and had to have that!
check out the video it explains everything. If you have the upgraded USA NA spec headlights with Angel eyes drls you can find the Eurospec AFS ballasts on eBay worldwide for anywhere from 100-200 usd dollars each. Then find a cool dealership who will help you program them. If you have a winch it’s a bit more work, but without the winch it’s easier to install by taking the whole headlight out. Don’t mess with the air box behind the headlights it’s very sensitive to fit and has weird rubber rings that get out of alignment on the driver’s side headlight. Pull the whole headlight from the front to get drivers side out, leave the air box alone. Passenger side is easy to swap the ballast with headlights kept in the car.

That’s fantastic! I’ve been meaning to do this. When I picked up my 110, the dealership only had one. It had all the options that I wanted including the color, except for the premium led. I asked them if it was possible to upgrade and they gave me a ridiculous quote.
$300 sounds great. Can you please share the seller info on eBay for the lights and the ballast. Thnx

prices are a little higher, AND you have to make sure you request the USA NA spec or the Eurospec AFS adaptive ballasts for both lights!
