Why haven't you done a little reading, there are hundreds of posts stating it will.
"SERIOUSLY" do some searching/reading before asking such a common question.

For about $70 you can have 2 brand new DI wiper arms, takes about 10min to install and then you can buy your wiper blades anywhere, even the gas station.

I was already doin my research on that, I was posting the question also as a comment on how most auto part store don't have a clue or know anything about any land rover. Trust me if there's something I done since I bought this truck is research. I rebuilt this whole engine my self, reaseaching all the Buick and gm parts that fit. And not having to spend huge amounts in something that gm design.
Thanks for the answer thou

When you do buy, New, wiper arms then make sure to look at the new generation 21" wiper blades, I have run the Icon's for over a year thru Colorado's weather with good results.

You will need a left and right wiper arm.
If you order them today and select FedEx Home Delivery you should have them in 3 days.
In the mean time you can go to Wal-Mart or where ever and buy the wiper blades of your choice.
I personally hate the "euro" blade's, they are overpriced for what they do.
I use winter blades for winter and regular ones for the summer.
Winter blades are pure rubber and will melt to the windshield in the summer, summer blades are made of vinyl and get hard in the cold.
The "euro" blades are a mix of rubber and vinyl and are like a all season tire, they work so-so in all weather but not great in any weather.

EDIT: Consumer Reports did a extensive article on wiper blades, you are supposed to change them every 6 months no matter what and use the correct type of blade material for your type of weather.
