Apparently (I say this because I wasn't the one driving ) a deer decided to head butt the drivers side headlight on the LR3 and the lens is broken, but the light still works. I'm having a helluva time finding a bi-adaptive xenon lamp assembly to replace it. Is it possible to either replace the lens or to swap the adaptive guts into a regular light?
Trying to keep the insurance comapny out of it, they totlaed my last vehicle over a deer strike, it's also got a bit of sheet metal damage right behind that light. One never knows where the line is.

 

Yes. You will have to carefully heat up the entire assembly to remove the lens. The new lenses can be bought from the UK. Switching the guts might be cheaper, but I can not say that it's possible. I would think it would be the same physical xenon housing use for adaptive and non-adaptive.

Fantastic - I had no idea this was an option - thanks for posting this
Mine look awful

 

Since you are in the USA you probably have Bi-Xenon but not Adaptive Bi-Xenon lights which may help you find a complete headlight if you want to go that route.

For those with just cloudy lenses I had really good luck with the Chemical Guys Headlight Restorer polishing compound. I used it with a 3" round heavy polishing pad on my drill.

 

Not adaptive? Every HSE I looked at had adaptive.

 

This is my second HSE, my past one that my friend has now and my current one don't have adaptive headlights. Neither one even has self leveling xenon headlights which I found surprising because my past vehicles with xenon lights had that. I'll try looking with my GAP tool to see for sure but I haven't noticed my headlights move when cornering. Looking at the FSM description of the headlights I would like to figure out how to get ROW cornering lights fitted and working on my truck.

 

Here's an image of the part number decal on a left xenon with adaptive. NAS is North American spec. There are 3 types of headlights for LR3's that I know of for North America. Base Halogen, Xenon w/o adaptive, Xenon with adaptive.

 

Taking a survey of how many HSEs are or are not equipped with adaptive headlights is not very scientific. Alex, your two HSEs didn't have AFS, and both of my current HSEs do. The only thing we can say is that no SE models have it. Also, another good way to see if it's so equipped is to start it up and turn on the lights immediately (and make sure you're aimed at a wall or something so you can see) and look for the headlights "doing a dance" at the onset; that's the AFS calibration. Happens every startup, even when the lights are off....just easier to see when they are on.

 

Mine are definitely adaptive. I know this because the wife yells at me for wiggling the wheel and watching the lights move side to side.
