Front bumper lights

Who has front bumper lights on their LR3? What have you used to mount them? What lights are you running? What did you do for a switch mount/location?
I would really like to get an ARB bumper with lights and a winch, but the cash just is not there right now. However I do have a need for additional lighting. I have looked at the LR kit VUU500110 but the instructions are a bit weak. Is there sufficient depth for Hella or ARB lighting? Can you only use the LR lighting kit?
Thanks for any help!

Its a car with a 12v battery, you can use whatever you want. You just use whatever wires, relay, switch, lamps, mounts desired.
The LR kit is meant to be plug and play for a dealer to install and look clean. It adds a factory switch on the dash for auxiliary lights. What do you mean by depth?

I might have been born at night, but it wasn't last night. I can do without the sarcastic 12V/car comments. If this is not a place where enthusiasts can talk freely about designs and ideas, then I will find another forum.

I was referring to the depth of the light housing.

If the depth question refers to how close you can get to the grill face while using the VUU500110 as a base for the other lights, and you mean plinth instead of "housing" it would maybe fit the ARB intensity or say a Hella 1000. If depth is too shallow to use the plinth exactly, a steel plate that relocates the light forward would be fine also. It's just a couple steel tube/plates that bolt to the steel bumper under the plastic one.
Be offended all you want, there is good info here. Another helpful place is D3.co.uk, specific to the discovery 3.

There are a bunch on Amazon. I picked the Auxbeam 32" .
Note that you have buy the switch separately, for about $15. I put the switch in the small plastic bit to the left of the traction mode dial. I don't love the location of the switch, but it seemed to be the least invasive place to put a switch without cutting into a larger piece of plastic, etc.
The light is great, I use it all the time.
