LR4 Daytime running lights!

[Interpol]

That's weird. I wonder if that's a be something to do with them pricing in fixing any issues from previous models to improve reliability. Aside from that not sure why there would be such a big price jump

HSE w/xenons

And I thought the hse came with xenon lights already but on the landrover site it says halogen and you have to pick the vision assist package. But I personally don't need all the cameras too or the blind spot monitoring

Well, the current landroverusa build page shows xenons right at the top of "key fewtures." And the prices do not reflect the $10k jump described here.

At the risk of further thread hijacking let me say I have been unable to find a single dealership with Base models in stock. It seems one must do a special order for a base. True?

One dealership i went to had the hse lux, the other didn't even have one. I'm planing on getting the hse not the base model, i just think its wrong for a car of this price not to already come with the led lights, and in order to get it you have to get a bunch of other bells and whistles too. as it stands now the way i would get it would be either coris grey or white with the black pack, upgraded audio and swap the wood for black on the interior. im still on the fence about dishing out another 2800 just to get the head lights the way i want them...

$2800?

And what package would that $2800 be?

Epicicir4 says above we get the LED strip in the Base model anyway. Don't wish to labor the point but the ubiquitous HSE lux costs 20% more than the Base, with the plain HSE half-way between. Reports here on the Clear Vision halogen bulbs are excellent. For some folks ordering (which seems to be required) a Base model with only the packages desired and upgrading the halogen bulbs may be worth the 3-4 month wait for a savings of 10-20%.

2800 is for the vision assist package it includes
-- Xenon Adaptive Front Headlights with Signature Day Time Running Lamps Lights (DRL)
- Automatic Headlights with High Beam Assist (AHBA)
- Powerfold Exterior Mirrors
- Reverse Traffic Detection with Blind Spot Monitor and Closing Vehicle Sensing
- Surround Camera System
the regular hse just has halogen lights with the single day time running lights, its rather annoying

Amazing how much power the importer has to determine what you get. I'm sure they think they're doing the customer a favor. Interesting how you Canadians automatically get the heated windshield!

I'm thinking more and more of ordering a Base with a few strategically chosen options and waiting.

i considered ordering the base too then adding just what i need, but with the base you dont get the nav system and you cant add it (at least not here in canada)
