(chassis codes L359, L314, L320, P38) AutoKitShop lists 30 Freelander 1 L314 1997-2003 LED kits covering model years 1997 to 2014. Kits for this model run from 2-piece to 17-piece sets.

If a bulb does not light on first fit, rotate it 180 degrees, because LEDs are polarity sensitive. Colour options are white (6000K), ice blue, warm white (3000K) and purple.

Installing LED bulbs in the Land Rover Freelander 1 L314 is straightforward:

Overhead console: Gently pry the lens off with a plastic trim tool. Swap the festoon or T10 bulbs.
Door lights: The lens twists out with a 30-degree turn. Pull the old wedge bulb and push in the LED.
Footwell lights: These pull straight out from the socket. Match the orientation of the original bulb.
Trunk light: Pry the housing out from the trim panel. Disconnect the plug, swap bulbs, and reconnect.

If an LED doesn't light, flip it 180 degrees — LEDs are polarity-sensitive and this is the most common 'issue'.
