Electric kits for Land Rover/Range Rover Range Rover ATV

We would always recommend having a dedicated electrics kit installed, where possible. This syncs with modern computer functions of your ATV, like ABS and trailer stability, rather than just basic lighting.

Why is a dedicated kit important? Well, not only does it work with the specific features of your vehicle, but it also protects the warranty of your ATV and works with any enhanced safety features you may have.

Of course, you can choose between a dedicated kit or a universal kit, and we do offer both, but a universal electrical kit can affect your manufacturer warranty and you might also need to install a bypass relay.
