DA1158SS – Stainless-Steel 7-Inch Headlamp Fitting Kit and Silver Ring – Defender, Series and Range Rover Classic – Single Side
Replace rusty or damaged original headlamp mounting parts with this corrosion-resistant stainless-steel fitting kit for one standard 7-inch headlamp.
The kit includes the headlamp mounting bowl, retaining components, silver stainless-steel outer finishing ring and the standard adjustment and fixing hardware. It fits either side of the vehicle and uses the existing mounting points without drilling or modification.
The stainless-steel construction provides better long-term protection against corrosion than the standard DA1158 kit. However, its visible outer ring has a silver finish, so customers wanting a darker appearance may prefer the standard black-ring version.
Please note: this listing is for one headlamp fitting kit only. Order two kits to replace both sides. The headlamp itself is not included.

Why choose the stainless-steel version?
Original headlamp bowls, rings and fixings are exposed to water, road salt and dirt, making corrosion increasingly common as these vehicles age.
DA1158SS provides:
-
Better long-term corrosion resistance
-
A durable replacement for rusty original mounting parts
-
A smart silver stainless-steel outer ring
-
Compatibility with standard halogen and LED headlamps
-
Direct installation using the existing mounting points
-
Suitable fitment for either side of the vehicle
The silver outer ring remains visible once installed. Customers wanting the greatest resistance to corrosion may prefer this stainless version, while those wanting a darker original-style appearance should consider the standard DA1158 black-ring kit.
Fitting information
The kit uses the vehicle’s existing headlamp mounting points and wiring. No drilling, cutting or other vehicle modifications are required.
Two fitting videos are included on this page to demonstrate the kit and help with installing replacement or upgraded headlamps.
Frequently asked questions
Is DA1158SS supplied as a pair?
No. DA1158SS is a fitting kit for one headlamp. Order a quantity of two if you are replacing both sides.
Does the kit include the headlamp?
No. The headlamp or LED lighting unit must be purchased separately.
Is it designed for a 7-inch headlamp?
Yes. The kit accepts a standard 7-inch headlamp.
Will it fit an LED headlamp?
Yes. It accepts standard-size 7-inch LED headlamps as well as conventional sealed-beam and H4 halogen units.
Can it be fitted on either side?
Yes. The same kit can be installed in either the left- or right-hand headlamp position.
Does it fit RHD and LHD vehicles?
Yes. The mounting kit fits both. The separate headlamp unit must still provide the correct beam pattern for the vehicle and country where it will be used.
Is drilling or modification required?
No. It is a direct replacement that uses the existing mounting points and wiring.
What is the advantage over the standard DA1158 kit?
DA1158SS uses stainless-steel components for improved resistance to corrosion. Its visible outer ring is silver, whereas the standard DA1158 version has a black outer ring.
Why might I choose the standard version instead?
The stainless version is more resistant to corrosion, but not everyone wants a visible silver headlamp ring. Choose the standard DA1158 kit if the black appearance better suits your vehicle.
