Budget, mid range or premium? Would be a good start to working out your requirements.

would say more mid-range - maybe Budget (going premium would be a bit overkill for what landy is used for) 110 Hard Top - Izmir Blue

Have a look here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40...p;_sacat=0
LED is the way o go in my opinion for your usage due to the size, shape and design you require. Will also suit roof mounted much better than halogen / incandescent lights. There are options there suitable as work lights too. Legalities:- Roof mounted aux lighting facing the front has to be switched or switched as well as main beam triggered. Either way must be independently switched. Front mounted lighting like my own I.e. On an A bar can be switched or main beam triggered or both. In my case main beam triggered only which is how I prefer them and keeps things simple.. Rear work lights again need to be switched, they shouldn't be reverse light triggered although many do its not strictly legal. Other members here could likely give you the exact legalities in question regarding the wiring but it's only common sense really. LED light bars can wildly vary in price and quality but there are recent threads of budget ones bring excellent so might be worth doing a search to have a look. |

This is one option for those of us with roll cages.

Hmmm an LED light bar is very tempting! biggest bug bear is i don't particularly like the look of them but I'm sure it might grow on me! the clamp able light bar i was looking at is this one: http://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/accessori...#mainimage iv done a mockup on Photoshop and really like the look of it - It math have persuaded me to go ABar first before roof lights! 110 Hard Top - Izmir Blue |

Bear in mind that your spare wheel will cast a big shadow over the tow hitch if you mount a light above the rear door... My blog - www.anacreinhampshire.blogspot.co.uk
