They’re standard and exactly the same as on my other piece of crap, a classic Morgan. Osram Nightbreaker bulbs make a (marginal) difference, stainless rims WILL be necessary sooner or later, no point in not fitting them now.

Best thing to do is upgrade them to Wipac Crystals with Nightbreaker bulbs.
I did a write up here on mine http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic24287.html I wanted better headlight output and this simple upgrade gave me exactly what I wanted without the enormous expense of Led headlamps which is the other route you can go down. Paired with a Loom upgrade this will make a huge difference to your headlights Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197

I'm in the wrong business !
http://www.paddockspares.com/pm678-wipac-c...ralia.html Or from Alive tuning, or Bolt on Bits. Decent bulbs will probably be £15 to £20. I have a pair I have just replaced with LED headlights if you want to try some to see what they are like

Glad it's not me then!
Their DRL Bumper, which looks no different to our Flatdog one is over £400.00 I know a business needs to make a profit, but good grief! Bob thank you for the fab offer and I would certainly take you up on it.

LOL yes I thought £50 but wasn't sure if that figure would include new Bezels.
Mind you I think there is one advertiser on here (haven't seen them post though) who is very very pricey as well. 2015 Audi Q3 Quattro S Line Plus 184 TDI Stronic 2010 90 SMC Over Land Nero Edition - Santorini Black Metallic (Now Departed) |

I'm looking at this upgrade - whats the story with the bowls sold with these crystals?
http://r.ebay.com/Zd0sRD Do the bowls offer better weather protection? Is this what I want for a 2010 Utility XS upgrade? Proud owner 110 Utility XS Ex RR Sport HST V8 Ex Td5 90 |

the complete bowls as in the link are more for classic minis or other cars (series L/rovers ) where the back of the light is open to elements and road spray from under wing
all you need are the lenses to convert like this eBay item number: eBay Item No. 271175891222 |

I'm thinking of getting rid of the standard LR lights and going down the Wipac Crystal + Osram Nightbreaker road...
Can anyone please explain to me: 1. How necessary is it to change the loom for those lights? 2. How easy/hard is replacing the wiring loom? 3. Where/who to order it from? Cheers! |

^^^^ No wiring changes needed, however take it to a MOT station or garage straight after fitting new Crystals and rings as the beam will no doubt be out of adjustment.
Mine was and I never even could tell until MOT time which they simply adjusted FOC and passed straight away. None the less I would do it anyway unless you are lucky enough to have the facility or a mate able to do it for you or yourself. Only cost a tenner no doubt. On mine I've got Crystals with stainless rings and Philips extreme H4 bulbs very pleased indeed. Bulbs from eBay, around £22 ish then, rings from BoB(should have bought SS fixings but you couldn't at the time I got mine!) Crystals from Paddocks. |
