Best LED light bar and rear lights.
Hi, i'm looking to buy an LED light bar and led rear spot lights for my 2015 defender... What is the best quality brand to get that wont fog up / leak etc... not after the cheapest, i'm after the best.

Regards,
Chris

They look like great quality lights, but ideally i am after around a 52" light bar to go above the windscreen on gutter mounts

After the best?


Lazer Lamp or Vision X

Now to be road legal optional driving lights have to carry an APPROVAL mark. Note APPROVAL mark NOT Emark

Chances of cheap LED bars being approved for road use is minimal.

The chance of finding one that will be road legal is next to nothing.


We have a Vision X mounted on our green 110, not road legal!

A good 52" light bar is TOO bright for most uses. Too much reflection from road signs, tree trunks etc. OK if you are going into big wide open deserts. Switch the lightbar off and onto good bright main beam headlamps and you will be driving 'blind' for a few seconds as your eyes adapt to large change of light level.

I would advise smaller ones which can be switched on indidually or in pairs so you can alter the light level.

I will be having a separate switch in the cab, as the light will mainly be used for work purposes, to light up my work space... so looking for a full 52" that wont be connected in any way to my driving lights for road use. Thanks for the replies

OK then a triple r 28 is near as dammit 52 inches wide. light that one up and you'll bring down UFO's with the beam

I can confirm the triple r is a bit overkill for the majority of Driving, but it is lovely when your out in the sticks... like daylight Driving

The rs8 is road legal I believe and have on my high beam stalk... it’s probably more than enough but I just like the look of the big bar hence having it...

Been on maybe 9 months 0 water ingress
