Reversing lights
l know there are various options for fitting extra reversing/back up lights to the Defender.

However
ls there any way to improve the existing lights to make them better? As in, replacing the LED modules.
Apologies if this has been discussed before and l missed it.

But if not, which is the best aftermarket reverse light kit?

Following. I’m not a huge fan of the aftermarket versions, they look like a bit of an add on I think so if anything can be done with the existing it would be good to know.

I'am thinking the same, besides my air safety coupler is in the way.
But there is room left for reversing lights, working on that to find a good and fitting lens and some cree leds.

Its really easy but requires you to put fear aside when pulling them off! Laughing

As for tools, I just got some trim removal tools off Amazon. Have a look on Pwerful UK's website. They show you how to do it in a video.

Its worth doing, because they make a big difference. Thumbs Up Eiger Grey MY23 D250 SE with bits. Known as Noddy.

I have to recommend the ones from Hunters Prestige. Great integration and easy install and good light! I went for the basic ones without red light around or indicators in them.

I have the Powerful ones and yes they are bright but they look terrible, I much prefer the look of the Hunters Prestige ones and I'll get around to changing them someday Thumbs Up Cheers Ian

I have the Hunters version, waiting on better weather to fit them but they look the part.
