Yeah I'll keep them, though on a safety note, it may be worth keeping the LEDs on the back. I'm not sure on the rear lights yet. Safety may win. Front is already changed to old school !!


Next job, pull the engine out Rolling Eyes

You've seen the pics with lights..... I just can't stand looking at LED lights on my 90. They just don't suit it. I want it to look VERY basic.

The reason I went for them was because the original early lights fit differently to the later Defender type, so instead of drilling big holes for them to fit, LED was the easy option as they have a flush fit.

....blingy sparkly lights are just not going cut it, for me.

I've ordered a load of hole saws and I'm gonna get busy tomorrow !!!


Why don't you go proper old school and get the original Lucas glass lenses? I was considering these before I decided to go blingy sparkly all around Wink
