I have four cheap "Chinesium" LED flood lights, one on each side on the rack and two at the rear. Those at the rear are monted on modified mirror arms so that they can be directed backwards, sideways, forwards along the sides of the vehicle, or into the rear buck.

The work exceptionally well, and cost about £15 for the four. The powder coat is flaking off (so they wouldn't suit the detailing brigade), but it terms of VFM and verstility I have never seen a better set up. Works for me.

The modified mirror arm is GENIUS!

Does the shape improve the amount of light?

I made some brackets for side lights on my DCPU. Also cheap chinese LED from ebay but perfect for this use.

Love it Steve. Another top mounting solution.

How did you route the cables??

Actually, has everyone permanently routed the cables or devised a non-invasive/damaging method of cabling?

With the roof rack I am contemplating a bulkhead style plug so I can remove the rack when not needed. Still pondering on whether this is actually needed.

Cheers! I used proper plated brass cable glands; one either side of the rear window. The height they are at means the cables are hidden totally behind the headlining. I used a 2core cable for each light so it has a round cross section and seals properly into the gland. I just fitted superseal connectors to the lights. I wouldnt even have bothered with these of the lights hadnt already got short cables moulded into the housing. I cant see the need in connectors if you dont plan on removing them often.

Thanks LRS. Rear view camera aside (that's another topic I will pick your brains on I expect), what make are those lamps?

They look like standard XS ones, which are Brunel grey.

If you were looking for something solely for reversing then twin reversing lights do make a difference. I noticed a big improvement by fitting a second one to my defender

Obviously no good as a work light but a definite improvement for reversing

I have contemplated doing the same on the current 110 for a couple of years as I did on the 300tdi but for some reason I cannot convince myself that there is enough room to get the three lights in a line without having move the existing two and drill more holes. How did you manage to fit them? Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to us off.
