I really loved the 1 ... |

Have seen some nice examples of this Land Rover torch fitted to Defenders but can't find any for sale.
Anyone here got one that they never got round to fitting?

I didn't have to extend of any my looms, but it is tight. Don't forget to trim the corner on the clock.
I've got nothing in the circular hole (yet).

Finally all finished, but as people have said, a proper pig to fit. Was really struggling until I realised I hadn't transferred over the metal clips from the old fascia - doh

Thanks, I have the same H/U so will try trimming the clock this weekend and see if that works. Still a bit worried about some of the loom lengths though, did you have to extend any looms?

Hi all
I've recently upgraded to a Double Din fascia and didn't remove the cigar lighter from the old one as I thought I'd replace it with a USB connector instead.
My H/U has 2 USB inputs (one f ... |

Hi
I have a similar problem, an have already re-moulded the air pipes and it still won't go flush.
I think it might be some of the looms being too tight - did anyone extend any of theirs?
