Wipac Crystal upgrade
I'm planning to upgrade to Wipac Crystals / Osram Nightbreakers.

Would anyone be able to confirm that this is the correct Wipac product for a MY13 Defender (It has a headlamp levelling knob if that makes any difference)?

Hi Chris

That's correct, PM678 is currently sitting in my 13MY DCPU with Night breakers in.

Might be worth considering stainless bezels whilst you've got everything out - just a thought Smile Chris

Wipac Crystals along with Osram Nightbreaker Unlimited bulbs are now fitted Thumbs Up
I've had them re-aligned (they didn't seem quite right) and I honestly can't believe the improvement. At a retail cost of around 50 you have to wonder why LR don't get this sorted Shocked

The only downside is that they now make the standard sidelights look rubbish Laughing 2013 Defender 90 HT

Stick a set of RDX led sidelights on it - the perfect upgrade. Once again the difference will amaze you Cool Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant.

And then the indicators will look 'plain', followed by the stop/tail lamps ..... Whistle

Can anyone confirm what the standard fitment lights are - I didn't buy my 2011MY 110 new. It has Wipac Quadoptics fitted. Are these OE?
