Light bar behind lower grille?
Has anyone done this, I seem to think I’ve seen it somewhere on here. I really like the stealth look, but how much is the light compromised and does anyone have pictures of light output to see if it is worth doing?

You need to speak to Porny on here AKA Ian Baughan on the book of faces. His is the neatest fit I’ve seen produced. 2011 Defender DCPU 2.2 - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic30623.html

grafty gave me the idea for mine! Mine is a non air con td5. The light isn't blocked that much but obviously isn't as good. Il get a photo tomorrow Col. I didn't want a light bar anywhere on the outside so was useful place to put it

That should give you an idea, you can still see them, but it's not too obvious Thumbs Up

Thanks for the picture grafty. The LED bar hardly shows also they don't stick out like spot lights would and spoil the lines of the front end .
