Fitting Trucklite LED headlamps to a Defender

[Mitubitchy 3.5]

Also fitting the TL 7" in my 1988 VW Syncro.

Low Beam, very bright but not the first four Metres...

and High Beam, nearly perfect for me.

sorry for the smoke, our campfire likes to kidding me...

Expensive? Difficult to replace? No competition? No flexibility in bulb choice/replacement? Scratch easily? Fade/haze? Difficult/tedious bulb replacement?

Yeah, auto-makers are only beginning to understand the market. It's unfortunate that there is such a proliferation of vendors hawking illegitimate unsafe illegal poorly-constructed ill-performing lighting products. Consumers are bombarded by slick advertising, hyperbole, and outright lies. It's nearly impossible to separate the seed from the chaff these days.

All of the above. I was looking at the headlight assemblies on my '05 Tacoma today when I was washing it and they are fogged worse than last time I looked at them; it's creeping in from the edges but the fronts have some scratches too. And yes, most of the aftermarket replacements are junk and some are downright unsafe.

Robert, I think I saw a conversion for the tacos, it uses an earlier grille and then the 5x7 square headlights. Then all you need is a set of truck lites and your gold.

Love those Synchro's ...would like to build the 2004-5 model with the 2.5 Tdi as an overlander for the family
