2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SW Baltic Blue

Thank you! That was exactly what I needed to finally decide NOT to buy them

Still feel sorry for the poor sod who's 500 quid out of pocket though

Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

Haven't visited blacklandy for a while

Takes me so long to write intelligible German

So one light is cracked and the other has water inside (not sounding good

)
Lucky he can buy the spare glass at least but I'm still not convinced an insurer would cover such expensive "add-ons"... Tell someone you love them today because life is short.

Really its no different than replacing a Headlamp on a Mini Cooper S BMW 1-3 etc etc they are all upwards of £500

And the most comon failure is broken plastic retaining clips which means a whole new unit

fek me, i would have to gaffer tape a £20 LR headlight in rather than pay £500 for something with a knackered retaining clip!!!!!!!!

If its your car you can make that choice however with company cars its a bit different

Industrial hot glue works wonders

Notwithstanding the fact if we supply lamps with PC lenses people then complain about the scratches in the plastic.....hence a number of our worklights still come with glass as standard because overall it is more durable and will give a greater life cycle.

So we are in the typical rock and hard place situation which is why with this lamp we have gone for PC lens.

Tbe lamp body is also not powder coated on this model but has a clear chromate conversion on the aluminium. This enables an easier fitment of the mounting rings.

Talking of mounting rings we have Stainless Steel ones now available for £19.95 + VAT per pair + P&P
