Nice job
 the actual front end itself does nothing for me but each to their own. Steve.

I like the grill, just not on a Defender
 Sticks out too much and just looks out of kilter with the rest of the car. Reminds me of the old Cybermen.
I'm not in love with the plastic LR grill and light surrounds either. Too cheap and nasty looking and feeling. |

Daniele,
Can you post a picture(s) with a frontal view with the parking lights on? If possible later in the day at dusk or so. I have read in earlier threads about these Speakers that the parking light is an extremely small LED at the top of the units. I am tempted to make that change too, but only have seen pictures with either high or low beam on. Tks, Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |

And one more question about these Speaker LEDs with sidelights. I understand that they are properly E-marked, but how do you have to read that E-marking to show our technical inspection clearly that unlike HID lights, these LED lamps do not require self levelling/wash system?
I guess this must be encoded in the E-marking and other info on the lens glass.... Asking this question to anyone who knows the EU rules for this, so also other site sponsors... Tks again, Eric You never actually own a Defender.

The are marked on the external front glass and they are homologated ECE R112, the same homologation of the original bulbs headlamps. This means that you do not need self levelling/wash systems. Here: Regulation No. 112 - Rev.2 you can download the UN-ECE Regulation n°112. and here the addendum Regulation No. 112 - Rev.2 - Amend.1 Regulation No. 112 - Rev.2 - Amend.2 Regulation No. 112 - Rev.2 - Amend.3 Forthcoming Regulation No. 112 - Rev.2 - Amend.1 - Corr.1 Last, here the general download page from the unece.org website Discovery 5 td6 HSE Stornoway Gray Outback Engineering Limited Edition

Sounds good Daniele, finally a clear response
Still looking forward to see pictures of the sidelights at dusk. You never actually own a Defender.

Just home and took a look at the lenses of my clear SVX headlamps. I see a lot of numbers on the bottom, and in the middle in a circle E9. But I see nowhere any sign of the mentioned ECE R112.
How to understand that? Should the ECE R112 be visible somewhere on the glass, and if not, how to know that either my current original lights or those Speaker LEDs are ECE R112 homologated? I want to avoid any issues with our Swiss MOT equivalent. Still unclear to me. You never actually own a Defender.

The lamps as Daniele quite rightly says are homologated under the incandescent standards so do not require levelling or washing.
Nice looking lights by the way  |
