2012 Defender bulb question?

Morning guys,

Hope eye type is ok as not been on here for a while

, I was just wanting to know what bulbs (H4?, H7?, 501?) are in the front of my x-tech defender as I'm looking to upgrade to make the light more white/blueish and not the caddie power yellow so to speak?

And if you know any places were to get them from this would be a great help as want led side lights if pos but don't want to mess about with wires etc?

Cheers

Stu

hi Stu

I noticed you'd not been about - welcome back !

headlights H4, spots H7

PIAA UK HQ are just around the corner from you ... best bulbs, but stick with 55/60's for your headlights unless you have added a relay to your loom

Tim @ Mobilecentre is due to announce some 90mm LED spots to replace the existing on the SVX front cluster

That will be....

You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

We'll fitted the H4 bulbs and the new 15 led 501 side lights and look great

, but .............. Went to fit the H7 main beam/spot lights and there H9 bulbs so will have to look out for those now, so if you have a 2012 X-Tech the bulbs are H4 and H9

Headlights and wipers

I was disappointed with the poor output of my original bulbs so have just put in a pair of Philips Extreme Vision +100 bulbs. For around £20 this is an amazingly good upgrade - bright white and a good range both on dip and main.

Another useful upgrade has been silicone wiper blades from Mudstuff - again Land-rover had somehow not quite perfected the factory originals!
