Just fitted one of these light bars from Terrafirma and what a PITA it was to fit. Firstly it does not fit as stated an air con defender without serious modification to the front grille with a dremel tool. Any ways it is on now so just waiting on a delivery of 2 pin superseal connectors and the OEM switch plug from dingocroft, then I can fit the 20" light bar I got from rustyboxx.

Tried the light bar and it fits with no clearance issues when mounted on top or below, think I will hang the light bar underneath but there is room to fit another on top. :?

I thought they sent me the wrong one too but the packaging says it is for any Defender with or without aircon as standard. Ah well its fitted now.

Looking good Brian, I've found problems with the "one size fits all" parts in the past.

Lorryman,
What bumper do you have? And which bar did you go for? I notice they have 2, 1 that is a little higher to clear a winch if you have one mounted? Does this light bar come under the A-Bar legality issue? Or the fact it doesn't offer frontal protection exempt it? Cheers Yan |

If you're going to do that make sure you put some silicone sealant around the cable entry point into the light bar as a precaution to prevent moisture ingress Don't ask me how I know  2015 90 XS CSW TDCi - Beautiful

I've got one of theirs for AC fitted to my puma (with AC) and it bolted straight on with no modification, and clears the grill by miles. I'm sure you've got the wrong one there.

@Yannis: Its an Entreq ali heavy duty bumper.
Its been on for over a year now and I ended up fitting a 28" spot only LED lightbar on the top. As for the legality, the Puma has passed 2 x MOT's with it fitted with no issues and was admired by Traffic police on a routine stop when I was working late last Christmas. I think because it is not to high and does not stick out that much with the LED lightbar fitted it looks like a dedicated lamp attachment rather than a bullbar.

IMO the OPs light bar looks great on his bumper - the AC jobbie fitted to mine would stick out too far forwards on a non-winch bumper. Cutting the grill has left a very smart finish. However, the A bar I have is a very easy bolt on fit.
