Based on my personal experience with the first 8700s never again. Noldens for me personally along with at least two other forum members that used to have JWS fitted. The looks and light output were never an issue.

same here (one of the two) with 8700 1st edition and 8700 EVO1

I should point out that I am very happy with the lights them self. And also the staff that I dealt with was helpful. The deal was that I would pay £600 for the "evo2" and when I send the "evo's" back I would be credited £270 to my PayPal account. When they sent the £270 to my PayPal I only received £260.62 because of charges. I phoned to ask the salesman why they sent the money as a sale and not a refund and he said sorry but it was the accounts department. Bottom line is, I am very happy with the lights but "Mobile Center" should explain there process better.

Interesting piece of info there. I know Tim once wrote on here that he would arrange for a EVO1 to EVO2 swap deal, and kudos to him for doing that now.
I am interested in the better light output of the EVO2 also (I mean even better than the EVO), but still not convinced about the looks of that top half circle led which is built in as combined DRL and parking light. To me it seems a bit over the top, and I do not need extra DRL as I have them already in my Alive bumper. Maybe I will mellow to the idea of having such a half circle parking light, so we will see. Nothing bad to say about my current EVOs light output though, just perfect.

Now as to looks and going just a bit , I sometimes am tempted to change for the Truck-Lite Phase 7. They look the most classic design of all three brands often discussed here, so imo suit the Defender best of all three. And they come as standard with a discreet parking light without having to pay extra for it, and I am hearing a lot of good things about their light output too. I have a closeby neighbour who put them in his 90 and I cannot fault the classic look.

If any of the site sponsors here would be interested to make me an offer for simultaneously taking back a set of pico bello EVO1 with position lights, no corrosion, no water ingress, (I even have the boxes), and sell me a pair of new Truck-Lite Phase 7, I am ready to receive a PM from them. All for RHD continental Europe of course, not for UK driving.

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

Eric I will happily sell you a set of RHD Truck Lites.

However the local Swiss boys in blue and MOT inspectors might not be happy with you.


RHD = LHT = UK spec


You need LHD = RHT = EU/Swiss spec
