Everything that it says reads fine, just up to you whether you think it's too good to be true or not.
Passing an MOT doesn't necessarily mean it's legal, but they say they have European Type Approval and you can see the little mark on the lens. If you assume that the lumen rating is for a pair (which it must be because that would be mad for one) and if you assume that those are theoretical LED lumens as opposed to actual output lumens (which you'd expect as they usually use the highest rated if they only show one rating) then they're slightly less than the Noldens. IP rating of 67 is for temporary immersion which is fine, but it doesn't give any water jet rating (IP66 or IP69k for instance) so you don't know how well they'd do for pressure washing. FWIW the Noldens only give a jet rating (IP69k) but don't give an immersion rating so you can't hold that against them too much  TBH anything's going to be better than the standard units in water resistance.
What setup do you have at the moment? You can gain huge improvements over the factory candles by upgrading the wiring and the headlight units themselves. |

^ What sort of price are these.
I was looking at similar and yes they are not expensive but surely an increase in the std candles and also look better ? |

There's an interesting video on mobilecentres FB page that reviews about 12 different led headlamp units ... The results may surprise a lot of owners

How interesting. Some real surprises in there.
Will be interesting to find the individual tests mentioned in that movie for each of those lights. Speaker, Nolden and Trucklite in the first place.  You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

I love how Americans can fill 12minutes and 45seconds with what most could say in 2minutes. They really love their own voices! 130 Puma HCPU with an Artica 240LR Demountable Camper
