i think older defenders could do with an upgrade. the wipac clear ones are fitted to svx models.
if a 23 set of bulbs do it then thas ok with me. |

The geek in me really likes the idea of those LED headlights, but for 1200 a pair? Are they really 20 or 30 times better than the Wipac crystals with decent bulbs in them?

My bike light is brighter than those...
On a more serious note, how good are these? LED lamps are the way forward. Better than HID by miles. Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion. |

Fitted Osram Nightbreaker plus in my Td5 at the start of November. 13 a pair from Amazon
Most certainly an improvement in the stock Td5 lamps (are they different to a PUMA?) but I am tempted to go for the Crystal lamps too. Jon - 110 td5 [sold]. Currently Defenderless. |
