Question Why would they? Question

I run my Lightforces from main beam but with an OEM dash switch to isolate them if required. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

What about common courtesy and consideration for other road users?....It would also be an MOT failure....Buy some headlight upgrades they won't be 'dull as fook' if you buy the right ones. and keep you on the right side of legality.

So that's what high beam then is for, no? Shocked Maybe need to upgrade your standard lights Thumbs Up You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

You can do that by just turning your high beam on,.... but you shouldn't really Whistle You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Jammer - Wipac Crystals with SS bezels & upgraded H4 Bulbs i.e. Philips extreme +90% fully legal looks better and better output! All in cost me £80 about a year ago. I think a tad lower now perhaps. The output will be nice and white too not yellowy.
