puts you into the comfortable position to get loads of cheap used replacements, in case you damage yours. |

Have Crystals fitted (bought from Paddock) + uprated bulbs, and very pleased with the set-up.
However, I will be driving to Bellagio, in Italy, later in the year. Any ideas on how to correctly 'blank' them for driving on the wrong side? '57 Defender 110 XS Station Wagon 2.4tdci |

You can have mine out of my defender in August for a tenner if you like. I will be in Swindon then so not far away. They are as new |

Are they with or without 'pilot light'? (What is a pilot light, by the way?) A tenners not too much for a viable plan B, so I'm up for it. When are you back in Swindon? - I go away the first week of September. '57 Defender 110 XS Station Wagon 2.4tdci |

A sort of sidelight that is separate to the H4 bulb. Usually around 5w IIRC. And work in the same way as actual side lights but actually mounted in the headlight bowl. (You don't want them at all! Look awful and won't suit either.) No Guts, No Glory. 🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🇮🇪🇺🇸⛽️🛢️⚙️🧰💪 |

But not as pretty Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy. Ta ta Defender

Sorry for late the reply! They have a pilot light which you can either use or not bother and wire it to come on as you see fit. Its a small push fit 5w bulb. Back yo UK first week of August and will take 10 mins to swop them over. |
