2009 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SVX Station Wagon Santorini Black

Any pictures of how it looks when installed? As well in the "on" and in the "off" mode.
I guess in my case for the SVX I should order the clear version?

Daniele, still interested to see those pictures.

My brake light ordered from Naka yesterday should be delivered this week. Not to Switzerland yet, because very high courrier costs and import duties would make the price a joke, but to another EU address from where I can pick it up later and bring back here. Still, it would be good to see some nice pictures of how it all looks when working, and you may be one of the first to have it installed.

For the pics when ON, I need the help of my assistant (my daughter

) or an heavy weight to put on the brake pedal

Ok, an alternative for your daughter would be the Ardcase. When that is over your pedals and you turn key to on position, brake lights will work.

Is that the clear version or the black version you have installed?

Clear one,

Yes the 'Ardcase will be fine but I need time also, we are involving in a big project and I arrive at home so tired that, sometimes, I forgot my name........

I'll try to do my best (without warranty

2012 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Orkney Grey

I commented on Brendan's group buy on what colour is recommendation for use on a tinted rear screen? The obvious choice would be black but I wonder if the black light on a black tint may dull the light too much?

Thinking about it is the rear screen tinted in front of the brake light I'm not sure?!?! James

2014 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 SW Corris Grey

Mine is but it is true tinted glass. Our other Defender has fake tinted glass and the bit in front of the rear light has been left clear.

Good point though, perhaps the clear one would be better on tinted glass. Mine is very dark from the outside but not from inside, its one way tinted

Ours has the horrible film on the inside, which is fine until is gets scratched

Will need to check tonight. James

By EU regularities and coomon sense the tint needs to be cut out and left clear where the 3rd brakelight is.

The best matching colour for tinted windows is black WANTED:

So how does proper tinted glass stand when it comes to EU regulations? the whole sheet of glass is dark tinted. Anyway I thought there were no regulations regarding these high brake lights because they are not a compulsory light.? I read on here not long ago that they didn't even require the EU kite mark, although yours do have that I see.
