1998 Defender 110 Td5 CSW Santorini Black

I have WIPAC Quadoptics and crap bulbs by the look of it, is it worth upgrading to the Crystals?

2014 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Havana

Hi, I put Crystals on my old 300 because the lights were complete cr@p. but so far the standard Puma lights with Philips Extreme seem OK.

Are Crystals that much better than standard Puma lights? BM52

What are they like in the snow though? Where the heat from normal types of bulb melt the ice and snow off the lenses, what happens with LED light?

There is some heat generated at the rear of the lamp which is blown forward by a small fan onto the glass. The lamp has been tested down to minus 20 degrees......HTH.....Ada Putting Dreams on Drives at JLR Solihull..
