Lighting

First true bit of personalisation done since the sidesteps came grinding to a halt, and already he's starting to look better. Will help when I get the headlight surrounds painted as well

Now you need some of these David

I do like the NAS Lights, but I don't fancy going cutting large amounts out of the bodywork. I like the look of the clears and they'll look a lot better when I get the headlight surrounds black.

Rear indicators are a direct replacement, with a redrilled plinth
The front may not require cutting with a flat surround, or no headlamp surround

In which case the only cutting required is for the stop/tail.

Unless................. you also fit circular fog & reverse?, as I'll be doing when AES get some more stop/tails in stock

Depends on the age of the Defender....

Any pre '94 Defender, with the earlier type lights (not the later plug in type) will need  the holes enlarged too (front and rear)
Post '94 (plug in type) have a larger body, which is the same size as the NAS light - and thus the hole in the body work is bigger.


To fit the correct fog and reverse light you also need the correct plug, which is avaliable from Vehicle Wiring products for not much.

BTM, you do know the lens on a red stop and tail light is different to the lens of a red fog light???

True, I forgot about the earlier lamp differances. Silly me :oops:

Yes, I believe the Fogs are a differant focal length (as are front side-lights & reverse lights)

I've done nothing to the rear yet, and don't really plan to unless they come up at good prices. Money isn't flowing clear through my hands at the moment so I'm doing stuff as funds allow.
