LED Replacement Defender headlights

I wonder if the Defender 'Autiobiography' owners will have to remove their LED lights in case they cause multiple head on collisions!

I think factory fits have to comply with ADRs so no problems there.

So after due consideration, looks like LED's are safe to fit, and wont be an issue with your insurance company.

I'll order some shortly.
Only problem now, is Nolden or Trucklite (aka Narva)

There, fixed it for you.

One other option to consider are the ARB replacement headlights for the defender. They come with a wiring loom and 110/80w globes. Fully ADR compliant.
Approx $350+$100 for fitting if required.

Thats a lot of money for nothing,Drivesafes upgraded loom and OEM upgraded globes are less than half that for the same result. Pat

Maybe Pat, just putting it out there.
Being new to defender's I don't know all the tricks and tips.
Although, I don't find the MY15 defenders lights too bad for standard issue.

Hi, I did notice a big improvement with the Traxide kit, but I'm still exploring the LED options.
Cheers

How well do the LED 7" headlights throw ?
I realise their fill light is excellent, but my understanding is that LED still has a way to go to match the throw of halogen or HID.

Are they yet at a stage to compete with a pair of good old Cibie Z beams with 100/90w H4 globes and relays on high beam ?

Rick,I have a traxide kit and nighteater globes in the Tdi and standard loom with OEM LR globes,can't remember the name but had them dealer fitted in the TDCi,the Tdi's are better.A mate with a wrangler has the Trucklight LED's and I'm not that impressed with them,I'm on the fence ATM,I was going TL until I saw them,the cheap Cree LED's have a better pattern,another mate with a Patrol has them and they are very good for the price but I want Noldens in the TDCi,I might go Cree in the Tdi or just fit the High Crystal out of the TDCi when that gets LED's.
