SupporterI want to upgrade my defender headlights and have read many of the posts here and based on what I have found plus some other research it looks like I'm down to a choice of options
1) JW Speaker ....appears to be top of the line kit ....with good low beam and high beam performance
......but a tad hard on the wallet .....
2) A traxide light wiring loom upgrade ...plus better bulbs .( Phillips?? ).and a suitable reflector (ciebo )
3) crystal halogen headlight uograde ....from Rovercraft
4) xenon ultimate headlamp upgrade ......from Rovercraft
I can afford the J W Speaker .........but I have past experience and confidence in Traxide kits .....however I have no idea of how these different kits might deliver the best light ...........I am old with failing eyesight and need the best light I can get ........so not sure how I should choose ........comments ...experience .....suggestions welcome ..........

Traxide kit (or equivalent) for a start. This is by far the best light for the money, and needs to be done before any of the other changes are considered anyway. Do this and then consider further upgrades.
If your eyes are suffering from poor vision due to old age, speaking from my experience, consider a cataract operation. The improvement in my eyesight was staggering.

JDNSW is spot on, in that the first thing you need to do is fit the Traxide loom, which is said to improve your standard headlights to such a degree, that maybe you won't need to do anything else.
I think that, after that, there are several options, but that ya need to do the loom first, to support whatever it is that you decide to do.

I run the Trucklite LED headlights and I am quite happy with them.

SupporterMaybe simply fitting an LED lightbar would be a far easier and cheaper option.

SupporterHow on earth can adding a lightbar make the lighting "Worse" I call BS on that statement.He wants to UPGRADE the lights, not make them worse! (Not a fan of led kelvin output sorry)

If the lightbar is wired up correctly then it will turn off when the lights are dipped and it will the same effect as increasing the output of the headlights on high beam, Only better.

I agree with those who say to upgrade the wiring loom and fit plus bulbs first, before deciding if other upgrades are necessary.
Fixing the wiring loom will improve everything.
