Thread: New Bullbar on my defender

You should be able to get units the same size with clear lenses. You'll need orange bulbs though and they have an off-set bayonet so you'll have to buy the complete units I suspect.

Maybe email this company..

Bright Lights Auto Parts - Welcome to the home of Bright Lights Auto Parts

You can buy VW ones as they are the same size and fitment.

Cna get clear or smoked from Ebay



They are from a VW GOLF MK1 & MK2

I got new ones for mine from Hella via Autobarn. Look up the Hella catalogue and they might have replacement clear lenses.

Patclan,
I know it has probably been done to death, but I am in the decision making time of deciding whether to buy an ARB or TJM bar for my new Puma. I prefer the look (I think) of the TJM, but a retailer who sells both bars is trying to sell me the ARB (which is $200 cheaper) as he says they are better made. How much homework did you (or any other forum participants) do?

Ask yourself, "Do I want a pretty bar, or one that will do the job properly when I need it?"

If the former, Go TJM.... If the latter, Get the ARB.

Theres a reason they look 'structural'

Rumour also has it that the current ARB Defender bar is going to changed soon to be more of their Sahara style bar, so will get a better looking bar that will actually perform the function it is intended to do.

But I agree with Patrick, the orange lenses do look very prominent of your truck, some smokey coloured lenses would look better I reckon

PBob, the biggest clincher for me was that ARB do not make steel side steps/rails for the defender, Only TJM, I will be getting these later on but I wanted to make sure they would bolt onto the bar easily.

Also the front of the TJM one has a bit more shape to it, not sure how to explain but in my opinion it just looks better, I have read various threads that say they are not as strong, but as I said for me it was the side rails and steps the helped make the decision.

Cheers
