Hello chaps,
I've just purchased a 1997 tdi300 dual cab and in the process of restoring it to its former glory! I got it cheap enough so i'm buying a few new toys for it.

I did a search, but i couldnt find what i was after.

Where is the best place to purchase a set of LED lights for this model landie?
Chasing the "Clear" LED ones.

I see there are HEAPS on ebay UK, things such as: 10 RDX LUX LED REAR NAS Lights kit Easyfit Plinths Relay Defender 1994 onwards | eBay (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230744568624&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en)

LED NAS, etc. What does NAS mean?

Has anyone got any recommendations for local purchases?

I'll be looking to buy the head light surrounds, grill, and a set of LED head lights too!

And i can't forgot the interior, which needs a complete overhaul.

Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Shane

Yep weeds is right NAS is North America spec. britpart use the phrase in regards to their stepped rear bars quite often as the tow hitch is different.

There are a few uk companies that do led lights....you can get normal clear ones from britpart also and have them shipped.
Fitted led parkers to new defender bumpers in the past too, they look pretty good. Twisted performance does em but VERY expensive considering the price of a new bumper and the lights that you could easily cut and fit them yourself.

Twisted Store - Front Bumper With LED Daytime Running Lights (http://www.landrovertuning.com/products/front-bumper-with-daytime-running-lights#.UV05CBEaySM)

For grills I've fitted KBX in the past, good quality and excellent finish on them. Do a range of side vents too.

If your budget stretches a bit it may be worth considering JW Speaker LED head lamps. Well made and very bright with a visible beam cut off which doesn't dazzle other drivers like HID's do plus they are a legal upgrade not requiring a leveller or wash system.

And as for the other lights how about LED's that look OEM from the same supplier as you have in your original post?

Or for a lot more dosh you could get the river runner LEDS:

Thanks for the reply guys!
I think i'll order the clear LED light set. Might be the best bang for buck and keeping some originality :)
