Hi lads,
has anyone ever tried to retrofit a G-Class headlight into a defender?
Check these out:
02-06 MERCEDES BENZ W463 G-CLASS EURO BLACK HOUSING PROJECTOR HEADLAMPS PAIR NEW | eBay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/02-06-MERCEDES-BENZ-W463-G-CLASS-EURO-BLACK-HOUSING-PROJECTOR-HEADLAMPS-PAIR-NEW-/171011845853?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27d119aedd)

I wouldn't mind giving it a shot! Might need to cut the rear out and plastic weld it back together, or cut out the landrover to make them fit?

Cheers!

There's some original thinking - I hope it works for you.
If it does I expect a rash of conversions !!!!!

Reminds me of Aschenputtel, the ugly sister who cut of her toes so her foot could could fit into the slipper.

Believe me when I say I'm a purist when it get to Land Rover, but at about 35% the price of Defender LED's it might be worth consideration.

Mind, only if the modification is to the light itself and not the Defender...:D:D:D

Cheers,

Lou

Too deep I'd say. You would have to cut the wheel arch out to fit them, unless you spaced them out a bit.

Seems a bit daft when a new pair of slippers is only a few dollars at Kmart.
