Really? When I was a younger bloke, the term was used extensively in rural areas of Qld!

Also, from Qld regs: The switch must be wired so that the driving lamps can be switched off while the main-beam headlamps remain on.

Having got a set of Nemesis lights for $200 from some 200 series owner who replaced them with LEDs and fitting a new set of lenses for $100 I am going to put them on the Defender. I have a question. - do we have a favourite spot to mount the DC-DC converters on a Puma?

Well the lights need another set of lenses….well one lense if they sell them singularly.

not because of delamination this time, looks like a stray rock.

This will be the 3 or 4th lense for the drivers side. Good thing I haven’t had to pay for them to date.

Not sure if I’ll replace it

I see the reflector has signs water damage, a couple of spots, probably doesn’t need replacing.

Yes, they do sell single lenses. But you'd need to call them. They have upgraded the lense fitting, too, so that the edge is better protected. But you'd probably want to do both lights. Not expensive, $99 for both.

Washed the car and it doesn’t look like water is getting into the lense……

Think I see how they go before spending money of lenses

To date I have paid for replacement lenses or reflectors as the lenses were delaminating

David from FYRLYT asked me to give him a call…..

I didn’t realize the latest lense is a two piece lense….

$99 for a pair of new lenses
$20 something dollars each for the replacement pieces of glass.

He said they still had some of the original plastic lenses in the warehouse.

Given no water is getting through I’ll squeeze some superglue into the cracks and monitor.

The new metal surround ones are fantastic…


And nothing matches these for usable light output.

Agree they are a good light….just a pity they are still working on the lenses.

I recon I’m up for it fourth set lenses…..I don’t recall having any issues with lenses on my previous driving lights.

One of the lense failures damaged the reflector.

I think I’ve mentioned before in this thread….ill bin them if I need to invest any more money on them.

The damage to the lense doesn’t appear to be letting water in so they’ll survive until water gets in.
