No, directly under the headlights. They fit fine, the curviture of the body is no problem at this point. I'll take some pics this weekend.

I am looking for the same thing, as the ones I have on the front now are some Toyota ones that do not fit the curve and are looking pretty tatty. So now looking for other options.. for our rules here they need to be combination of parking lamp and turn signal.. are the Wipac ones dual filament?

I used the normal Mini ones but I recessed them slightly.

If you want dual filament suggest you buy the indicator front half and the brake light bulb holder.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WIPAC-NAS-Stop-Tail-light-LandRover-Defender-90-Td5-NEW-/390504681698?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5aebe490e2

With this

The bulb holder are interchangeable.

Yes its a 5w bulb, I modified an electronic relay to flash at the required speed.

MOT just checks for an indicator, not how bright.

Afraid not, but you could wire something up I would guess. My Headlights are "angel eyes" type so no sidelight lights required.

Yes, I can fit a dual socket behind although a lot of the newer light housings are plastic molded sockets so not the easiest, as need to keep it watertight from the rear... another option is use some relays to make it work for both park and signal?

Good idea Mr. Mac! That place does not ship outside the UK.. but I may be able to find them elsewhere..I would prefer the 70mm size though..

Just search eBay for NAS Wipac and you will find loads of people selling them. Failing that try any of the aftermarket land rover online shops.

If you want me to buy them and ship them let me know - not a problem although it might cost a bit in postage.

I recessed them so that they were square across the car but the outer edge was flush with the body panel.

A subtle but effective way to mount them.. thanks.. I have a few options to think about..I think maybe a trip to the breakers to poke around might help sort something out..
