Has anyone added aftermarket lighting to their 2020-2023 Defenders? I still have several items from Baja Designs and Diode Dynamics that I took off of my TRD Pro 4Runner, and would like to know if/how people are integrating aftermarket lighting systems into their current vehicles...

Also, if you do have any of these items installed, can you please post pics of them?

Thanks in advance!

 

Plenty on here. I advise using the "Advanced Search" as the "Search" sucks. If you post where you are planning on putting them, it'll be easier to send links if you can't find them. Are you putting them on the roof, on the front of the rack, on the back of the rack, on a bullbar, up front, or as ditch lights? There are deep threads on each. Rather than searching them all (I'm a bit lazy today), which one and I'll help you find it.

Post pics as you go thru the process!! We all enjoy Defender **** (err, I mean pics) of it in action.

 

I was hoping to put something on the front of the Defender to augment the high beams and give me more peace of mind when I am traveling those long, dark, stretches of road and trails...

 

Many have gone with "Ditch" lights. There's a quick/easy bracket that you can put them on the hood. Doesn't look as bad as initially thought. With "modern" lights, you can put them anywhere and they are crazy bright: [Link].
Here's another thread for alternative ways of mounting the switches [Link]. @hectorcamacho@me.com uses a different switch setup with what I think is a better internal mount.

Here's the general thread re: getting them into your "high beam" [Link]

But, honestly - just check out all the support from LazerLamps. They have the most seamless kits, lights, etc. If you want to branch out, you'll at least be informed. [Link].

Regrets for the late reply, but I was just visiting El Paso!! You probably know that Texas Monthly puts out a Top-50 BBQ spots every four years. I was just out your way finishing my final two: Desert Oak & Convenience West. Should have had our own Far West Texas Rover Rally! Well, technically CW was in Marfa - but close enough.



BTW - Hutchins gets a 1-star Review for losing their F'ing stamp...

 

Now THAT looks like fun!! I'm hungry

 

I feel like the only real way to add a lightbar to the front of the Defender is to add the factory “bull bar” bumper that come with the winch… 👎👎

 

If you don't mind doing a little cutting you can install a light bar in the front grill. The guys from Reul Sport in Belgium have modified a VisionX curved LED that looks great installed

 

Or high beams recessed in the grille, also a little bit more cutting..

 

Nice! What lights are those?
