Can you provide some more details on your light install? Interested in how you ran the switch vs wiring into the high-beams.
The installation was straight forward, everything is provided in the kit (cutting guides, wires and bolts), they even provide you with switch that bolts on below the ambient light switch on the defender
as for why use a switch instead of wiring it into the high beam, I just didn't wanna tinker with the electrics, I'm pretty sure if I took it to an electrician it will be easy, also I didn't wanna give a reason for the dealership to void my warranty once I take the defender for service.
A video has been uploaded by them to show you how to install the lights
I actually use them alot, if I go off-roading and the whole car is muddy and filthy I use them to get in and out of the car, my wife uses them too and I guess you can use them as rock sliders (for now).
After One year of ownership with 13,000 miles in different terrains, im still surprised with the defender's capabilities even without having the rear diff or terrain response 2.
Never had a fault, never broke down on me, everything just worked, but there are 2 disappointments.
Rattles are increasing daily, doors, seats, down, up, pillers and every where.
Modding the defender is just difficult and expensive, the aftermarket parts and accessories are just unjustifiably crazy expensive, I know with time when the hype dies down the prices will go down but im jealous at how the market adopted quickly to the ford bronco, with accessories being sold even when the car wasn't released.
My defender is a P400 SE eiger grey and below are my current mods.
Evo Corse 18 inch (without brake conversion)
Cooper at3 275/65/18
lazer lamps grille kit
headlight guards
Extended wheel arch

and many small changes in the interior.
previous mods:
redbourne alston 20 inch wheels
bfgoodrich ko2 275/55/20
side box

oem roof rack
oem spare tire cover
Feel free to ask me anything.
also here is a sneak peak on the new ineos grenadier, will put them head to head.
Please, can you share more detail on the headlight guards you used. Thanks.
as requested, regarding these headlight guards these come with a strong 3M double tape, wipe the headlight black border with alcohol wipes and stick them on.
