Default I wish we could have Defender Head lights

Everytime I remove my headlight and I see that round hole, I want defender HEADLIGHTS.. I keep thinking its not that hard, just a plate with 3 round holes. But I cannot figure out what to do with the ugly stock blinkers..







Im sure the plate would be EASY AS HELL to make and the lights super easy to fit. But what to do with the side blinkers?

I love the idea, why not use little circle one just like the defender.

I've never seen it in the US & I can't find them on line, but I think I've seen Disco Is with similar kits in the British Rover mags.

I see what you are getting at, you need something to fill in the spot in the fender.

I plan on using the circle ones. Im talking about the mounting plate and how to get it to wrap around to cover up where the blinker usually sits.. or covering it up with sheet metal and get a shop to paint it.

I WANT TO I WANT TO I WANT TO!!

But I don't have the ***** or know how to add sheetmetal over the side of blinkers etc. Especially after I spend so much time to finish it and it turns out ulgy.
