headlight buckets

#1 Post by troy » Mon Jan 14, 2019 5:08 am

Has anyone used the plastic headlight buckets , ordered a pair expecting them to show up metal , do I order the metal Lucas ones or just use these ? Guess they won't rust but are the lights easy to adjust etc etc thanks

What vehicle? They are normal factory items in Defenders.

The series 2a iam building , didn't realize they came in some defenders . Was kind of bothering me about using them for the rebuild , I already have them just wondering if it's worth the money buying the steel Lucas ones

My truck has the plastic headlight buckets fitted, like you said they won’t rust. I don’t have anything bad to say about them and you can’t really tell the difference from the outside. You can still get new, genuine Lucas buckets made of metal (I have a pair) but even these feel cheap compared to the old originals.
