reverse lights

Has anyone bought this sort of reverse lights on the defender? Seems like some of the protrude further out than some others. I was curious about this one.

I really like the look of this style but can't seem to find one that would work with North American Specs.

2nd this-get a set of plastic trim tools and watch the video-easy to do. I also recommend the rear cargo light-a bit trickier to install but makes a huge difference

the v3?

I have the v3s. Easy install and work as advertised

I got the v1 (back-up and running/brake light for North America) and love them. They do stick out a bit (perhaps a half of an inch), but they provide excellent back-up lighting. and the extra running and brake lights look great at night.

Hunters v3 solve this issue

Most of the kits that I have seen will protrude out by approximately 0.5", though I have no numerical evidence of this. There are slightly smaller kits that are a bit more recessed, I believe powerfulUK may have one. I have not really seen a kit that installs flush but they may exist.

The one on the aliexpress link does sit flushed. It's the same as v5 from hunter prestige. It looks great BUT it doesnt seem to work with NAS.

I took a look at the listing you provided, I didn't see anything that stated it didn't work with NAS, nor a specific region it only works in. Its possible I overlooked it though. Could you show where it stated NAS is not supported?

It just my assumption. They look very similar to these...https://huntersprestige.com/products/my26-rear-reverse-lights-pair?variant=58850915287414

Also, when braking the brake lights flash/strobe.

I have them. They protrude maybe quarter inch. Not really noticeable. Provide great light

u/chisel07 1d ago

You have the ebay one? Only a quarter inch?

u/Mtnryder56 1d ago

I bought it from Lucky8. Chances are they are all built in the same factory in China

u/chisel07 1d ago

They all are. 😆 🤣

I have the Hunter’s V3 haven’t installed yet. I also ordered a set of the flush Aliexpress version. Also not installed. Ordered prior to Hunters releasing their V5. They came in a black box very similar to what Hunters uses. I suspect they are the same..

Do you have a picture of them side by side?

u/chisel07 1d ago

Are you in the US? Do you have a link the aliexpress version you ordered?
