Anyone else have a problem with the glare of the lights behind at night? I find it a big issue on dark roads. I have the standard T3 mirrors. Are the Defender mirrors any better for reducing glare or is blue tint the best solution?

Fitted my defender mirrors yesterday, along with the power steering both upgrades worth doing. Started to fit the quick shift kit but mines a jx so the raised floor was a surprise.

That might explain it. Mines an early one. It was an easy fix

trouble with land rover is they used whatever they had to get stuff built back in the day and they havent shrugged it off yet! then part suppliers have there own take on l-r parts. i thought they were m6 when i got my first set and just assumed the treads were shit - took a genuine set off a 110 and took them to a fastener wholesalers and found imperial threads fitted fine! they fit originally on door hinges held on by m8 bolts?

I ordered UNF bolts but when me mirrors came from paddocks they were M6 (i think, maybe M5). definitely metric though.

Funny, my experience of Landy mirrors on land rovers is pants! Maybe that's just the Army ones! I'll have a pair of brackets if you still have some rowlsey please.
