Mobile Centre complete plug and play kit for JW Speaker 8700 Dual-Burn® HEATED LED Headlight Kit for Land Rover Defender with DRL

Mobile Centre has developed a high-performance LED headlight upgrade for Land Rover Defender using the JW Speaker 8700 Dual-Burn® heated headlight.

Designed for UK and European vehicles, this version features a heated lens system to maintain visibility in extreme weather conditions, alongside Dual-Burn® technology for maximum beam performance.

This upgrade provides a significant improvement in both light output and beam pattern while adding modern DRL functionality and maintaining full road legality.

Fully road legal (tested by the VCA in Bristol, England) and E-marked, ensuring compliance for MOT and road use.

Backed by an industry-leading 5 year warranty.

What’s Included

• Pair of JW Speaker 8700 Dual-Burn® heated LED headlights
• Defender-specific wiring connections
• Integrated DRL functionality
• Mounting hardware and fitting kit

Key Features

• Dual-Burn® Technology – Combined high + low beam output
• Heated Lens System – Prevents snow and ice build-up
• Integrated DRL Function – Modern daytime running light
• ECE Compliant (Road Legal) – Correct beam pattern for UK/EU
• Plug & Play Installation – Designed for Defender systems
• High Performance LED Output – Improved distance and spread

Dual-Burn® Technology

Dual-Burn® activates both high and low beam together when high beam is selected.

How it works:

• Combines wide near-field visibility (low beam)
• With strong long-range projection (high beam)

Result:

• Broader, more complete field of illumination
• Improved visibility across the full road surface
• Better awareness of road edges, obstacles, and terrain

Instead of a narrow high beam, Dual-Burn® delivers:

• Wide, evenly lit spread close to the vehicle
• High-intensity forward reach further down the road

Heated Lens Technology

The integrated heated lens is designed to maintain clear light output in extreme weather conditions.

Benefits:

• Prevents snow and ice build-up on the lens
• Maintains consistent beam performance in winter conditions
• Ideal for off-road, overlanding, and cold climates
• Automatically manages lens temperature for optimal operation
