In a milestone for automotive lighting innovation, Glohh has introduced the GL-2 and GL-2x, setting a new standard with the world’s first LED combination taillights designed exclusively for the Land Rover Defender. These taillights come in two distinct styles: the GL-2 features a deep red lens, ideal for enthusiasts of the Defender’s original aesthetic, while the GL-2x offers a darkened lens for a modern, minimalist look. Both versions not only enhance the Defender’s iconic character but also integrate seamlessly with its storied legacy.
Unveiled in England, UK, the GL-2 represents a culmination of Glohh’s expertise in crafting bespoke lighting solutions, tailored specifically for the Land Rover Defender L316 (1990 – 2016). Dr. Faheem Rafiq, Lead Engineer at Glohh, emphasized the demand for modern upgrades among Defender owners worldwide, citing over 10,000 registrations of interest in the GL-2 series. He highlighted the challenge of innovating a design rooted in history while ensuring it meets contemporary standards of functionality and durability.
The GL-2 boasts a range of pioneering features, including dual impact lighting for enhanced visibility, a fully integrated LED unit that consolidates core functions, and a robust design rigorously tested in the harsh conditions of Iceland. Inspired by the Defender’s timeless appeal, the taillights maintain a classic three-light configuration but introduce advanced technologies like Dynamic Start-up Display (DSD), which illuminates in a captivating sequence upon ignition.
Safety remains paramount with the GL-2, which incorporates dual-impact lighting across indicators, reverse, fog, and brake lights. Designed to withstand extreme climates, the taillights are crafted from toughened Polymethyl Methacrylate with a corrugated structure, ensuring durability against impacts and vibrations. They exceed IP67 standards for water resistance, making them reliable companions for off-road adventures.
Reflecting the global reach of the Defender community, Glohh has shipped the GL-2 to over 90 countries, underscoring its universal appeal. Future plans include expanding the product line to include front lighting options and specific versions for the North American market, addressing regional preferences and regulatory standards.
The GL-2 and GL-2x are available now worldwide through Glohh’s official website and authorized dealers, priced at £489.00 and £539.00 respectively. These taillights not only meet international ECE and DOT requirements but also represent a significant leap forward in enhancing the Defender’s iconic status with modern technology.
