I was at an overlanders show today in Stratford and got talking to the guys from alpinerovers. They had a very nice series 2 109 kitted out as a camper.
The headlights are a neat setup. The outboard pair are the normal RHD-spec, and the inboard pair are LHD-spec for touring abroad. A switch on the dash selects which ones are used for dipped beam, so when you cross the channel there's no messing around with tape. Plus you have all four wired into the high beam for extra light.
The 1989 lighting regulations specifically allow this as they come under optional dipped beam headlamps- you can fit exactly two LHD-spec lights as long as only one set or the other can be lit at any time. Seems like this setup would work well with an a-bar on a defender too.
