There shouldn't be anything attatched...just squirt wd40 or washing up liquid all way round lens as its probably welded on with 20 years of mud, flies and cow****..

what year defender is it? It could be that it's got the newer type lights where the lenses are permanantly attatched. Has it got a twist off bulb holder on the bottom of the black stem?

If you have replaced them in the past with the £1.99 pattern part ones then that will be your problem! I did this and now all my lenses need to be pryed off with a small screwdriver all the way around as the lense and the rubber must bond together and it leaves them looking a mess.

I would buy some genuine light units and replace them!

I had the same issue - the previous owner had superglued the two parts together for water prevention...
