amber roof lights suitable for a D3??
plenty out there but can't seem to find a decent one with suction mount for the glass roof of the D3 - all seem to be magnetic.
Need them for working airside - not permanently wired in, thinking about running the power lead out of the boot 12V socket.
I'm sure someone has this sorted - so any help, links gratefully received formerly Disco3Ben

Have you got roof rails? You could fit a cross bar and mount the light on that! D3 x2 now gone

You can fit a britax magnetic unitvon the metal body work at the rear of the glass & still open the rear door ok. I have a waterproof socket fitted to the shark fin so it just plugs in with a shortened lead. The supply comes from the rear quarter

I don't have a link but do a search on Britax A100.00.LDV & you will find one. Obviously it does sit to one side of the shark fin but it works a treat for my 4x4Response work.
I cut the lead but it will go through the door seal no problem & reach the rear socket I think for a really quick fit.

That sounds really interesting! do you have any photos of it fitted and could you give me an idea of the work involved to set that up ?
I need mine for occasional yard/port use but currently use a connection to the front cigar socket...
Yours sounds an ideal solution !
