Thread: Headlight upgrade kit for SVX/X-Tech defenders.

I'll take mine off and have a look tomorrow. Pat

I would be interested in the upgrade to suit a SVX if it proves to be different to standard.

Pat, did you ever have a look or install a loom upgrade to your LE? (nearly 4 years ago... )

I’m not 100% certain, but my vehicle has an additional relay for the extra driving lights as standard. Now the gauge of the wiring is probably smaller that Traxide unit. Same old story with 99% of all car makers, made down to a price and not up to a standard.
One question I did have, which in all honesty I should be directing this to Traxide themselves. Is the relay they use? In on the web site it appears to be a large metal case type unit, not the smaller 5 pin plastic cased type commonly found these days? Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks

Yes, if it's the same a the Trade headlight/driving light upgrade I put in my 130, the relay is a New Era double relay. They're fused and I understand very reliable. I'd suggest a phone call to Tim at Traxide if you have questions. I've found him extremely helpful.
