Thread: TD5 Defender Brake Light Question

I don't know if its a brake light or a tail lamp even the wiring diagram seems a bit off it indicates there is a right hand side reversing lamp.
If anyone can shed any light on what this lamp should do it would help

Thanks in advance

Fog light... should have a switch on the dash for it. Only works if the headlights are on and all Defenders have them.

Cheers,

Lou

Thanks Lou I would of spent my weekend chasing a wiring fault lol

No problem! Switch should look like this on a Td5

Land Rover Parts - Rear Fog Lamp Switch Defender 90/110 (From VIN: VA104806 to WA138479)

Found the switch and it works fine I always though the switch was redundant

I replaced the red lens with a clear one same as the reverse light then wired in to the reverse light circuit, also replaced both globes with leds.

2 reversing lights!

Who really needs a fog light in this country anyway.

Not for us, but the guys over in the South East might find use for them on the odd occasion...

Cheers,

Lou

Imagine what would have happened if you'd read the manual

Agreed if I had one I would
