Thread: What did you do on your Defender today ? (well, this week anyway)

Yeah Simon

I read on the fine print that I may have to swap a few wires around. I wasn't looking forward to that as they are quite short on the Puma.
I re-read the destruction's and noted it was only on pre 2008? cars, But luckily they were plug n play on mine. They look great too.

They make a significant difference and I think important around where I live as we get a lot of fog and with the standard lighting someone can be right on you before they see you, assuming the bulbs haven’t blown or are full of that bulb fluid!

I fitted a RDX LED kit to my 95 300tdi. Didn't need to reverse any wires. Did have to fit an adjustable indicator flasher doohicky though.

Can I ask what the cost is for an LED upgrade kit?

Also, with the LED's, is quality (or lack of) telling on the cheaper ones?

Depends a little on if you have a fog light and want the reverse lamp upgraded. However the last one I bought directly from the UK last year was around $320 landed here. It was WIPAC which I think was also fitted to some special models.

You can get them locally from KLR and others. Pays to shop around ;-)

Plenty last weekend - see my thread, linked in sig line.

Mine worked fine on the old flasher unit, but I put the new adjustable one on anyway and kept the old one as a spare.

I think the new flasher makes a difference if you are towing... could be wrong though!
