Hi Vlad,

Your's are all Tdi's...? Part number PRC9916

Yeah Tdi 1995.

I was hoping for some clear ones though.

Hi Vlad,

Australian options are limited, but part no XGB100280 or the slightly newer XGB000020 would be your options. The P38 RR used the same clear ones...

Thanks Lou but those are just clear lenses not LED lights.

You wont get any LED side lights that are made to suit a defender, BUT you can get some after market types that are bloody close, here is were I brought mine from.

Roadvision :: Marker Lamps (http://www.roadvision.com.au/Products/SignalLighting/MarkerLamps.aspx#.VGIGtme7beC)

I chose the PETERSON’s premium 1268 Series LED in Amber with the Alli Bezel for my 130, but you would have a closer match with the 15 series of LEDs I'm thinking.
Hope that's of some help.

Fit LEDs to std side lights simples!

Check these out.

I might try some on my Defender.

Arthur I have a kit similar which is why I want clear side led reoeaters to match in.

[Gibs]

Those are for front and rear, what Vlad's after are the smaller side lights on the front quarter panels, which no ones makes in a LED lamp that looks any where near a OEM 1 for 1 swap over. So after market is all that's left.

DOOHHH you beat me to the punch Vlad :)

Hi Vlad,

As Tombie said, get the clear units and just replace the bulbs with LED.

I've look around myself to match the LED 73mm set I've got, but no luck other than switching to Toyota ones that appear to be very similar... not keen on contamination though!

I've no switched to LED sealed units like Arthur's post and replacement bulbs on all but my headlights.

Cheers,

[VladTepes]

OK so where's a good place to get the suitable LED bulbs? What am I looking for?

[Loubrey]

Vlad,

Just take an example of any bulb into your local Auto One store and they will sell you the equivalent in LED. (I only use Auto One as an example, because its my closest shop and they stock pretty much everything I ever need)

Last weekend I replaced the Tdci's high level break light (blown bulb) with the LED equivalent. The metal fitting is identical, but the glass part is replaced by all sorts of fancy LED bits.

They sell LED units that will flash orange behind clear plastic lenses like your 73mm units do (I assume from your earlier post you went with clear plastic LED indicators?) which would be perfect for this application.

Cheers,

Lou

Be aware that replacement LED's for Bulbs on some external light fittings do not always meet ADR requirements. The light output through the older style lens is too low from LED bulb replacement more so when the LED's used are not of the CREE style LED but are in fact the traditional styled domed LED's and on top of that the distance from the lens focal point is now also incorrect. These usually fail on the required amount of light output quite badly.

[Loubrey]

Hi Gibs,

Agree 100% and I've always made sure that they are the CREE type unit and not the old domed style ones.

I've replaced my cab lights with the bullet ended ones and the lighting improvement is just short of spectacular and my concerns with the high level brake light might actually be the other way that it might be a bit too bright!

We were out on a club night run last Friday night and the difference between my new Wipac LED side lights and my standard headlights were massive. Made my Puma's headlights (which are normally pretty decent) look like candles in the distance...

The trip gave the boys and girls a chance to play with their LED flood light bars as well and I must admit I was left a bit envious... I have some decent Lightforce 210mm lights, but between spotting planes and staring at the dirt they are not much use offroad! More LED's on the shopping list I think!

Cheers,

Lou
