LED defender lights recommendations

[Shingleback]

G'day all, I've had a look online and there are now a few LED lights (indicator, tail lights etc) for defenders available. They seem to be quite expensive once you add in the freight for a full set. Can anyone please recommend where to get them from (in Australia if possible) and are they good quality etc?

I'm after the original look but in LED, and don't want the clear ones. So need four orange, two red, two clear.

And who sells a good little square shaped side marker LED for the side indicators? These don't have to be exact original copy.

Thanks,
Andrew.

Andrew,

Australian suppliers are unfortunately very expensive with LED lights from my recent experience.

The best option is WIPAC LED lights from the UK as they actually make the OEM lights and their sets come with the replacement relay that you need for the indicators. The side indicators are most easily converted with a LED replacement bulb as you would need to convert to a Land Cruiser side indicator if you want full LED...

MPS Trading is an excellent supplier and I've dealt loads with them over the past few years.

Have a look through Dervish's excellent thread on LEDs for Defenders:

There's a few links to various sources for lights & great tips on fitting them.

Yeah but proper ones are fully sealed !
And you can (as I did) get clear lenses with coloured LED's - will look smick when I finally mount them !

Wipac ones from paddock spares are fair priced and shipping not bad to NZ. Make sure you get the LED flasher relay as well.

I have them on my 90 and 110 and had them on both for about a year

Mine are the original style Clear LED

Very happy with them easy to fit , took 5 mins

Bought mine from Bolt On Bits in the uk. They do post here. No cheap but a lot brighter than the original.

thanks heaps for all the replies! Wipac look the go to get them, thanks for the link Lou. As I have a dual cab 130 with a tray I reckon I will just get the OEM LED lights for the front and a universal combination truck/trailer type LED lights for the rear.

Andrew.

yep, might even go the round type. Must admit they cost a bit more than I was thinking but worth getting good ones, I've had cheap ones that are crap.

These are the lights I fitted to the rear of the 130 then mounted 2 led work lights onto the rear crossmember for reverse lights. They are made by Lucidity/Maxus and are about $70 each.

I just had a look at my headlights, MY15 Silver Pack Defender, a 4 cm row of lights, in the leno, rather than a H4 bulb, did I get Led?, if so a factory error or LR incomplete Brochure?::confused:

[DazzaTD5]

For all Defender and Disco 2, Disco 3 etc I get them from J-Car. I also get the interior globe replacement LED from same place, dont know about price though.

These are "globe" replacement style so not a full replacement unit.

Also.....so i found out recently, a new Defender 2.2lt puma, if u replace the interior globes with LED, apparently they dont turn off, they go very dim but according to customer dont actually go off....

*rolls eyes* bloody Defender, its always the tiny little BS items that screw you over. No doubt when it comes in for service and more mods I will see the issue.
