    LED's and Defenders

    Just wired up a work light at the rear of my 90. I have looped it into the rear factory light (operated via a switch on the dash) this light now has a white lens on it to aid hitching up the trailer, but not that effective.
    Hence the new higher work light.
    The new work light is LED 10 Watt, after i finished the work the factory light works but the LED does not!

    Can anyone assist me as to what i have done wrong please?

    Appreciate

    David

    If you have just piggybacked off the factory light it should work.
    If the voltage is to low the LED's might not work. Have you checked with a multimeter?

    When wiring any work light into the rear wiring of the Puma, + wire of the new light goes to the - of the factory light, then it will work how it should.

    Hope that helps other handy persons

    cheers
