Thread: lights wiring?

G'day Machine,

• are the wiring kits from TRAXIDE good?
• do i need to upgrade the existing headlight wiring?
• does the existing wiring have a relay built into it?

• Yes I have been very pleased with everything Traxide has supplied me in the last few years.
• don't have to... but they are very very good (At least the Traxide system I put on my other Discovery was.)
• Not sure about a factory relay... but the real secret is decent size cabling - both from the relay to the lights and as power supply to the relay.

If in doubt talk to Drivesafe on this forum... (he is Traxide).. great guy, always willing to give good advice. There are a lot of auto elecs between here ( Melbourne) and Qld.... but I still buy stuff from Tim, because his product and advice is always 100%.

Half way down this page, you will see some rather dodgy before and after photos from me doing my headlight upgrade kit....

Lighting upgrade.

The results were pretty impressive.

hope it helps..

Traxide kit is very good, MLR installed one in mine. I run 2 batteries and an Anderson plug to the trailer.
Headlight upgrade will improve lighting a little as it gives a heavier wiring loom to the lights.
The Puma Defender has a relayed circuit so its not as important for the other reason. I'd still look at putting one in if you wanted to put higher wattage bulbs in.

If you are buying an SVX then you need to remember it has H7 bulbs in the main and high beam lights. The standard Defender is still H4
