orange globes from supercheap into the reverse light section and wire them up to indicators and get a small reverse light spotty under rear bar and wire it up and you are sweet, :)
i am in the midst of doing this on my D2 as it is the same, no indicators up high.
I do remeber coming across a site that was selling an upgrade kit but I can no longer find it but I am still trying to search for it. Far as I can remeber it included the lenses, plugs, harnes etc and I think at a cost of like $300 / $400.
That's why you use 5W globes not 21W, they're repeaters not indicators, low wattage globes wont effect the flasher:)Quote:

For the cars with bumper indicators only, I thought maybe some countries had a different harness thet didn't have the trailer plug built in. All Australian cars have the plug in the harness so I assumed that the flasher would be YWT10002L.
However, checking both YWT10003 & YWT10002L, LR have both in their Australian stock (which is a surprise if one isn't for Australian cars).
Has anyone here checked the original flasher unit in a 1995MY D1?
Is it 3 or 4 pin?
Does it have a part number on it?
I've got one of these D1s with this design flaw. And, yes, I do see it as a flaw. There's no redundancy in that set-up and the lights are hidden in the spray/dust/etc. LR made this change in advance of some proposed EU regs that then didn't go ahead as expected, so they then changed back a couple of years later, but left the bumper lights as well as a very worthwhile upgrade.
My fix:- I got the pillar lights off a '96 (complete with globes, connector & 2" of wiring, etc) from eBay, bunged 'em in and spliced the wiring in. Bingo! Four tail-lights and two indicators on each side with no drawbacks. No warning lights or other issues. And now it looks like a later model as a bonus :D
Mate of mine with an NP Paj trying to do the same, for the same sorts of reasons. Much harder in his case. Very stupid idea having a highly visible light cluster, not fully utilised. :mad:
And are your electrics ok when you plug your trailer in :confused:Quote:

This is all very interesting and when I do mine I will open a how-to for others to follow and add to it.
For ease of installation I spliced into the trailer wiring for the additional tail-light and indicator on each side, and swapped the pins in the connector as required for the other existing lights.
One thing I haven't done is hooked up a trailer since the conversion. So I can't comment on what issues that might, or might not, bring up. A trailer with LEDs should be fine though as the current draw would be very low. Swapping the relay should also fix this if it is an issue.
I have a 97 and all lights operate, bumper and body.
All 96 to 98 MYs have the bumper & body indicators as standard.Quote:
