Rear Indicators Upgrades

Hi -just seen this so I'm probably late with this.

Before my D2 I owned a 1994 300tdi Disco, I added the later model top tail lights in late 1996. Used new parts from British Off Road - they traded my old lights. The wiring had to be spliced in to the main harness and the extra wire brought through the plug on the back of the new lights. The trailer light (on dash) on that vehicle never worked and I never had a problem with the tails.
sometime in 1999 we did this mod to Dad's 1995 disco.

Have been thinking for a while of getting the update D2 lights for my current car - bit lazy these days, and they want to much $ for the parts.

Indicators in rear bumper & body:
AMR4873 (89w flasher unit)

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 just pulled my relay as it was playing up and it's a 3 pin YWT 10003 - '94 built/'95 compliance D1, but an MA, so don't know if that's any use to you.

Does anyone know what the pin outs are on the pillar lights are for left and right with the indicator's included type ?

Hey I finally got around to doing the mod to my disco I now have the pillar indicator's and it was easy to do and when i hooked the trailer up no problems at all everything is working ok.

I see someone else had had their towbar fitted by an "Expert". Mine too was wired in with Scotchlocks, long before I bought the D1. These horrible things were the culprits of my new trailer lights working then not working. After a while they get moisture in them and when you put the multimeter on you get 12Volts but when you turn the lights on they do not work. Until I get the correct plug I have replaced all the scotchlocks with screw type terminal blocks. Why did they not use the proper plug. Too lazy. The auto lecky I use said they thought Scotchlocks were the best thing since sliced bread when they came out, but now he will not use them.
