Thread: Side markers (indicator)

My right one does the same thing when the parkers are on.Just the top part of the indicator light stays on for some reason.Mine passed a RWC about 3 months ago with it like that.I was wondering if this was normal as well.

Mine have always done that from day 1.
I think they are designed that way.
It is a good safety measure surely? You can't see the in headlight parkers from the side.
I would go back and argue.
If they won't accept common sense pull the bulbs and replace them later.

My Disco is the same, I had noticed soon after purchase but thought no more about it till reading the above so I did a little digging. LR refer to these lights as "front side marker lamps" as separate from the "side lamps" ( we know them as "park lamps") incorporated in the headlamps. (Rave page 4.146)
I also had a look at the latest ADR's in reference to vehicle lighting requirements as I assume this is the standard for the various state transport departments, this states that a front position light is a white light but may be amber if incorporated in a turn indicator light, it also states that an amber side marker light can be mounted at the front of a vehicle no more than 300 mm from the front extremity..(or words to that effect) so in short I cant see a problem, but if begging or stating regs. doesn't work then as has been suggested above remove the globes as they are separate to the indicator/hazard warning globes.

The orange side markers are totaly standard and legal in all states so far as I know. If they were not Landrover would have had to modify them befor obtaining ADR Approval to sell D2's in Australia.
I would suggest that if stating the above does not get you anywhere I would suggest changing to another inspection station or contacting the WA Dept of Transport ( or whatever they called there) directly. There is no reason for it to be defected on that account only.
