    Trailer dash indicator

    Hi again,

    Is the trailer indicator on the dash suppose to flash with the indicators?
    Mine flashes green in sync with the indicators

    Cheers Lemo

    If you've got a bull bar fitted that has indicators on it then it's normal.

    Yes it will (or at least it did on my old Disco and Defender - I've not done it on my current D2).

    However, if you also replace the regular indicators with LEDs you will get the rapid flashing as the ECU will think a globe is out because of the low current draw.

    Most replacement LED kits come with a new flasher can to replace the original which fixes the rapid flash issue :-)

    There is no "flasher can" on a d2 , resistors are needed if you wanted to replace all the lights with LEDs , and yep just replacing the bull bar lights with led will stop the trailer dash indicator

    Alternatively leave it, when the trailer light doesn't flash you'll know you have a globe not working

    Just fitting an LED bulb will fix it.

    But the complete bullbar LED light replacement looks better in my eyes.
