LED bull bar indicators

**loanrangie** · 2nd January 2018, 11:25 AM

Are led indicators ok to use in a d3 bar, seem to be ok in other landy's ? I see they come in orange or combined with a DRL.

They will twinkle I would suggest.

With other landy's i have read that the low draw of LED's doesnt affect the system , not the case with D3/4's ?

Like the trailer LED lights, the extra bar lights would likely react the same, and as the vehicle checks itself the indicators would twinkle...

Or relays in the line.

I've got LED bull bar indicators on my D3, no issue with them flashing like trailer lights. I've forgoten how I've wired them up however as its been a few years since I put the bar on

Likely via relay. That is how the manufacturers of the bars do it.

If they are wired in series with original indicators (bulbs) they won't cause issues I was told by another d3 owner.

I installed my bar and I didnt use any relays.
