Andrew

I'd say they are common. They were used in some locations in the classic if I remember correctly.

The P38A uses wedge base lamps in all instruments (as I show here: http://www.rangerovers.net/repairdetails/lcdlights.html and here: http://www.rangerovers.net/repairdetails/binnacle.html ), front parking lights, side repeaters, high level stop, map lights, and number plate lights.

I reckon the D2 would use them in the parkers.

Hang on, I'll check the parts lists....... yes, used in front parkers on the D2 by the look of it - and the side repeaters.

Also used on the Freelander.

Oh, and sude repeaters on the Defender.

They are as common as muck.

i have changed most of my bulbs to blue led's

all my dash lights except things like indicators etc are blue led

my backlight for the air conditioning nobs has a blue led

and the bulbs that light up the gear selector has blue led's in it < has made the gear selector a dam sight cooler thats for sure....

the only thing left is the clock as the rest of my interior lights are white led's

the boot being changed to two 21 led flexable strip lights as the sub boxes cover the old boot interior light hell it was crap and yellow anyway

so you are looking at miss led here only changed all my'n
one because its a nicer light to they dont get as hot (funny car doesn't start real well now)

and two they are a lot longer lasting

stop lights are next........(that wont be blue though may comfuse a few people).....go on go on tell me "i dont think thats legal....that might effect your insurance"

led is the way

I put a VDO Tacho in my fender and was blinded by the bright white light. Narva make these little silicone rubber covers for T5, T10, T15 in 4 colours and you just slip them over the bulb. It took 2 of the green ones to match the colour and brightness perfectly!

Ah, that's another way to solve my problem...not as "blingy" but just as good!
