Thread: Discovery 3 LED trailer lights

    Cool Discovery 3 LED trailer lights

    I am new to the Forum, so maybe this matter has already been discussed, but I cannot find a thread
    I understand that when a caravan is connected to a Disco 3, it won't detect the connection if the trailer has LED tail and blinker lights.
    There are some connections on the market which claim to handle this, one called a "LED Adaptor" from 4X4 Equip, and another called a PulseBusta from LAB Electronics
    Has anyone experience and/or recommendations about this?

    I built one from advice on this forum and others. Cost me about $50 in parts. I built mine into the trailer, so I'm sort of snookered if I want to tow something else with LEDs.

    If you're handy with a soldering iron and basic electricity you can do it.

    Cheers

    LED trailer lights

    HI Scains, I recently replaced my trailer lights with LED ones. The trailer is towed by a 2000 MY Defender 130 and I have had no problems. Are you sure there will be an issue? Cheers, 130man.

    The unit from LAB Electronics is one of the originals & designed/built by a LR guru.

    Didn't know the D2 had the flashing lights problem too.

    Also affects the RRS and FFRR. Not sure about the new FL2.

    My apologies. Replied in haste and then realised D3 has a different issue to the D2 & others where the lack of a resistance from the LED means the trailer light on the dash does not flash.

    The PulseShunt or PulseBuster sounds the go for you.

    LED trailer lights

    Thanks all
    It looks as if I can do it if I am smart enough. Otherwise people seem to favour, or be more familiar with, the LAB Electronics one
