SteveG Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Updated all of the lights on my 90 for LED.... On the rear I put on Le Perei 95mm LED units that match the existing fog and reverse lamps. These are the same lights used on latest Defender special editions like x-tech etc. I sourced mine from Dun Bri... I went for 2 stop/tail, 2 Indicators and a fog, total £157+ VAT and delivery so about £190. I didn't go for the LED reverse light as its about £75+ VAT, but you could go for this too. So, if you went for reverse too, it would be about £270 shipped. When I ordered, some of the versions with wire tails were not in stock, so I ordered the superseal ones throughout. For the plinths, I went for Genuine Land Rover ones that have the benefit that they scew into the existing holes. They are part no. LR009773 and cost about £4 each from paddocks... As you can see in above pic, I made up some adapter harnesses to go from standard econoseal connectors to superseal. I bought the correct tyco econoseal/superseal crimping tool along with 2-way and 3-way connectors of each type from www.polevolt.co.uk cost was about £77... Cost would only be about £20 if you already had the crimp tool and bought the LED lights with wire tails, as you would then just need 3of 2-way and 2of 3-way econoseal connectors. For the reverse I went for putting in a compatible CREE LED bulb for £15... For the front I went for bolt on bits indicators that look like stock lights and cost £16 each. For the sidelights I put in 270 LED bulbs £12 delivered... For the indicators, you'll also need an LED flasher relay. I bought the one from Mobilecentre for £19 delivered... So here they are all fitted... and rear... And pics of them lit... Rear... Reverse and fog lit... Some close ups... So I'm very happy with how they have turned out. You can try to justify expense, about £300, on longevity, robustness of LED's and the fact that you won't drain the battery so quickly if you accidentally leave the lights, but realistically you've got to like and want the look of them to justify expense and effort over the standard lamps.

Guest Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I have just upgraded mine but went for the original looking LED's from BoB I have yet to fit them but they do look fairly good quality. Jason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they do and seem to be good so far. They work out a lot less too, at about £120-130 for a full set. I just like look of matching NAS type lights on rear.

Smego Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 how much difference if the light brightness between the stop and tail on the "BOB" one as I once tried some from china and could hardly see the difference...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know yet as they are still in the box, I may get time to fit them tomorrow. Jason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 The BOB standard size lights are a vast improvement the stop/tail lights are now on a par with modern car lights instead of a dim glow. I'm very happy with mine and they were fairly easy to fit to. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
