Roverdrive Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Had a wee problem with my LED indicators yesterday. They have been on the vehicle for about a month with no issues but yesterday when indicating right all four lights flashed, the laeft hand ones being slightly dimmer. Turning left they operated normally. Took me a while to twig that the left hand repeater on the wing had failed, causing enough current to flow through the remaining LED lamps on that side to illuminate them. An easy enough fix once I actually spotted the failed bulb, but I had the dashboard apart before I noticed it! Oops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 If you want a proper fix, install one of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/RDX-Fix-Kit-DEL-Indicator-Lights-Land-Rover-Defender-200Tdi-300Tdi-/362156085841?hash=item54522f5251 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roverdrive Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 Thank you for the link, but at $56 I think I will go down the home made route with a visit to Maplins for some diodes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Go to bolt on bits ebay shop on ebay UK not the USA .com page. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RDX-Fix-Kit-LED-Indicator-Lights-Land-Rover-Defender-200Tdi-300Tdi-/232280619868?hash=item361500fb5c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roverdrive Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 Thanks Western. Also found this link https://matchlessclueless.com/store/led-indicators/led-indicator-diode/ think I’ll pay a visit to Maplins tomorrow. Must be cheaper than RDX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Certainly cheaper to do it yourself, if you know how and have the tools to modify the bulb holder. That last link is certainly not what you need to accomplish the task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roverdrive Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 Red90 I think that will do the trick. The two wires to the dash light are cut and connected to the diodes the tail then goes to the light and an earth wired to the other side of the light. ( I wouldn’t be using the scotchlocks!) Why do you say it won’t work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
