mpb Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Is it easy to covnvert the Defender rear lights to the NAS lights? Is it as simple as buy them and bolt 'em on? It's easy aslong as you dont mind adjusting the body work with a file. I had to file out the holes on mine to get a flush fit with the edge of the body work. If it's a 200tdi you will need to modify the wiring as later 300tdi lights plug in. You can get the bits to modify your wiring from Vehicle Wiring Products.

Top90 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I just had to move the brake/sidelight holes in a bit. The indicators were fine. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mr_wuffles Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Is it a 200 Tdi your fitting in them to? If so you'll need to make up the harnesses. I've found the easiest way to cut the holes out is with a jigsaw and a file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddyplugger Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 No, its a 1989 Defender, but interestingly I found your website very informative Nick, cheers! (Quick Plug for you! - http://www.nicksjungle.co.uk/nas_lights/naslamps.htm ) I think buying the lenses I want, and go armed with a file and saw! What could possibly go wrong?!

gruntie Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 The new LED version of the NAS lamp is now available from Premier Wiring. Unfortunately, cheap they are not, but they are the business.........I think I have just about persuaded myself that a complete set is an absolute necessity.

Guest diesel_jim Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 If you need to order these plugs, does anyone know what to ask for or what they are called? try "Harness, extension", part # STC1188. this comes up on my microcat as a 6" or so wire loom, with the moulded plug on the end. reckon you could solder and heat shrink it onto the LR loom no problem.

The vehicle wiring products webpage http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.co.uk/V...2/lights-2.html list them with the lights.

Guest mr_wuffles Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Trevor i've a factory soiled wiring loom with these connectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Dunno if I want to change the whole loom - I was planning to transfer the bulkhead and wiring intact. However, if it was cheap enough, I could buy it to cut bits off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nas90 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 STC 4637 TAIL/STOP HARNESS EXTENSION STC 1188 INDICATOR HARNESS EXTENSION Be VERY CAREFUL with these extender cables, I did some wiring on the NAS last year and did the right colours got the wrong result. My old stock extenders were found to be different to the 2004 stock so bench test first! They are primarily designed for Discovery (I think) which is probably why Land Rover changed the wire colour function! BTW I had some aluminium spinnings made about 18 months ago because I was fed-up with changing the light fittings on a very regular basis, although they have rubber washers etc they do not stand-up to the rigours of off-roading and jet washing. Since making the caps which fit inside AMR 3850, extend around the back of the unit in the wheel arch I have not had to replace any of the rear light fittings. On Green Laning trips I would always get a "left rear stop not working Dave" or similar over the CB. I placed a note on the USA forum at the other place but no-one across the pond seems to get the same problems! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
