TheBeastie Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I need to replace sidelamps and indicators since the white base units are crumbling. THe fron N/S indicator is now terribly sporadic and I am uncomfortable with it. I was going to go for NAS but have just read about Bearmach LED units. They seem very pricey and I wondered if anyone knew how good they were. Alternatively could I try to source LED clusters to fit inside NAS units and get roughly the same effect for significantly less £££s (I hope)? Any thoughts would be helpful.

western Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I'd just fit the later 300Tdi sidelight units, the bulb holder is seperate & the lens/backplate is one piece, just 2 screws hold them to the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, go for these or the NAS units until LED prices drop and become more common, indicators also need additional jiggery pokery to work. To fit either late Defender or NAS to yours you need new plugs but if you look on fleabay there are usually guys offering NAS units with plugs pre wired for earlier motors. Original lamps are even cheaper if you buy a full set and shop around, NAS do look good though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I haven't used the NAS type plugs, just 2 of the smallest red female spade connectors, 1 on each wire both have a wrap of insulating tape to stop any shortouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeastie Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 Thanks - useful to get a better informed view. I do rather like the NAS style, so something like http://www.paddockspares.com/pp/DEFENDER/A..._-_8_lamps.html would do the job and I can make up my own connectors using small VWP female spades? If so, then I will get order off quick since sooner it is fixed the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Beastie, The NAS lamps look really as well as having tail lamps bright enough for the car behind to see I would recommend using the proper connectors, which are a piece of tiddle to fit.
