need4speed Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Just bought some new rear indicators to discover that they don't fit the tub. I bought later TD5 lamps seeing as I fitted a new TD5 chassis loom. Now find that the holes in tub are too small. Would it be better to enlarge the holes in tub to use later lights and loom connector or should I buy older 200tdi lights and adapt the loom?

western Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 the later standard sttyle lights should fit without any body mods, the bigger NAS lights will need some body mods to allow the to fit & not protrude outside the body line. not sure which ones you've got, a photo or weblink would help.

need4speed Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 No they def dont fit Ralph. They are too big for the hole in the tub. Also, the new style lamps i have bought have 2 fixing screws to go into the tub whereas there are 3 holes in the tub itself. Not near defender at he mo so cant take any pics just now.

western Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 they sound like the 300Tdi type lights which have the plug & socket & one part lense/backplate, looks like a file use job to make the holes bigger then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I'd make the holes bigger, they're a better light in my opinion Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frax Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I had the same problem. the two screws that hold the lens cover go through and attach the light to the body. I just used a burr on a drill to open up the body holes and drilled new mounting holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
