Side lamp, indicator LED upgrade questions


Recommended Posts

Hey all, sorry if this has been covered already.

A few questions:

Is there any difference between Wipac S6060LED : http://www.wipac-aftermarket.com/acatalog/Side_Rear_Fog.html

and Wipac AMR6514LED : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-DEFENDER-90-110-130-WIPAC-LED-FRONT-SIDE-LIGHT-73mm-AMR6514LED-/261325720866

Regarding installing indicators in LED, I see I have to change the flasher relay? Is the Wipac unit ok or do I believe the info in the following ebay link and only buy RDX?

cheers

Buy the RDX relay, it works the trailer light properly which you need for the new MOT if you have towing electrics. As far as I know the Wipac one doesn't do this. Don't know about the lights, I have the RDX ones which are excellent.

Ok, I just edited my profile to add my location ;) No MOT here, and my trailer light has not worked for many years. The OEM LR flasher relay failed early on. When we looked at it, it looked like something from a doctor who tv prop. My be a good concept, but very poorly made. Infact, in summer here, you pretty much can not see the warning lights on the dash in the day time. Poor design and tiddle poor globes/electrics make sure of that...any way, I digress.

Id like to keep it simple. Will the Wipac unit make the new LED indicators work, along with the standard bulb type in the rear. I also tow and my trailer has LED lights...

If the RDX unit is simply better quality, im happy to go that way.

Are the RDX lights better quality than the Wipac?

They do stop and tail too - seem to be the only ones I can find from a known company as it were rather than taking a punt on ebay.

Thoughts and feedback appreciated as always?

Paddocks stock a range of LED lights, same as the LR lights. A friend has had them installed on his 110 for a while now and they are working well. Having just had to wedge a sidelight bulb in my 88 after the fitting failed yet again, the next time a bulb goes I'll be replacing the fittings with LED units the same.

Looks like just globes. No way was I waisting money on my crappy LR fittings and cracked, faded lenses. From everything I can gather, the new complete LED units (either Wipac or RDX) are better built all round, sealed unit meaning more water proof.
