uninformed Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 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? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390722018504?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 cheers Serg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Smith Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Smith Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Sorry, just read it again. My Rear fog isn't RDX, it's home made, as is the reversing lamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Buy the RDX relay, it works the trailer light properly which you need for the new MOT if you have towing electrics. Only if you have 13-pin, 7-pin is not tested for function Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uninformed Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uninformed Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 I guess there is only one way to find out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taffia Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Just to keep everything together has anyone tried these? http://www.outbound4x4.co.uk/shop/exterior-accessories/lighting/defender-led-sidelights 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? Taffia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 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.

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.
