Dave 63 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 All, I'm insulating the rear of my defender 90 and fitting bench seats, and thinking of replacing the interior light and installing LEDs in the rear. Has anyone fitted these, and which would they recommend Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smego Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I have 3 banks of about 20 LED's each about £1.50 from china they are great mega bright been in about 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierran.M.110 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 just fitted a swivel LED light bar in mine does the job and easy to fit, very similar to this one: http://www.ebay.ie/itm/12V-ALUMINIUM-24-LED-SWIVEL-RAIL-INTERIOR-READING-LAMP-CABIN-LIGHT-SWITCH-/190731078926?pt=AU_Boat_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c68754d0e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakmaster Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 These sound like what I need - anybody know where to get them? my ebay search skills have deserted me cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diablo Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Mudstuff sell similar stuff, not swivel though and at a bit of a premium if you ask me. I have one of these http://www.mudstuff.co.uk/low-profile-interior-large-led-light.html Though it was much better priced when I bought it. I have it in the middle of the roof, behind the front headlining. Gives a good amount of light out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I have a smaller version of what Kierran has mounted just above the rear door on the inside where I can reach the switch. Came from eBay, cheap as chips, job done, 2 years on still doing it's thing . HTH Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibernot Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I've got one of the below, just a direct replacement for original courtesy lights but it's a bank of led's. It's more than bright enough, really really impressed with it (it's nothing like the naff Halfords style led interior bulbs): Defender Upgrade LED Interior Light / Courtesy Light Panel http://bit.ly/MoilUy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowasaki Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 If you want your light in the rear of the tub to go on and off switched by the same switch as the front light which means when the front light is in auto position both will come on with the doors opening, on with the on and off with the off then you can do that by opening up the front light and soldering two wires to the contacts for the bulb. Once you've done that these two wires become the live and ground for the rear light which will do whatever the front one does. If you want both to come on with the safari door opening too you can easily do that by taking the purple and blue wire going into the front light and extend this along the roof edge to the back door where you need to fit a door switch like the front one making sure its screw goes to ground properly.
