NEILH:
HI I HAVE READ IN HERE ABOUT CHANGING THE REAR LIGHT CLUSTERS ON THE DICOVERY 300 TO GET INDICACTER LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS ON THE SIDE CLUSTERS. BUT IM LOOKING TO JUST GET THE UPPER TAIL LIGHTS TO WORK ON MY 97 DISCOVERY 300 WITH OUT CHANGING THE CLUSTERS CAN ANYONE TELL MY IF THIS IS POSS, AND HOW. THANKS

Budgie:
If you look at the rear of the cluster you'll see that one section is blanked off. You can use this one for the tail lights.
Remove the cluster from the vehicle, cut the plastic blanking plate out and you should be left with a hole that a standard bulb holder will fit into (including cut-outs for the locking lugs).
On the main cluster wiring plug, work out which terminal feeds that light and run an extended wire from the bumper taillight wire into the connector on the cluster. You can get a female spade connector to push into the main wiring plug.
Put the bulb in a new holder and connect the wiring.

That should be it.  :wink:

You can do a similar thing with the foglights on a mk2 golf uk models have the fog on the o/s but if you knockout the blanking plug on the n/s you get twin rear fog lights

IN ADDITION I HAVE REMOVED THE CLUSTER THE BREAK LIGHT IS A DOUBLE ELIMENT AS IF IS MENT TO BE A TAIL LIGHT AS WELL CAN THIS BE ADAPTED TO WORK THANKS

Budgie:
Can't see any reason why not, it would save cutting the blank out and you just need to rewire it.

I did it as I described above so I had seperate tail & brake lights.  :wink:
