rear lights are rubbish

Guardian.:
how comes your indicators work correctly without the resistors, as everyone i spoke too insisted i would need them, i ignored there advice, and had to go back and buy them after wiring it all in, without a resistor they flash far to fast.

Bob696:
you can buy a special relay that removes the need for the resistors. Take the old one out and put the new one in. Take out the old bulbs and replace with new LED ones. Did mine at the malvern show a couple of years ago and only used a screwdriver.

Something like this on ebay 280171573733   Not saying this is the right one for a defender though

Guardian.:
thats handy, noone told me you could get one of them, as ive had to put a resistor in each circuit, not that it matters that much.
I replaced the whole light unit, i think they are what you call the nas spec led units, they are bigger than the origional light units, and flat fronted as opposed to the pointy lens.

Range Rover Blues:
I've bought several sets of |LED bulbs and TBH I'm dissapointed, they are nowhere near bright enough.  As a guide I use the 21 watt bulbs for my sidelights :roll:

Guardian.:
suppose you get what you pay for with these then, as mine for just the 2 x indicators and 2 x stop / tails was nearly £200, but they are quality items and work brilliantly.
i get all my electrical stuff from hella ditributor now as cheap = agro, same as when i used to think i was saving buying britpart, genuine for me now, as most pattern stuff is definately crap, forever changing it.
