That is exactly what Land Rover did to mine- they piggy-backed the second onto the first.

Thanks for the reply. Yea got the bit about second reverse light, just want to keep the back end in balance (OCD!) and throw some extra light to the rear of the vehicle when reversing at night.

You should find that there is a spare fog and reverse plug on each side as standard, I know they were there on my TD5 1990 Defender 110 200TDI Camper - now converted to Td5 power

Anyone know if the spare fog/reverse light plugs are there on the Puma?
I've been thinking of doing something similar on mine but was thinking of putting reverse lights were the existing fog/reverse lights are and using LED NAS size fogs in new plinths to avoid cutting big holes in the bodywork for the depth required for the standard 21w bulbs.

Couldn't find any spare plugs on my late 07 110, had to swap the fog and reversing lights over as its a LHD, just swapped the light units over then swapped the two wires over in the multiplug on the top of the bulkhead where the body loom meetrs the bulkhead loom - simples!

Hi from Germany everybody. First post today, been reading for a while as I got ready for the collection of my 2012 90 Pick-up from the UK. The pickup will join a Disco 3 in the family, that we love a lot, but that also needs its attention...
As I am spending most of Boxing Day in the garage to get the car ready for its German MOT I had to bring this thread back up as I have difficulties to locate the bulkhead connector where I have to swap the wires for reversing and rear fog light. Looking at the lamps at the back of the car the wires are solid grey and solid white, but I cannot find a multi-connector with the same wire colours for fog and reverse. Is there anybody with a picture of the connector and its location. Your help is much appreciated. All the best, Norbert |

You are looking for a 24-way grey connector beneath the right hand front seat

I swapped at the bulkhead in the engine bay, just where the main loom leaves the bulkhead area and changes into the chassis loom.

Guys,
Thanks for the fast help. I looked at the multi plug under the seat earlier today, but it had no solid white wire. Any chance to get a pin location for the wires? Thanks a lot in advance. |

So, just to close the loop on my fog light/reversing light swap.
In deed, on a 2012 puma the 24 pin multi plug is under the drivers seat. The grey connector is held to the bottom of the floor plate by Christmas tree fasteners. Yesterday I only pulled the plug out and could not find the grey and white wires that are connected to the fog and reversing light. In fact, the loom changes the wire colours at the plug. When pulling out the socket of the plug from the floor board I did find the solid white and and grey wires. I then pulled out the red locking tab from the connector and unlocked the pin connectors with a very small screw driver and pulled the wires out to swap them. Refitted everything and then swapped the two lenses at the rear of the car. I'm now good to get the car MOT'd tomorrow. Headlights were replaced by good as new ones from somebody that upgraded to LED's right after delivery of his defender. Below two pictures I took in case anybody needs to go through a LHD/RHD conversion. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge |
