If it was the fuse, would it not suggest the tails wouldn't work either? Thanks for your help, im a student so i spend a lot of time away from my land rover. Making it difficult to make any sort of progress on things like this hahaha.

I'm not entirely sure to be honest off the top of my head.
Bear in mind the tails are on with sidelights and brake lights only when you brake so different switches and perhaps fuses.
The sidelights and tail could be fused as one and the brake on its own. The brake on incandescent (standard bulb) is higher wattage than the tail light.
Tail is 5w and brake 21iirc. âï¸âï¸God Bless the USA ðŸ‡¬ðŸ‡§ðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸ âï¸âï¸

Looking at the back of the plug from the RDX light (with the groove in the plug to the top) you should have left to right Black (Earth) Green (Brake) and Red (Tail light) Brake light circuit is fused seperately from side/tail lights so most likely this has blown causing the problem.

Dondiddy - I'm glad you clarified that, I thought it was on a separate circuit but wasn't going to say explicitly as I couldn't guarantee it.

Looks like that is the likely issue, just check the wires are correct as you mention and then the fuse. âï¸âï¸God Bless the USA ðŸ‡¬ðŸ‡§ðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸ âï¸âï¸

Well I've got the sidelights and brake lights from BoB now.

Also XS side repeaters to go clear on the front.
Not going to fit yet though.
Need the indicators and relay.
Thinking clear indicator on the front and amber rear. Also red brake lights for me.
I'm tending yo think of doing the double fog and reverse mod but going clear with the fog lights.
Makes things look a little more even and more light to boot.
Anyone got the same as this? âï¸âï¸God Bless the USA ðŸ‡¬ðŸ‡§ðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸ âï¸âï¸

I had a full set of LED lights from BoB on my 90 and they were great, no issues with them at all. Sadly, they stayed on thé 90 when I sold it.

However, I've just bought a set of 8 Wipac clear lens LED's from Simon at MPS Trading and I must admit they look better than the coloured lenses from BoB. The LED arrangement looks different and better in my view.

I've got clear lens fog and reverse to go on yet to complete the look.

As always Simon's customer service is excellent and the product is great. Well chuffed

2005 90 Td5 XS CSW - Utterly brilliant

1996 90 Tdi CSW - Uber reliable
1989 90 2.5 Petrol Hardtop - My first proper Landy

Simon is good, when I get around to getting my Dynamat for the front hopefully in Jan he will get my order.

P.s. If you want to pop by one day in the new year your still welcome too.

I also went for clear Wipac LED rear stop/tail units. Shape-wise they are identical to the original LR design which is what I wanted, and having closely compared them with the others that are available, the quality is very impressive, particularly given the price.

I really don't like any of the stuff RDX do. The quality is sometimes dubious, and their prices are ridiculous for what you're actually getting.

To be fair also, from what I have seen and had all makes can be of dubious quality including Le Perie and Wipac especially the former.
Can't beat my "LEP England" indicators at the moment, they have condensation in them all the time.
Even dried them out fully once and a day or two later back to square one,
