They've been on my wish list for longer than I care to remember but never got around to getting some.

Adjusted my JW Speakers height today. Did it the simple way, park the truck on a level road, walk at least 40m away, and lower my head to see when each of the low beam lamps start to blind me. Then with a screwdriver adjust each of them up or down as required and make sure that both are identical height. Also checked the front fogs to make sure oncoming traffic will have no problems at all from my front lights. Driving tonight confirms beam is high enough, and same time none of the oncoming traffic has signalled me. Thumbs Up

Completed the lights height correcting today as per above I only did the Speakers low beam two weeks ago. Today I also corrected the level of one of the aux high beam halogen lights which had been pointing a bit too high. Again, did it the simple way, park the truck on level ground in front of a wall and check if both the beams of the aux lights are the same, if not as was the case here, it just takes a screwdriver to correct the aux lamps up or down.

Oh, and before that, ran the SVX through the car wash tunnel and properly towel dried it thereafter, and let it further dry out in todays sunny breezy weather. Mr. Green

Trailer lighting issues today, notice the lights going nutty today.
Defender it's self is fine but trailer attached it goes odd.
Although fiddled about and it worked fine once I abandoned my trip tonight to get stuff.
My guess is poor contact, shall have to clean the plug up Defender side and check the rear fot corrosion.
Both are high in my suspicion as suspects.

Big update for me Cool

Monday fitted led fog lights and wired them to landrover aux 2 switch, also fitted and wired up a 44" led lightbar to the roof and fitted a led work light for my winch

yesterday i removed the genuine side steps as they resembled swiss cheese, then set about removing the std sills ( not fun) as they havent being touched in 10 years. after adding to the swear jar countless times. Once this was done i fitted some tree sliders

Today i fitted a new xs cubby box from matt, and discovered td5's have a larger cubby box than pumas, also i fitted a galv transmission guard, extended the fuel tank breather 2004 TD5 Defender 90 xs station wagon

Fitted a relay to the lights. (although my existing lights had 14v across them so doubt I'll see a light upgrade but at least the switch may not burn out)

Did a few more of the SS bolts

Replaced the Screen hinge gasket to cure a leak

Very Happy
