Hi Jock

Just fitted these to with no issues, have you tried the original lamps to rule out your brake light switch?

Cheers

Hi John,

Yeah just been out checking the fuse for the switch also and i plugged in the trailer and the brake lights not working on it either so i reckon its the switch. Thanks for your speedy response.

Cheers

Jock

LED lights are polarity sensitive. Land Rover changed the orientation of the positive and negative leads in the indicator and sidelight connectors around 1998. If your vehicle was built after this date you may need to switch the connector pins in the plug. This is very easy to do and only needs to be done on the indicators and sidelights. It is quite safe to try the lights on your vehicle first; no damage will be done to the vehicle wiring or the lights. If you try one of the lights and it does not work, you will need to change the pins around in the connector plugs on the lights themselves. Alternatively you can cut the wires and re-join them to the right positive and neg.

I know this the case with sidelights and indicators so it may also be true for stop lights. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..
