I support Bolt on Bit's looking into producing a SMD LED side repeater for the Defender TD5 / Puma.

Yes, I would purchase if available.

LED side repeaters

Why is it no company out there will sell these? Ideally using SMD LED's and E marked.
Same with the number plate light?
Tried the Le Perie number plate light and the LED's failed same day..

I contacted Bolt on Bits once and they said there could be something in the pipeline but nothing at all could be confirmed.

I've got some on my Dakar but I don't know where they were sourced.
You'll need to change your flasher unit if you tow.

Do you have any photos at all? All I've seen around is universal triangular ones that stick on which I highly doubt will look right on a Defender.
Already got an RDX relay.

There is a company that may provide something suitable. Realistically though it can be difficult to find anything OEM looking. But at only £7:99 these may be worth a punt......

1998 Defender 110 300 Tdi HT Alpine White

Was speaking to the Bolt On Bits guy at the Peterborough show, he is trying to design, or get someone to make a side repeater that has a swappable attachment to fit every LR from ancient to modern day. Even still, I suspect some time in the future, BoBs will sell one...! 1998 110 300Tdi White Hard Top

Universal indicator lights,or look for side marker lights,either way it may need a bit of modding.

A one size fits all that will take some designing, especially with early Defenders that have the large oblong size repeaters, against the more modern ones with the little square domes.

I just bought some of these and put the into the original fittings, they give a whiter light and match the other LED's well, cheap but effective option....

Perhaps we could do a sign up poll, and then forward it to them.
That might push them on to get something in motion quicker.
Just an idea..

Well thanks to the geniuses that are Brendan / Barbara & Peter @ Nakatanenga these are now available. I fitted my pair today and they are very good. Even brighter than expected too and the colour is bang on as well. Very pleased.

Looked on Overlander site and it says

These LED Side Repeater lights from Nakatanenga are suitable for Land Rover Defender 90/110/130 Am I right in thinking that these repeaters are a one size fits all from 1984 to present day. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

I'd imagine they fit TD5 onwards.

According to Mud that is the case, must be easy to design a fit all though perhaps by just using a flat back and a strong adhesive pad. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..
