I'm afraid not, it's a diy job, it's easy enough to do, a forum search should throw up a few threads

On the Puma (I've never had a TD5 Defender), the wire inside the engine bay (i.e. bulkhead to light unit) is Blue/Orange to the offside light, and Blue/Slate to the passenger side light (RHD vehicle).
I tapped-in to the driver's side light (Blue/Orange). Where the loom comes into the engine bay from the bulkhead, there's a round multiplug - I tapped-in just after that (i.e. about 7cm after the circular connector, as the cable heads towards the headlight). This link (see The Boy's pics & excellent write-up) is probably the one which will help most: http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic11570.html I've borrowd "The Boy"'s excellent pic here (this is the passenger side) - circular connector at top of pic:

IF it were me, I'd take the feed from the headlight, as above, or even behind the fuse panel.
I like to keep the relays all in one place (under the seatbox where the factory ones are) so i've made a loom up, with 3 wires going to the front of the vehicle (small trigger one for the relay, coming from said main beam feed) and two larger ones to feed the spots. This loom comes back into the fuse box, where the relay is, and then the power can either come from a spare terminal on the fuse box (especially if yours doesn't have electric windows or AC) or run the power back across the underside of the seatbox directly to the battery (with a fuse) it sounds long winded, but there is already a cable under the seatbox (the power from the battery to the fusebox) and making up the loom keeps it all very neat (I hate untidy wiring) and eliminates faults by crappy connections etc. Where in wilts are you? shout if you need a hand. |

I had the Land Rover harness (PART No. LR006815), and largely followed the instructions for that kit, the only variation being that I tapped-in to the harness as advised above, because it looked easier and neater than getting behind the dash...
If you want a copy of the instructions for PART No. LR006815, drop me a PM and I'll email them to you. (Or you can find them quickly by googling "LR006815 PDF") Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's) |

I am not fitting any lights but the bredth of knowledge and sheer warmth of response that a question receives always humbles me.
This forum can restore your faith that the world is not totally full of self centered scamming idiots. Go Defender2 go. 1951 80" S1 2.0 1995 110 300TDI 1995 90 300TDI |

I took my relay feed from the headlight and put the relays under the drivers seatbox as it's a short run for the main live wire
