Are they not just 'plug and play?'

**EDIT**According to this they are!

http://www.mudstuff.co.uk/trucklite-phase-7-led-headlamps.html

"For all Defenders fitted with the standard headlamp/sidelight set-up we can supply a piggy-back harness to provide the supply feed to the integral sidelight within the Truck-Lite LED Headlamp.

The side light harness is fitted with Econoseal connectors that plug directly into the the Defender sidelight wiring (93-On). The flyleads connect to the corresponding wires on the back of the headlamps to create a simple plug & play connection to feed the integral sidelight within the Truck-Lite LED headlamp."

Your issue is most likely down to the connections you made on the lamp itself as you state! If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

You might need to unplug the dim dip resistor (rh wheelarch near the aerial)
