LED Lights
Having issues with the front sidelights on my 110. Continually blowing bulbs. Been to LR for it and they just change bulbs.
So I was looking for a set of LED lights to replace the whole set, front and rear. But nowhere does a like for like set. My front lights are clear and the read is coloured. But sets for sale are either all clear or all coloured.
I want to keep the look as per factory but in LED format. And it's going to be expensive to buy them individually.
So does anyone know for a set like I want? 110 D250 SE HT

Sorry my bad wording.
Front indicators are clear, like the side lights, rear tail lights and indicators are coloured.

I'm after an LED set that matches what I have now. I can buy them individually for £120. Just after a set but not at that price 110 D250 SE HT

I got a set clear front indicators and amber rear from bolt on bits, RDX set.
Fitted this afternoon work well.
Came with the relay as well. I went for a full kit.
But just indicators, sides and stop lights are £89.99

Look good as well. 110XS CSW TD5.

Just give Flatdog a ring I know they will mix and match their packages, or MUD UK. http://www.mudstuff.co.uk/products/electri...p-kit.html

Pick and choose which setup you want.

Not sure. LR have had it a couple of times and can find no fault. They last several months between blowing. So it's not a short or it would of blown quicker, I reckon 110 D250 SE HT

Could be a voltage spike instead.

I can't think of any shorts that would blow bulbs. It's generally over voltage that kills them, whether that be a long term low level, or short term high level. Either way, it could be damaging other things!

Any other bulbs not last long?

Any damage to the bulbs when they come out?

I thought blowing side light bulbs was just a normal defender thing. Both my wife's MY 15 double cab and my MY04 csw blew bulbs over and over until I replaced them with LED lights from bolt on bits. Ray

I have had a few times where the front side lights would just die on me. For a while I also suspected that I may have an electrical issue to look for but apparently it's normal, go figure. I just keep replacing them though I'm also thinking of eventually upgrading to LEDs once the coin is available.

Are you using 5W bulbs or 10W bulbs?

Not sure on wattage. The first couple of times, I just lived with it until I was passing the dealership, went in and managed to squeeze 5mins out of them to look at it and got them to change. 110 D250 SE HT
