I looked at them but just bought LED festoon bulbs instead.

Had the same problem , tried an LED bulb, blew the fuse, so bought the Mud unit - very pleased with it.

I have the MUD lights in front and rear of my 90. They are very bright. Indeed, at 5'7 the shine right in my eyes. If I rise up a bit then its not an issue. I would think anyone less than 5'8 would be dazzled. However, the red light in a black defender does look rather smart. Adjustments: Startech Steering Wheel | MUD Interior LED lights | Wipac crystal headlights with osram nightbreaker bulbs | Alpine CDE195BT
To do list: Outside rear facing LED lighting | subwoofer and speakers |

If anyone that's done the upgrade wants to offload their old interior lights give me a shout!
I'm after a couple in decent condition. blackwolf: fancy another trip to the Parcelforce lady?  |

^^^^^Stacey007, I used the same(very similar if not the same) that I got from Ebay. Had them in Front, Middle and Rear of 110. Great at first, then over time cells would go out until one day when I could smell plastic burning. Overtime the doors were open and you were getting in or out a very weak joint in the wire was fusing and glowing red. I dumped them before they caused a fire and got the MUD ones instead. Expensive, but great plus I have peace of mind that they came from Kevin/Faye.

I went for the ones from 4x4Overlander. Absolutely superb. Easy to fit and very bright. Look for a picture at the end of this post: http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic47089-15.html Edzi |

I was having a discussion with Peter at Nakatanenga about these interior LED lights earlier this week. It seems that Kevin at Mud brought his replacement light out about a month before the Nakatanenga one. December 2015 compared to January 2016 so yes Kevin did just beat Nakatanenga to the post on this one.
The Nakatanenga one is a replacement unit so looks original/factory fitted and does not need a separate plinth. Available in warm white or cool white, both with a red night time facility so that your night time vision is not spoiled. Brendan |

Great to hear, as my interior light has bit the dust. Be another upgrade on the cards next year. Pain not having a light in when you get it the car.

Installed the MUD lights in the front and rear of my 110. Very bright indeed - in retrospect maybe a bit too bright, but we'll see if I keep them

I went for these led replacement lamps. Great at first but after less than a month, individual LEDs started to fail (maybe 4 out of 10) and the remaining ones were only at half brightness. Got a replacement from the seller on eBay no problem, but after less than a week, it's going the same way. Current Steeds: 2015 110 UW in Grasmere Green 2003 BMW F650 the Hack 2000 Elise 1992 Ducati 888 (no longer in bits, yahoo) 1990 TDR 250 (in bits again) 1988 TDR 250 (no longer in bits) and for sale |
