its quicker to change the lamp then the bulb anyway by a few seconds
you want the ones with the correct plug so plug straight in dash lights for side light on will be the same dash light for indiacators will be the same dash light for the trailer indiacator light you will need the rdx adjustable led flasher unit bolt on bits on ebay do whole kits inc fog and reverse ( rdx ones but I think the fog and revervse don't match ) I think if you want all matching lights you need to go wipac there are a few other 4x4 places that do them on ebay as well have a look and compare prices its up to you |

There has been various comments about how water tight some of the cheaper LED units sold on ebay are.
It might be worth considering using something like Capt Tolley cure whilst fitting them. Brendan |

Never had an issue with water with my RDX lights.
The fog and reverse match is a proper pain though so I'd advise Wipac lights with RDX relay. I was lucky to get a match but they aren't available now. Another option is RDX lights but Wipac fog and reverse that match. Paddocks are good for the Wipac bits the relay BoB's site / E-bay. An LED reverse is bright as ....... Found that out recently.  |

I have NAS reverse LED to fit. Does the rear fog lamps switch LED still have the orange dot glowing when using the NAS LED version?
Looks like I'll try RDX as the resistor seems the better & RDX also do the coloured lens versions, same as Wipac.

RDX front and rear side-lamps, indicators and flasher unit. Look standard, work well, stay watertight, tick - tick relay. What more do you want?

must say I haven't had any issues with the wipac led flasher relay, just put the hazards on and turn the dial till the warning light stops flashing

I just sold my RDX stop/tails, they were excellent quality and after 3-4 months of living on my green 110 showed no signs of water ingress - the quality must have improved

So have you managed to set you wipac relay so you don't have the trailer warning light flashing all the time then? I may have to have another fiddle with the adjuster if so! 2001 TD5 110 County Station Wagon - sold 1970 Series 2A Station Wagon 1970 Series 2A hard top 1960 Series 2 1972 Series 3 |

rdx adjustable units don't work with led trailer lights (it works the indicator lamps but not the dash light )
if you adjust it down to put the trailer dash light on with trailer fitted with leds the dash light also comes on without trailer connected from rdx on ebay The trailer must be using incandescent bulbs or LED lamps with load resistors for the Trailer light to flash. It cannot detect trailers solely on LED lamps it will make them flash ok but will not flash the trailer light as the extra load is too little to detect. Some have tried to create a 4 Pin Flasher Relay but they state it might put the trailer light on when you are not pulling a trailer plus it can only handle 40 watts ours can handle 140 watts. The WIPAC one just keep the trailer light on when indicating without a trailer. |
