If you have a td5 the indicator relay is behind the dash clocks. If you put the indicators on and feel which relay is clicking then just swap that one for the new one and follow the instructions in the pack. Ray

One last thing that is puzzling me is you can buy clear lense kits and black / smoked lense kits etc but don't the lights that have coloured lenses originally need to be coloured legally etc?

Not with these, they are factory approved as coloured.
Which obviously is very different to spraying over a standard light which is illegal. I have XS clear on the front and colours on the rear as standard but LED. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧 |

I've been looking over the options discussed here - thanks all, some good food for thought.
My current plan is to replace everything (except headlights) with LED, probably with clear/white finish. What's odd is that my 2005 XS has clear lensed front lighting and side repeaters, but the rear has coloured lenses. Also, I appear to have "NAS" style fog/reverse lights in that they are large and circular... I have two questions: Does this mean someone has previously mucked about with it? It seems odd that it's half clear, half coloured. Does the "NAS" lighting mean I haven't got to try to get the trim out of the rear quarters to change the standard bulbs for LED? |

I've got RDX which have been fine, big improvement on the bulb type. Its all personal preference but I like the original shape but with a mixture of clear and red for the tail/stop light. I did have one of the front side lights out a couple of weeks ago but it was a wire into the original plug that was the issue not the RDX side.

Grr - trying to find a kit to do the whole lot, seems impossible.
Surely someone sells one with 2 sides, 2 front indicator, 2 indicator wing repeaters, 2 rear indicators, 2 stop/tail, a NAS fog, NAS reverse and relay?! Plus I'd like the econoseal connectors for the NAS lights rather than having to cut off a perfectly good connector and then wire them in myself... |

I'm sure I have seen a seller on eBay doing the full (Wipac) set - a boxed set of 2x front side, 4x indicator, 2x stop/tail plus a relay & then bundled with the NAS fog & reverse lights.
Have also just bought a couple of econoseal plugs on eBay for the NAS fog & reverse. |

Bolt on bits do a full kit that's plug and play
Edit: you might have to get fog and reverse seperate but again you can get them plug and play as a kit from bolt on bits, not cheap though. Ray My build thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic17615.html |

Search for "Land Rover Wipac led" on eBay - they're about £160 a set including the number plate lamp too

Right - fitted my Wipac set (early birthday present from in-laws) although mildly annoyed to discover the fog light didn't have a LR connector on it after specifically tracking down a seller who confirmed they would be supplied with connectors already attached.
I cut off the connection from the loom and then was forced to wire it in with connection block as my crimp connector tubes turned out to be terminations! I covered the connection in gaffer though, so hopefully it'll be ok  - what do you reckon?
Ditto the numberplate light... |
