2013 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 USW Baltic Blue

Headlamp Level Switch Illumination Fixed-ish

Like most puma owners with the headlamp level switch, the bulb had blown, so I set about replacing it. Helpfully the pins on the switch are large enough to cut off the old bulb and solder on a new one. i tried an LED with an inline resistor as the feed is 12v, its a bit bright so I'll order some film to diffuse the light a bit.
The LED was 3mm prewired from eBay, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262762466125?mk...media=COPY

Good fix. Add another resistor inline to drop the current to the LED, it'll dim down then. You might need to play with the value to get it right.
