2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Java Black

Which Landreiziger Loom?

I'm going to put in a headlight relay loom from Landreiziger.nl and there are three options, not sure which is one to get.

Plastic connectors https://shop.landreiziger.nl/lichtversterk...elais.html
Ceramic connectors https://shop.landreiziger.nl/lichtversterk...toren.html
Removable Hella connectors https://shop.landreiziger.nl/lichtversterk...toren.html

Any suggestions? 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

I'd say ceramic if your using incandescent lights and plastic or ceramic if LED.

May as well go ceramic.

Are you buying direct? This is the one I'd be interested in over alternatives as it's been highly recommended.

H4 connectors are standard on a Defender. _\Hennessey|Venom| F5/___

Use option 1 or option 2. Option 2 with ceramic H4 plugs is even cheaper. Option 3 is with removable H4 plugs, no need for that with a Defender.
Rgds, Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

I'm looking at getting a loom made here in the U.K. through a chap on Angry Puma's FB group, but if that doesn't come off I'll be buying direct from Landreiziger. And, based on these replies, I'll get the ceramic connectors. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

What's wrong with just buying one of these?...

There's a few comments about that suggest the quality of the boomslang one can be a bit variable. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

I have a Boomslang one that is wired incorrectly I.e. The wire colours not correct and earth too small a gauge in comparison to power wires.
Maybe a copy though, no idea I didn't purchase it myself it was a gift.

I was thinking of wiring back to battery but now realise the benefits of supply from alternator direct with a shorter cable run, less voltage drop.

Does the Land Reiziger have mounting tabs for the relays? (Not sure of their exact name)

The ceramic connectors are a good thing to reduce heat and prevent any melting that plastic connectors could suffer from.
I don't think that is a common issue but prevention is a good idea. _\Hennessey|Venom| F5/___

Check the connections before installing if you get a boomslang. I pulled out a wire from a poorly crimped spade connector with just a gentle tug.
Easily rectified on the bench - a pain once installed.

Every other manufacturer does fine with plastic connectors, it's only 5A!

I will relay feed mine when I get a chance, I'll just hack up the existing loom however.
