2008 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Tonga Green

Wiring up spots

Right,
being a bit of a heavy handed bafoon when it comes round to the finer points of land rover ownership i am slightly dubious about wiring said units into my vehicles intricate wiring harness.

Oh and the fact that i will probably melt something ! set it on fire spike the ECU are also niggliing me a bit.

so, the question is do i do it

Or is this something that should be done by somebody who knows about vehicle wiring

DING !!

Is it spliced into the vehicles FULL beam or can it be dash mounted on a switch to come on regardless of the FULL beam being on or not.

I did see a while back some PIAA Spots that are to replace the WARN units on the 09 G4 vehicles.
These had a very trick switch that has a number 2 on that fits in the correct space on the dash.

Anyway,

as always any info will be much apreciated. DEFENDER XS CSW 08 TONGA GREEN

The switch is apparently avaliable as a part on its own, except i keep getting it as Front Fog Light on parts.

That said - it definately comes as part of the aux. wiring kit which is costly at £90 but includes everything needed to make it work.

If you get the genuine LR spotlights from a dealer at £270 - they also come with them. Mike

mike

you are the font of all knowledge !

the spots look pretty dismal from the dealer but the wiring for them looks pretty substantial !
That said and following on from our conversation last night, how much can you purchase the Loom for

And again following on from conversation EXPENSIVE as ever ! DEFENDER XS CSW 08 TONGA GREEN

2008 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SW Zermatt Silver

Yes that's the part (YUG000540LNF) I made up a harness and the switch cost me about ₤8 including postage to Australia. Over here it's not even a listed part

Pin outs are:
1 feed
2 illumination (take from pin 2 on another switch - lights up with other dash lights then)
4 ground
5 line out to lights (relay)

It takes a black connector, which I couldn't get and which is part of the wiring harness that LR supply. 110 2.4TDCi

The pins on the switch are all numbered, bit hard to read as they are down inside the switch (against the respective pins) from memory its 1-5 right to left, but double check.

Yes that part does have the 2 and light symbol.

Found the other thread on the forum: http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic552.html?highlight=switch

Dave's 101 posted up some links to pic's of the switch in this thread. 110 2.4TDCi

I wired a bank of those switches on my disco (they are the same as RR classic and d2

) both with genuine connectors and small crimped connectors - its not too hard as i recall.

thanks for the confirmation of switch facia type. Mike
