I fitted LED lamps to both the internal lights, very bright.

Try MUD they do one or there's plenty on ebay once you've seen what to look for
It's good to be back from the dark side

I wouldn't bother using Mud-UK for an LED interior light.
As has been said eBay has loads of choices available and most are just a fraction of the £18.00 MudStuff are charging. Unfortunately I can't remember who I used but I got two with 20 LED's each from a UK seller for much less than half the Mudstuff price for one. Fitting couldn't be simpler and the difference they make is far superior to a standard bulb. |

careful with higher wattage filament bulbs, they could get hot enough to melt the light unit
LEDs must be the best way to go, low heat, low energy |

5 Watt ??
Mine had 10 watt as OE fit [but fitted with LED now]  Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant. |

In my other 90 I fitted Fluorescent triple tube caravan lamps front and rear, which is much brighter than LED and has better light spread.
But in this instance just wanted to fit a better bulb. I have never found LED's terribly reliable.(Before CREE bulbs) So if they are 10w, will change it to that. Thanks Peter |

I tend to agree but their not all bad. I find the cheaper the LED's are the less likely they'll be any good. The standard bulbs are IIRC 36mm 10w festoon as I replaced mine just the other day with 38mm LED's although they do fit it is slightly larger. I'd also steer clear of E-bay for any bulbs and use somewhere like Auto Bulbs Direct. ____\We|Will|Win/___

I remembered it was 10W on a Td5 and the 10AS will switch a total of 20W to ground. So i have 10W in the front, 5W in the middle and 5W at the tail door and a 1W LED strip on the tail door itself. 6yrs on, they all are still working. The defender has migrated, leaving the owner behind. |

 Cannot believe you would have missed this recent thread on that very subject
http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic17982.html You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |
