IF you think that is expensive then try the Ligthforce wiring kit from Devon. Thick end of £52!

30 amp relay is what? £2-3?

Land Rover switch and housing sub £10? The switches in most of the kits are unlikely to be compatible with the blank switch panels in a Puma

A fuse and wire? Say a couple of £ if you don't have them already.

I dont always say this so sit down...Leeds is right Milestone Thud

The LR switch might be more like £11/12 now and a few £ for the connector - but its so far better than the ring its not worth a debate Mike

My word with those kits...its a good kit but its not very flexible and its expensive for what it is.



I would second that.... the kit comprises of all the parts needed.... but, the wires are too high a gauge, the conectors are as good as a chocolate tea-pot and the relay is not weatherproof at all.

The best universal kit I have worked with is the Lightforce one:

Yes it is £50+ but the quality shows through. Otherwise... cheaper option would be to just buy all the seperat components and put it all together Thumbs Up

Just as a warning though. Yes by buying a cheap kit you might save £35, but if it melts through, you either have to buy a new better quality kit (Buy cheap, buy twice) or at the other end of the scale, you need to buy a new truck because yours has set alight.

The switch is £6, orded it yesterday from Guy Salmon in Sheffield.
Online sellers all wanted £7 plus £6 postage!

Part number - YUG000540LNF

You dont have to have the plug, you can just solder onto the pins at the back of the switch and put a bit of heat shrink over it.

So far the loom has cost me £6, hopefully finish the job over the weekend.
