Does any one know if there are LED bulb replacements for the brake light, turn signal or tail lights available, and, if so, from where? I've seen color appropriate leds available for MGs and thought it might help with making the stop lights brighter. Thanks.
To over come the small brake and tail lights along with the poor backup lights I installed 4 inch LED combo stop/turn/tail and 4 inch 55watt floods. I went with the combo lights because I also wired a trailer tow plug with electric brakes at the same time. You could actually use a 4 inch red and a 4 inch amber if you wanted to keep the independent turn signals. Not a very good pic of the lights as it was supposed to show the tire chains but you get the idea.

I converted my entire truck (SIII) to LEDs a while back. I bought them on eBay. Much brighter. You'll need to replace the indicator and hazard flasher with one appropriate for LEDs.
Busboy, you have a nice looking rig but I'd like to keep the original lights. Apis, where on eBay did you find the LEDs? In the Parts section?
Just search for 1157 and 1156 in the colors you want.
Thank you.
Thanks, and I know it's not everyone's cupa tea that's why I showed a picture. I wanted reliability first, size second, I don't know how others feel but it seems the Landrover doesn't get respect from other drivers, I used to almost get rear ended lots I even installed another set of rear lights mounted to the hard top but when the top is off you lose the extra lights. Going with these 4 inchers solved the problems I was looking to cure and they can be bought almost anywhere in a pinch.Quote:

For signal, tail and tail/stop bulbs I'd only consider their 45 led 'tower' type 1156 & 1157's. These are very bright and importantly, the 1157's have a sharp difference between the tail and stop intensities. Some of the others range from barely adequate to dim.
I went to mostly led's in the stock housings on my SIII. I left 1 incandescent signal on each side to work the flashers.
I like the idea of bigger stop lights and, if you want to keep close to original, bright led bulbs in the NAS Defender round units are a good combo. Here is mine w/ the NAS Defender signals, I may yet get red lenses and use them for tail/stop:

I like that 45 LED tower for brake lights, but may try the 3W high intensity with lens for the other positions.
