What are the best replacement rear lights.

[Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup)]

I am wanting to change my rear lights.

They are the trailer type lights at present.

My rear lights are so dim you would not know they are on.

Can anyone recommend any to me that are bright.

Happy to go away from the trailer type lights.

Hi, check out Bolton bits led lights

I have the carbon fibre lookalike housing from wsc

Check out the replacement LED lens units from Spiyda. They slip in behind the existing covers and are incredibly bright. @Kevin (Mr T) - Essex AO bought them at Stoneleigh

[Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup)]

Thanks men.

Will take a look-see.

Staffordshire Vehicle Components sell these LED lights. The carbon pods are the original ones from Westfield that came with the car and it is best to edge the pods with some flexible rubber u channel. The indicators need a resistor to stop them flashing fast.

Did you buy some pods before and they didn't fit?

[BugMan]

Geoff definitely go for LED of some sort

Yes, I bought some and my arches are narrow so they didnt fit at all.

@Geoffrey (Buttercup) - North Yorkshire AO when you have had time to fit them could you take some photos please. I am very interested too, but would like to see how much of an improvement they are before I buy.

Will do.

Put it this way. When my back lights are on, I still think they are off.

I have just replaced mine with RDX land rover style LED lights:

They work nicely, are very bright and clear and, with a bit of bracketry, you can mount them into the indicator pods on the nosecone too.

Will have to take some pictures of them fitted. It's down to your preferences at the end of the day, but I went through a few LED light clusters that were so dim when I tested them that I would be worried if they'd be seen on a sunny day.

Bear in mind you'll need to change the indicator flasher if moving from incandescent to LED. I found I could just change the shunt resistor in my existing flasher.

I just replaced the standard trailer type lens and fitted led bulbs, made a huge difference.

[Kevin Wood]

Yep, I saw someone at Stoneleigh selling PCBs that fit into the standard light clusters to upgrade them to LED too.

My clusters had seen better days, though, and I was replacing the wheel arches anyway, so I decided to do something different.
