LED Lighting?

I've just bought a TD5 Disco, albeit with very high milage.

There's a few leaks and common issues like keys and the drivers door not unlocking on the central locking, but apart from that and the smell of dog, she's a good bus.

Now is was wondering if any company sold a full LED lighting kit for these?

Preferably on which I didn't need to fit a ballast resistor?

If somebody would be kind enough to point me in the right direction, then that would be great.

Thankyou

No u have to make up your own kit, u will need series resistors in the indicator circuit which has been known to have issues after fitting LED bulbs.

I've done mine, with the exception of the indicators, front foglights and headlights.
I just bought the led equivalent from fleabay. I used "CANBUS" error free types, just in case the BCU started complaining. A bit more expensive, but ....
For the reversing lights I used CREE LEDs, the normal ones were a bit dim, but the cree ones light up the whole street.
I used LEDs of the same colour as the lenses, just in case the lens ever got cracked and also because the blue-ish tint on white LEDs can sometimes make the red lights at the back appear a bit purple-ish.
I do have a set of resistors ready to convert the indicators.
One small problem I did come up against was current leaking from the tail light circuit to the brake light circuit resulting in the high level brake light not behaving itself. I cured that problem with a handful of diodes for "current steering". PM me if you require details.
The headlights I’ve left as the original fittings but replaced the bulbs with "Nightbreakers".


　

I like the idea of LED lighting and have recently replaced my interior lights with LEDs.

I tried a low cost interior lamp and that failed almost instantly. I then bought more expensive Osram versions and they have been perfect and much brighter than the old filament types.

I would change the others but have some reservations.

I am reluctant to replace the exterior lamps because I suspect that they are not road legal. My existing lamps have been very reliable so I see no point in taking an unnecessary chance at a relatively high cost.

One of the advantages for me is that the LED's use less power. That is why I changed the interior ones because I often leave the doors open.

If the LED lamps have resistors to fool the Can-Bus detection surely that will negate the lower power advantage of LED lighting. I assume the resistor will drain the same power as the original filament because that is what is being detected. Perhaps I misunderstand the way it works.

Just my personal thoughts on the subject.

I've thought about getting these , what do you think ?
