Just be careful on the length of the bulb as some are too deep to sit in the headlight bucket, especially if you’re going to put connectors in there, it’s mighty tight in there.

Bell you later Andy

If it helps I think I might have the part numbers from when I bought them from the LED Classic site - send me a PM if you want me to look through my files - they were not too bright as most were coloured but not all.

That'd be great if you could (i could possibly get them on order today!) - thanks very much.

This invoice shows the ones I bought for my 500 as can't find my previous invoice - the SKU number shows the colour of the LED's

Brilliant - is there one for the headlight? (in that....did you get one?) or should i say are they available?

[ComfySofa]

Got the order in. For anyone that wants to know the headlight is a BA20D - 28 quid! - dont mind though...the whole thing will now be running LED's across the board...!

I fitted the Land Rover LED headlamp unit in a 500 casing - my 400 has a none standard headlamp atm.

Not electrically related but on starting it last night it was leaking fuel out of the float bowls....nothing to do with Bryan - first and foremost  he made the box of sharpnel i gave him look like carbs again for which im eternally grateful - he did say at the time "ive set them as best as i can..." first and foremost its 20+ years since ive messed with carbs and its never turned out well! - is there anything i can adjust while theyre in situ - or do they have to come out for adjustment..?

Could be the float needles stuck, tap the bowls with the handle of a screwdriver to see if it shakes the needles/floate loose.
With the correct small screwdriver you can undo the screws holding the bowls on and as it wasnt too long ago they should undo to make sure floats are free and will cut fuel off when lifted

I fitted all LED to my silver 550, all of them blow within 6 month's . I even had to get Ash to make a box of tricks just to keep the LED on the number plate light. Now all back to standard bulbs apart from the number plate light

This lot on Andy’s is through the M unit so they won’t blow as they would running through old Honda OEM wiring. It’s all new wires going on so shouldn’t have any issues with things going pop.

Yes, i am aware of that Roo. But, other member do not. On my build i was advised by a member to put all LED's in and he reckoned they were the best thing since sliced bread. He knows who he is and forgot to mention that he had a M-unit and had upgraded every electrical component
