Help on the amber side lamps (As on American models of RRS)

Hello there,

I want to activate the amber side lamps, as on the american models of the Range rover sport, but I am unsure on how to do it.

I asked the Parts department at the Land Rover dealership and the guy I was talking to didn't seem to have a clue.

2 Questions really:

1) Are the bulbs actually fitted to the UK-Spec range rover sport?

2) If the side bulbs are already fitted, how to activate them??

Any help on this issue will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Sunny.

Hi Sunnydude and welcome to the forum, I'm pretty certain this one has been asked before and I think you will find that the answer is "no este possible" for European cars.I think also that you will find that on USA spec RRS's these are not indicator lights but lights that come on with the headlights. Have you tried a search in the "Search" function 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I think that better solution would be making them crystal clear instead of amber... no idea how though 2014 Mercedes-Benz S500

Sunny, the lights you are reffering to are called "Side Running Lights". They are a legal requirement on vehicles destined for the US market.

UK and ROW vehicles have a completely different light assy fitted. They do not have the bulbs or the electrical harness required to retro fit them either.

Jay that headlight modification is a bit extreme. I can just imagine my 'better half' allowing me to bake my headlight assembly in the oven. Arctic Frost TDV6 SE.

At MPH06 I noticed that a lot of the RRS's had "smoked" head and tail light clusters but it appeared to be a film stuck over the lense rather than anything as extreme as "baking at 190C for 15 minutes"! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Actually there is one guy tried to modify the front headlamps of a D3, it has the same principle as the RRS.. check this out it might be useful for you, I believe that the head and tail lights had the same lamp holder.

I like / love the look of the clear side bits and black inners of the headlamps.

But boy oh boy this guy must be bored!

Sunny,
this can actually be done with a little elbow grease and minor electrical know-how. I have a UK spec sport and have done this modification. For the front side lights, the bulb holder is already there and you will need to get some bulbs and some wiring. I used the marker lights off my old ML270 which fit perfectly. For the rear lamps you would need to actually drill into the lights socket to be able to fit the lights. WIring is merely tapping into the running lights. If you can wait till the weekend I post some pics on this mod. RRS Supercharged Java Black /Ebony 1st Edition
