Really Need Advice On 2012 Autobiography Conversion

Hi all,

I'm really hoping someone can help me ...

Just about completed putting a genuine 2012 conversion kit on my 2005 Sport, the last job to tick off the list is fixing the quick indication you get from changing the lights.

I went to my local auto electrics specialist and they told me you need to get some resistor to wire in to solve the problem. I am wondering whether or nor these will solve the problem for both front and back lights? :-

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360449150191?ssP...1438.l2649

I have the genuine Land Rover LED 2012 lights.

Any advise / comments are much appreciated!

Thanks

Scott

I don't know if they are the right ohms or watts to fix your problem but i thought it was only the indicators on the dash that flashed too quickly and not the front and rear lights Confused If they are the right resistors then yes they will cure your problem, someone with a bit more tech knowledge will be along soon to advise. Looking forward to the pictures. Thumbs Up

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the advice.

That's right its just the indicators on the dash that are going mental, from outside they flash at the correct speed. Reading back my original I didn't explain that very well Embarassed

Hopefully someone can confirm if they are the right ones and as soon as its all finished pictures will be posted Thumbs Up

Ady spot on that is the guide I followed when I fitted mine works perfect

Thanks for the comments guys.

I took it to an auto electrician who told me it wouldnt work? But thanks alot for the above how to guide I'm going to try the rear lights tomorrow.

Does anyone know how to do the front headlights? or is it just the same as the rears?
