LED Indicator Light Ballast Resistor kit ( PAIR )
to fit Land Rover Discovery 3 to 4 LED Rear light Conversion
This listing is for a PAIR of 15 Ohm Resistors to fix the indicator fast flash problem on the Land Rover Discovery 3 to Discovery 4 LED rear light conversion.
The original rear lights used normal bulbs which draw more current than the LED bulbs.
By adding this resistor ACROSS the earth and the indicator signal wire this then makes the ECU and flasher unit think that all is OK.
Rather than fitting to the loom side of the car it is better to glue the resistor to the rear of the lights and connect to the wires on the rear light loom this way you are not changing the main car wiring.
We have done some trials and you can get these lights to work with lower value resistors but these get hot so we have found that 15 Ohm is the highest value resistor ( runs cooler ) that can be used and everything works OK.
This resistor will also stop the check indicator bulb message that can display in the dash.
Please note the picture below shows the connections on the rear of a Range Rover Sport light but it is the same on a Discovery 4 rear light.
These are not genuine Land Rover parts.
Please note we also sell the rear lights with pre-fitted resistors fitted and ready to fit - see our other items.
The terminals provided are ideal for soldering short wires to and have 2 mounting holes if required.
