Those who have driven an old Land Rover in the dark and wet, will know the woeful lack of lumens at the front end. Halogen lamps help, but they draw a lot of current. This is fine if you have an engine with an alternator. LGL is still running a dynamo (as designed) so I’m keen to reduce load on it a much as possible.

LEDs draw a lot less current and provide a cleaner, brighter, crisper beam. Classic Dynamo & Regulator Conversions provide an LED conversion kit for the old style P45t bulb fixings allowing classic car owners to step (albeit briefly) into the 21st century

LED lamps employ a regulator. It adds a bit more wiring bat at least the 3 pin plug is a familiar fitment

Next step is to install the wiring kit for the head lamps

With the wiring installed the moment of truth…… put a 35 amp fuse into the fuse box. Perform some continuity testing…. and …. they work 🙂 and for those of you who are interested…. that’s 8000 Lumens.
