Hi All,
Can't seem to find the post relating to fitting LED Brake Light Bulbs but was wondering has anyone any experience in fitting LED Brake light bulbs to the Discovery 3...??
Maybe it's not possible given the light filiment housing but just a thought on my part for a simple mod...??
Do LED's cause trouble for fuses in this case...??
Looking forward to your feedback....
Cheers...

No problem fitting rear LED's - a lot have got them, me included.
Some designs were causing interference with the radio. Not had this myself, despite mine being the same model from the supplier that some had problems with.
Fuses? No issue there either. Current draw is a lot less, so there would have to be a short to blow the fuse, they're not going to go due to overloading. I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

I've got LEDs similar to the B773 shown here: http://www.speeding.co.uk/acatalog/Hot_Spo...ights.html
Speedinguk have a good reputation for quick delivery and customer service. 
I won't recommend ultraleds.co.uk as although I've had no problems with 2 years use on the brake LEDs, the customer service from the company is utter cack and several people on here, myself included, have had problems with their returns policy on other LEDs, leaving us out of pocket. 
More on why Ultraleds.co.uk is utter rubbish here: http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/post342875.html#342875 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Off topic but what bulb is used on the D3 front indicator?
I have adaptive xenons if that makes a difference
