    Anyone found any LED's yet that will fit the new bar?

    My bar is only 2mnths old and the standard one have already failed.

      Looks like another project to add to the list, keep us posted how they preform over time - have a concern about vibration causing grief to the electronics within the light unit itself

      Too many projects so little time and even less money

        Changed all the globes today, lets see how long they last.

          I just bought replacement fittings for my Sahara bar as the lenses are looking very faded. These come as a complete unit so while I'm at it I will be putting the LED replacement bulbs in which will hopefully last longer than the originals.

            Bulb replacements arrived today. They look nothing like my previous post (they look even better) I will put them in tonight and post the results. These are nice and compact and will replace 95% of all bullbar lights.

              the indicator globe is actually mounted sideways. i though that a LED globe with side mounted/facing LED's would be better?

              need some pics.

                  Eventually (after 2 1/2 years) got around to attending to changing out the failed bulbs. Spent a good chunk of time pulling the bullbar bash plates off, replacing the bulbs, repairing shitty connectors, put it all back together, only to find one of the parkers has already gone to heaven. Lasted less than 2 days!!
                  Going to get a pair of these LED numbers.. Hopefully won't wait another couple of years before getting around to it.

                    Ordered the LED 175AW from eBay ($44.90 each and free postage) and installed them today - they make a big difference.

                    I've got an '07 model bar, and the back of the new LED parker/indicator light screws straight in to the holes for the old parker/indicator mount.

                    You don't need to remove the bash plates to remove the black holder either. Simply pop the bonnet and unscrew the three bolts from there, the whole thing will then just pop out - and you won't get mud and gunk from your last off-road trip falling in your eyes. Took about an hour all up.

                      my parkers have been gone for some time now. i decided to pull my finger out and get it sorted. I also noticed the normal parker was gone and when i was pulling it out i noticed the dodgy wiring the panel beaters did. looks like ive got a busy weekend ahead!! :-D

                        I got some replacements too but they look nothing like those!

                        More like these but havent fitted them yet, its just one of those crap jobs you dont want to do!

                          Marc. are they indicator or park or have you got that type for both? If it's the parker, it looks a little long? (Hope I'm wrong...)

                            I got both, but they arent quite as long as the one in the first pic, just not flat like yours.

                            Just went to have a look and took a pic.
                            They dont look to be any bigger than the standard ones.

                              Wow, they look like they'll throw out some light! Yeh with those profile shots they certainly look the go.
