Land Rover Defender 2020 interior & welcome lights explained / upgrades

[@LK-gt1ui]

As other mentioned very easy to do and great lighting. Blue well lights very suave. Note on the nas 2022 110, the back door lights should be flipped from the front of the floor (closer to hinge) while front doors are flipped out as shown from the back (away from hinge). Simon thanks for offering these products to allow personal expression and of course the entertainment is enjoyed.

Got my uprated LEDs today _ fitted in ten mins and the difference is astounding! Well worth the money 👍🏻

Great Information. I too would prefer a Warm White option please...

[@oldselection2012]

Warm white better visibility and more important is that the warm white doesn't attract mosquitoes when camping same as the blue and cool white

Warm white needed for the whole interior please

Oh guys, I have to prepare my screwdrivers for my new defender! :-) (By the way: You guys are my "Have a good mood - day!" YT-channel. Thanks for your ambitions!)

[@LS-cc1wy]

My did not come with ambient either and I do have the footwell lights. I am talking about the dashboard trim lights where the white/grey beam is. If you look underneath the dash trim on the passenger side and each side of steering wheel you will see a thin long cutout where the light would go. I was wondering if they can be added and if there is electrical plugs in there for them. If they can be, I would love to see a video on that. Thanks again, you guys are awesome.

[@shawnpalmer6966]

If you look in the upper part of the dash tray you will see some grey rectangles. These are where ambient lights are if your Defender has them. I am not sure if all Defenders have the ambient lights installed and it is a software toggle, but it's possible. My first edition has the dash tray ambient housings, and our SE has the color changing ambient lights in the dash tray housings.

[@mvirdi2333]

Hi 👋 very nice 👍 I have changed on my Range Rover with white/ blue Thanks 🙏

Do you do custom puddle lights for defender 110?

[@rorner11]

Turning off the lights could help with battery management when on an extended trip and having to go in and out of the car or leaving doors open while setting up camp.

[@L663]

Yes thats true.. the lights are on a timer and seem to time out after a while and when i have the battery low warning the lights are disabled !

Speaking of lights, any possibility that you can fit the defender X rear lights on the “normal” defender? The X ones are white grey and the normal rear lights are red.

Are there any upgrade kits available to swap out the engine, gearbox, transfer case, differentials, interior trim & terrain response to make it look & drive like a G-Wagon?

[@L663]

Alas no but I hear a firm is working on a bodykit that makes it look like a Corsa VXR... this may be up your street ..

[@HQBProductions]

I shall now try to translate the possibilities to my ambient lit Discovery Sport...the boot lights would be good but footwell lights are always off unless the door is open. A red glow might be nice but might not work with my three wire system. 😀😀😎😎😎😎

[@L663]

I would double check your lights in the footwells - at night with the lights on i think they will have a dim glow to them.

[@HQBProductions]

powerfulukltd Will do...maybe partly turned off? The footwell lights glow in my Mercedes but yes..will research and report back! 🤔🙂🙂

[@HQBProductions]

powerfulukltd Hello Simon. Now I have had a good look at my interior lights and no, my footwell lights only work if you open the door or turn on the interior lights and when they do, they are always white and do not change however you configure the ambient lighting colours., The ambient lights only alter the centre console and a strip on the top of the door card at the point where the leather colour changes so for me it is where the ivory leather meets the black. I have the darker red colour choice but I see that other colours can be brighter and send more light to the footwells but mostly by accident. As for door down lighters, mine are under the door mirror but there is nothing in the bottom of the front door card at all but I think there are on the rear doors. I do get some extra lighting because I have illuminated door tread plates. I have made a film of this which I will try to put on my You Tube website after this...if it works I will post a link! I hope this is of some use for product design! 😀Richard.😀😀😀😀

[@simonreader7301]

Hi Are the boot lights the same as the welcome (under door) lights? I want to upgrade the 2 in the boot - and the only 2 I can find are the door lights for a 90. THANKS

Hi my defender has your lights fitted and they are great... put my pivi pro system has been quite Glitchy and I have been told by Land Rover engineer that upgrading interior lights have been causing pvpro system to malfunction have you heard of this ?

[@L663]

I have not heard of this and it is quite unlikely - you can quite easily swap the lights back over and see if this has any impact. When I had my wade sensor issue the dealer was convinced that it was some changes i had made to the car ( lights / Dashcam / etc ) but it was poor connections in the end. Let me know what you find and how we can help.

[@garylane9052]

@@L663 hi yes apparently the guy was having issues with the Radio turning on and off the engineer put the original lights back in and the problem was solved engineer said changing the bulbs is affecting something on the pivipro

@@garylane9052 I know some LED lights have been known to emit some electromagnetic interference which can reduce reception / interfere with radio etc. Is it the real luggage light or the footwell lights ? but please try swapping the lights back to original ( its quick to do ) and see if that resolves the issue. Let me know so i can investigate more.

[@L663]

@@garylane9052 The footwell lights will be off unless you are driving at night when they come on low level, Do you have ambient lighting on your Pivi system ? The other one that could possible give an issue is the rear boot one as this is near the antenna but this light will be off when you are driving. It may be worth disconnecting the footwell lights as the first ones to rule out any issue.

[@DH-sm7sw]

No taking the plastic off is a sign of LR's sloppy quality control; I have found left over plastic wrapping on sill plates - looks like the plates were fitted with the wrapping on,

[@LS-cc1wy]

Can the lights in the dashboard be added if my Defender did not come with the factory ambient lighting? I noticed by looking underneath there’s a slot cut out where the lights would go. I would like to add some even if they were just white without changing color.

Hi - my can does not have ambient... but it came with footwell lights. Are you meaning the lights in the dash trim ?

@@Alisilverado Disconnect the lamps you fitted and fit the original ones - I am sure this is not the problem but Land Rover do not like it when other parts are fitted. You need to disconnect the battery - under the seat and charge the battery - Jump starting the car is not a good idea as it can make voltage spikes.

I love LEDs but LR have even over engineered the interior lighting. I don’t know why there needs to be such complexity for what should be a simple thing. The original Defender heritage was based around simplicity, it is obviously not the market LR are targeting.

[@DH-sm7sw]

Salty Pretzel The whole care is over-designed and overly complex. I have one and find it very disappointing.

[@billtalbottownsville3635]

No because there is no economic ongoing market for new old defenders... great as they are ..

[@FJUH]

Bill Talbot Townsville Toyota are doing very well with the LC 79 series, what should be the Defenders competition. In Australia, Africa it is doing very well. The new Defender is not a vehicle built to challenge the 79 series, it is in a different segment all together. There is a market, wherever industry, farming and off road touring are. LR have just given up!

[@paulsehstedt6275]

I LOVE my Defender OneTen MY 1985: the absence of useless features make it a greater vehicle then the New Defender. There're just too many things that can go wrong on the new one.
