Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

Hi all.

I want to modify my pajero's real tail lights in the bumper. See I replace lenses on them like crazy. They brake so easily. Even soft sand will brake them if you reverse and use the bumper as a scraper. Yes i know you are not suppose to but sometimes it is unavoidable off road.

What I am doing now is fitting these round led lamps they use on trucks. You get two sizes and I have selected the 60mm ones. The question I have is does someone know if a brake and tail light must be under one lens or can I use two red ones. one for tail and one for brake next to one another. I have made two plates that is the same size as the original lens and powder coated them. each plate holds three lights. one indicator and two red lamps. They wont brake because they are cast solid in resin and if for some reason they do they can be replaced for about R60 each in stead of R1000(more or less) for the original.

Hope someone knows the answer.

Regards.

Park and brake lights dont have to be in one lense. Just be sure that the parks are not as bright as the brake lights.
Enjoy

Hi Ernie Somone on the forum moved his light clusters out of the bumper completly into the pilars on the side of the rear doors. Have a scratch around and I'm sure you will find it.

Hi Ernie, that sounds like a great idea. Please post some pics when you're done - I'm thinking about making a custom bumper and 3 small round lights each side appeals !

I have a car where the tailight & brake light are not the same lens, so I guess its OK ...

WRT moving the lights to the unused lenses astride the rear door - I don't know if the cops ever check, but its not legal to use only those lamps as they can't both be seen from some angles because of the spare... If you put bulbs astride the door & kept your existing one that would be OK ...

Good luck Ernie. And post PICS !!!

Ha Ha! First time I see this post, and I have just rewired new lights with sockets etc into the side panel with exception to the indicator as the light only has red and reverse.
Made the top part additional brake lights and the bottom fog lights on both sides.
It requires drilling new holes and sourcing light sockets, but, easily done. The holes are marked and if you drill carefully, its a piece of cake. Add new wires from the existing lights and sorted.

Thanks for all the replies. Will befitting them this afternoon. will post pics when done. I have also modified the ones at the top some time ago, but just to be on the right side of the law the bottom ones is going in as well. And the more visible you are the better I recon.

Later.

Hi Ernie I use the 3 in 1 LED light with the rwhite center for the indicator in the middle and the stop light and lightbeing the outside red circle on my Mog and have had no problems from cops or with these liht they do cost a little bit more than the R60 ones take up far less space!!

Here is a writeup with pics how I did it.
