If you have an older vehicle, even a Series, the connectors used on the LED's are known as econoseal. If you cut the awful bullet connectors off, you can, with the proper crimping tool (which is not expensive), crimp on the econoseal connectors required. I've actually changed all of the bullet connectors on my Series III to econoseal from bullets, not just the connectors for the lights, and the connections are far better and more dust, water, and vibration resistant - important if you do expeditions in Africa like myself.
Bought wipac rear lenses and really disappointed...couldn't stop water ingress and ended up just drilling a drain hole in the lens body to drain. Not recommended.
@@LRLiveUK Yes the original style with original bulbs. Even used Captain Tolleys creeping sealant where the coloured lens meets the black plastic, but that didn't resolve them eventually collecting water inside....
Plumbers silicone grease is great on electrical connectors and bulb holders, safe on plastic, stands high temps and pretty cheap. 👍
Great tip!

What about the Waterproof Military lights? Those are really interesting as they're super tough and bulb replacement is just a screw fit on the glass.
Is that the flypress from the original Defender production line?
No but it is still in use to make up MANTEC swing away carriers!

Yeah, I trhink the design has it's limitations. I'm guessing these are the traditional bulb type - not the LED type?
