I have just removed the indicator and spot light fitted to my ARB bar. What an ass of a job. Had to remove the spotlight to get the stuff out, not a quick and simple job - poor design perhaps. Have to do the other side too as the park light bulb has blown too and want to do it once and not again for a very long time...
The spot light on this side is cracked so needed replacing and the indicator holder isnt working (park light works - but bulb had blown). Has power to the connector, power to the holder, but if I put in a bulb it doesnt work at all (yes swapped a new bulb in too just incase).
Is there a better long life alternative to the std setup (LED etc) or am I stuck with the bulb style and where do I get the holders from? Lighting supplier, local Chch ARB supplier?

Re: ARB sahara bar lights
We had a customer make a plate to fit where the std ARB indicator/park unit goes and mounted sealed LED marker lights, this worked well!

Re: ARB sahara bar lights
Went to repco and got some LED indicators (from the trailer section) and will get some side light ones later on. 20 odd bucks each.
I got some 1 inch stainless strap about 1mm thich, drilled it to suit the LEDs and screws for the old light fitting. Not pretty but it will work until I get some thin panel steel to tidy things up. Got a WoF coming up so needed to do something quick and will sort things properly later (probably be years - LOL).
Pics to follow maybe.

Re: ARB sahara bar lights
Finished.
Not pretty just yet (needs refining - Later).
All up costs 80 bucks. Yeah probably more than replacing the housings with new ARB ones, but these are sealed, water proof LEDs so I am happy to pay a little extra for a long term solution.
Oh yeah the ARB connectors suck big time. The Spade connector / wire had poor connections and intermitant faults. Will leave it for a while and then hard wire them in and remove the crappy connectors.
Does anyone want some indicator housings and lenses? Flick me a donation towards my LEDs and they are yours. The connectors are missing though and I cant guarantee the fittings work properly, but the lenses are fine...
