Guys i have a 95 disco and when i use my turn signal only the lights in the bumper work, my friend has a 97 and his work in the bumper and in the taillight on the truck...Is my model supposed to blink in both the lenses or just the bumper lens?

By Tate on Thursday, June 21, 2001 - 04:47 am: Edit

Both are supposed to blink. Check your bulbs/fuses.

i checked my bulbs..they are good so i guess its a fuse ill check

It is different from model year to model year. I believe the 95 only has blinkers in the bumper. In any case, if you have a blown fuse, the blinkers would not work at all.

Gabe,
I dunno if this is your problem but I have had them go in such that the bulbs are ok but the little plastic holder things don't make contact so they don't work.

All,

Prior to 96, blinkers lights where only placed in the bumper. If you take a close look at a 96.

However, if you want the upper blinkers, there is a spot for the bulb. There should be a plastic punch out in the light houseing. Get the bulbs and the bulb holders and they instert right in. The wiring is already in place.

Then if you are really ambitious, you can buy the >96 lenses.

oh by the way i sunk the ass end in a creek a few weeks ago...just thought i would let you know

By James S. (Shack) on Thursday, June 21, 2001 - 05:19 am: Edit

What's missing.

If you take a close look at a 96 you will notice that there are amber lenses on the upper lights, where as there are no amber lenses on a pre 96......

By Jeff on Thursday, June 21, 2001 - 05:23 am: Edit

Anyone know where you can get bulb holders?

I would think this would not have to be a LR part, seeing as how all cars use the same kind of bulbs. You don't have to have the same kind of wiring plug in, if you needed to it would be worth the $ you save by not buying LR to splice the wires.

well yesterday when i took the lens out to replace a brake light i noticed theyre were three lights in each housing ..one for driving/brake,one for the fog..and one un accounted for in which the bulbs are all good on both sides??????

By lynden on Thursday, June 21, 2001 - 06:00 am: Edit

Along the same lines, the '96 we just bought has either a wire or bulb mixed up. On the left rear when you hit the brakes the dim bulb iluminates. When the headlight are turned on the bright bulb lights up. I haven't gotten back there because we have jump seats and I'll have to pull one out to get in there. Does anyone know off hand what's in there. Is it a two way bulb that's probably in backwards or are there two bulbs in there, that way the wires might be crossed? Anyone know.
Thanks,
Lynden

EEEK! There are no blinkers in 94 and 95? How would these poor saps fit a bumper like one from $G. That stinks.

The jump seats have an access door in the panel, just pull the seats our and you will see an access panel to the back of the lights.

By Tate on Thursday, June 21, 2001 - 06:34 am: Edit

I stand corrected on the lights. 94-98 discos: so alike, yet so different!

By Jon Williams (Jonw) on Thursday, June 21, 2001 - 06:46 am: Edit

Jet, sounds like normal. You have the brake/running light up top, a blank space, the back-up light, then the rear fog light.

I also have a '95 with the bumper only blinkers. But a bulb put in the blank spot (where the "winker" is on '96-on) will blink because the contacts exist/wiring is connected? I'd never thought to try because I figured no bulb, no wiring. But that's good news if it will work! Guess what I'm gonna try this afternoon

By lynden on Thursday, June 21, 2001 - 06:48 am: Edit

Jeff, I saw that access panel. I was just wondering what was in there. I'm thinking it's one of those two way bulbs that if aren't put in the right way they're backwards. But maybe its just the power wire to each socket. It sounds like it'd be hard to tell though unless you had a '96 and had been in there yourself. It's funny that '95-98 the lights are all different. I followed the wife over from Seattle when we bought it and I must say, I LOVE the dual turn signals. It's so european and distinguishes our rigs from the run of the mill. Thanks for your help.

94 and 95 ONLY have rear blinkers in the bumper, not in the body lights. 96> have them in the bumper AND the body lights.

By James S. (Shack) on Thursday, June 21, 2001 - 09:13 am: Edit

Jon,

Yes, it will blink. I was messing around in there and noticed the blank spot. Moved a bulb and walla! blinker. Two choices, buy the bulbs and the holders or just move the foglights (same bulb different location). I don't happen to use the foglights very often anyway.

James

By Jeff on Thursday, June 21, 2001 - 09:23 am: Edit

Were the rear foglights an option?

I don't have any, I don't think.

By Jon Williams (Jonw) on Thursday, June 21, 2001 - 09:31 am: Edit

Jeff, lefthand row of buttons on the instrument cluster shroud, second button down (?) the one with the ~/~D on it. Headlights must be on to work. Those are your rear foglights. And thanks for the bulb move tip, James, as I don't use my rear fogs much either.
