Land Rover Defender Front Side Lamp – LR048189

LR048189 is the front side/parking lamp assembly used on Land Rover Defender models from 1994 through to the end of L316 production in 2016, covering Td5 and Puma vehicles as well as late 300Tdi models. It provides the forward‑facing position lamp function, using a clear ribbed lens and a 12‑volt 5‑watt bulb to ensure compliance with road‑visibility requirements. The lamp mounts to the front wing using a two‑screw pattern shared with earlier Defender and Series‑pattern side lamps.

LR048189 supersedes earlier Defender/Series side‑lamp part numbers AMR6514 and XBD500050, consolidating multiple historic lamp variants into the later clear‑lens standard introduced on mid‑1990s onward models. Typical replacement reasons include UV‑related lens yellowing, water ingress leading to intermittent operation, corrosion of bulb contacts, or upgrading from the earlier lens types for improved brightness or cosmetic modernisation. Installing a new LR048189 restores correct front‑side illumination, enhances vehicle visibility, and maintains compliance with lighting standards—particularly important for Defenders frequently used in low‑light rural or off‑road conditions.
