Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC3878 instrument bulb holder for?
The RTC3878 bulb holder locates and retains an instrument illumination bulb in the dashboard cluster of the Land Rover Defender (1987-2006). It positions the bulb correctly and provides the electrical contact for the panel lighting circuit. This Lucas holder is supplied complete with the bulb.
Does this bulb holder come with a bulb?
Yes, the RTC3878 holder is supplied complete with the instrument illumination bulb, so you don't need to source one separately. It fits the Defender (1987-2006) dashboard cluster and gives the correct bulb positioning and contact for panel lighting.
How many bulb holders are in the instrument cluster?
A Defender instrument cluster typically uses several illumination and warning bulb holders, so check how many need replacing before ordering. The RTC3878 covers one holder position. If your panel lighting is patchy, more than one holder or bulb may have failed.
