Frequently asked questions

What is the YWZ10003L control unit used for?
The YWZ10003L is a dim dip lighting control module for the Land Rover Defender. It operates the dim dip circuit, running the headlamps at reduced output when the sidelights are switched on, a feature required on UK-market vehicles of the period.
Which Defender does this dim dip unit fit?
This dim dip control unit fits the Land Rover Defender (1987-2006) in the dim dip and glow plug timer application, and the 2007-2016 Puma Defender from VIN 7A000001. It's superseded by part YWZ10003LLR, the current replacement code.
What happens if the dim dip unit fails?
If the dim dip unit fails, the Defender headlamps typically won't run at their reduced dim dip output when the sidelights are on, and the affected lighting may not work correctly. The module is a common item to check when diagnosing sidelight-related lighting faults.
