I use 24volt led bulbs as the 15 volts boost from the alternator kills the 12 volt ones after a few months.
They start flashing like a strob light.
The 24volt ones I currently have are over 5 years old

Cheers Flapper, I couldn't make sense of the fact that any LED put into my RRS interior light started to flash after a few weeks, yet in my D4 they have all been OK.
24v for me from now on.

Plus 1 @flapper
Very interesting with regards to voltages , as indeed while looking through bulb after bulb yesterday many would state 12vdc , but finally found these which stated 12-18volts , whether there any good will be another sorry but reviews don’t seem half bad, plus haven’t got the metal casings
High Brightness
● Emitted Color: White / Red / Blue / Green / Pink (Purple) / Ice Blue / Yellow
● DC 12V for replacing regular Instrument Panel / Dashboard Gaug (May Vary depending on the vehicle models)
● Long life span
● Plug and work directly
● Base :T10 194 168 #555...
●LED Qty: High Power Led (Two sides each 4 chip)
● Endurance Voltage Range: 10~18V
● LED current regulator added please do not compare our item with other low quality Made in China products
● Real Consumption Wattage @ 12.8V Approx.= 3.5W~4W
Alas couldn’t find any bulbs that were cool white that had a 12-18 Vdc range
Great regarding the info on 24vdc , to be honest didn’t realise they could be used, many thks for the heads up @flapper

Never experienced issues with 12v LED in my D3
I use these Philips X-TremeUltinon LED W5W-T10 12v rated….. they last since 2 years now.. had no problems in my Saab either….and that one was equipped with them 5 years ago and still drives with them..
Note; i try to a avoid cheap chinese stuff… On amazon and ebay a lot, i mean a lot chinese sellers disguised as “western country” seller..
If i needed cheap, I should’t drive a Land RoverBest regards
