Day running lights

[~Stef~]

Take a couple of side lights from a HGV trailer, some brackets from B&Q, a LED panel bulb, some plastic tubing and a bit of foam rubber.

Cut, drill and rivet as necessary

And youve got some high intensity running lights

 

[~Stef~]

still need to paint the braket and tidy the wiring

Excellent project, show Scottish engineering prowess at it's best. You gonna start a mass production in the garage then?

Do try and keep up Stubbs Stef very clearly stated that they were stol.......er.......fell off a "Trailer" , thats the bit that goes on the back of the big bendy trucks.

I have heard that the "Trailer" is quite often left in unattended laybys whilst the driver goes home in the front bit "AND" that Crane Freuhauf have good quality marker lights.
