Lighter .... Patrol

Post by Vaatjie »

I made my Patrol alot lighter this weekend. I installed two camplights. One at the back on the big barn door and one just under the rear view mirror. Check out the pics :woo:

This light gives enough light to work at the back of the Patrol. I can also see a lot better in my fridge.

Dis baie slim. Dis oulike liggies daai Vaatjie. Sun sensors en al. Baie netjies.

Ek het my interne dakliggies met 5 LED's voor en 6 LED's agter vervang. Baie helder en gebruik min krag!! :thumbup:

Sorry Vaatjie. I should have been clearer. I know about the cool camping lights that you make, but I would like to look into changing the bulbs inside the existing dome lights to LED technology.

Discussions regarding LED replacements for the bulbs of the existing dome lights have been moved here.

Apologies for abusing your thread, Vaatjie.
