A while ago, I wrote that I had ordered a pair of the 18W LED lights. I had thought originally about mounting them on the ROPS, but the idea of them being so close behind me, glaring, didn't seem desirable. I dug out some heavy wall rectangular steel tube, some bar stock, and played with my new little wire welder. I ordered a waterproof toggle switch and some waterproof connectors from China (cheap!) and of course, I needed some red 16 gage wire, and then some plastic wire tubing, the list goes on. I had an old 12V relay, which is probably overkill for a 3 amp load. I am very happy with the amount of light, and we'll see how well it works in falling snow, later this winter, no doubt. I used shrink tubing at the waterproof connectors, also overkill, I suppose. I also made the left light swivelable, mostly because I could? (sorry about the photo mess- I got distracted)
