Can't oblige there as Flickr has decided to no longer show  UPLOAD       (F***ing W***ers)
 :dl_soapbox:
So they pay web wizards to update their sites and so they update them until they are unusable.  :old:

lights

So anyway here are lights working ....

It seems the upload process is accessed via a 'cloud' icon which was only active after I logged off and on  three times.

Light are mounted on the engine bars using armoured cable clips (as other have suggested)
I drilled out the stainless steel brackets supplied with the lights so as to match the holes on the cable brackets. I sourced a switch from EBay and wired up to my Bigpie auxiliary power supply.

Why is this telling me armoured is incorrectly spelt ?

Also note the addition of Kirky Bags and kitbags that I am test loading for the soon to be camping trip to Devon. Seven days to go :lala:.

American spell check? On the other side of the water they spell it Armored.

Nice lamps BTW

Today was a special day. I arrived home from work and l and behold a nice little parcel. A frenzied attack with some scissors revealed this.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-PCS-10W-Bright-LED-Car-Bike-Motorcycle-Work-Driving-Fog-Light-Spot-Beam-Lamp

Square not round....

I'll send him a picture of it being square and not round...
To be happy, I don't need private helicopters,a Florida house or a yacht. I'm fine with my motorcycle,a trip to a forest in Bavaria and some lunch money.

Yes the square one does work.

I had an email today, guess what, he wants a photo of the square light next to the round lights to show that it's square. And a picture of the box to show that he sent it.

I love Ebay. :lala:

I fitted a pair of matching, round, non-malfunctioning ones at the weekend.

Is it a box or a tube, cos round ones would fit better in a tube.

Bucket wasn't looking at the latest lamps, he was staring at his food bin. Very bright indeed Rich, I'm not sure for how long. :)
