Re: Engine compartment Lights
 

BT we talked about these lights a year ago, You had said your friend was making them. Mine from the factory broke also. I bought the ones for a 2004 29, they work fine , but I would like to take a look at these others can you post a pic.

Re: Engine compartment Lights
 

I thought the 'dangling wires' setup had been tested and PROVEN on the racecourse. Mine are that way right now, and have proven to be very durable in that configuration. The only problem is that they flail around some, and don't work at all, when it comes to providing light.

When I started reading this thread, I just KNEW that US1 would chime in with the killer home-fabbed solution.

BUT - completely WORTHLESS without pics. Sorry bud. . . . However I am constantly amused by your ingenuity. Please post pics. Maybe fab me a set. . .

Mine worked fine in the "dangling wire mode"!!! All I can say is they never got in the way!!! :D :D :evilb:

Re: Engine compartment Lights
 

yes, more flexible in the dangling mode.

I would have taken and posted pictures, but to be honest, I did such a great job making them look exactly like the originals that you would have thought it was just a picture of a non broken light. ;) But then again, is there such a critter? :drink:

The more I think about those lights, Who has time to be looking and working on there motors after dark. More weight and less speed. and besides By the time the sun goes down if you have as much fun as we do you would not even be able to see with them on any way. CHEERS
