USA Storm Chasing Expedition - 6th May 2011


With this much down time (no storms), I can continue to add to my cars modifications.


Hmmmm.. What do we have here?


I see some holes in the car deco.


I see screws (nylon ones)....


Oh... A bracket.. I wonder what goes here..


This was HELL.... It took over an hour to do this.


All my tools are in Sydney, and I don't want to acquire new ones that will only be used once.


I used a screwdriver/drill for $12.99 (Great Value), and a Hex/Drill bit set for $6.99 (A Bargain!)


It was a little messy though.


After around 3 hours, these are done...


More cables... what else is in the box?


Nice wiring...


Very clean work...


So... What am I mounting?


Can't tell you yet..


Attaching the Anderson Power Pole connectors.. (Great little devices these)


AHA...  It's an emergency light..


With an angled mounting bracket.


Very nice...


That's two mounted... All I need is power..


These lights are made by Tomar Electronics in the USA.. 12 Leds Each, VERY BRIGHT...
The lights draw on average 1.6 Amps @ 12V Each... (That's a lot for LEDs)


Excellent.


OMG... what a mess.


Ahhhhh.. That's better.


Very clean soldering work here.


12.68 Volts.. Very good..


Testing the light.. (I touched the terminals together accidentally and blew the fuse)


The 7 Way Power Splitter, Rated @ 45 Amps


Looking Nice.. 


Let's test the switch shall we?


OHHH.. Beautiful.. (Damn I'm a nerd).... Although you have to admit... This is very clean work.


Perfect!


These are really going to protect people rear-ending my car on the highways in low visibility..
