Previously on rural delivery ... our hero used his "little hat of protection" to shield his precious KJ from the %@#!^!*&$ ... that somehow buy drivers licenses.

I've almost been rear ended twice in the last 6 months .. So I bought a set of amber LED's (54 way to many ..lol) and a controller with 3 flash types for $30. (ebay)

In the front I made two brackets out of square stock from an old satellite dish mount
that I cut with shears, flattened and bent to fit, primed and painted. I "silicon-ed" (really that's the dictionary's suggestion?) the seams and mounted the lights to the brackets. At the moment they are strapped there with milspec zip ties... and if they don't move that's probably how they will stay
I ran the wires through the drvr side footwell access hole... Wired the controller to the cig lighter ... and the lights into the controller. Drilled the most beautiful 5/8" hole that no one will ever see in the back of the cubby hole beside the lighter :happy175: it's a shame too it was perfect. To very small bolts from the underside of the bezel (and through the rubber mat) and voila!
In the rear it was so easy it's scary... I removed the leds from two of the brackets and noticed that they slipped nicely between the frame and the seal, almost like they were made to measure. Just far enough in from the glass and not to low so that they are in the way for my purposes.
So... I just extended the slits in the rear upper plastic molding....so that the brackets would extend through it... snapped it in place, bolted the lights to the inverted mounts and done.
The only other materials were some primary wire and butt connectors :buttkick:
When I first tried them out it was dark and I was in the garage .. nearly blinded myself with the strobe effect .... but in the daylight they are not that intimidating. I need to be seen when I'm on the side of the road figuring out where I'm going next
and it's so nice not to have to climb on the roof to get my "hat"
You asked for details .. and my beer is going down soooo smoothly I am happy to oblige :cheers:
