Well, again, it depends. What's your power consumption limit? Size/shape limitations? |

Sorry not to get back quicker. Yes the rear light I want would be behind the back glass like a third light. Cant use tail lites for another reason. Dan is the third light led on your site is all I need or do I need a power pak. I want something I can turn on and make a run then turn off. But me being a dumb butt if I was to leave it on a while it would not damage it. Thanks Ron Parker  I Might See The Lite But It Aint Over Until I Win |

You could run these all day and all night and after a lonnnnng time your battery would run down, is all. The 3rd brake lights on my site are meant to be run off the car's battery and/or electrical system. Just hook it up to any 12-14v source and it'll be fine. |

Dan Size and shape limits... I would guess I would mount mine in the space the old headlights were in. Power consumption 5 amps or less would be great. Also a switch to control it. For some reason the switchs seem to be junk today also.HUMMM Thanks Frank |

Well, what's in the headlamp space now? Some kind of blockoff plate? Can't imagine it's an uncapped "sugar scoop" hole (bad aerodynamics). If it is a blockoff plate, make the necessary hole in it and put that round LED reversing lamp in that I linked to above. Switches off the shelf from most auto parts stores are Chinese garbage (big surprise) these days, but good switches can be had. What kind do you want? |

Got your PM about the carburetors (working on it). Was there a separate one about switches and lights? |
