OK so latest addition to the tow truck.
I found, particularly when we went to Stanthorpe, that we have limited lighting if not around the van.
The solution is to fit some rear LED spotlights to the Pioneer platform on the roof.
I particularly didn't want to start drilling holes in the platform so had a look around and found that the Pioneer platform is like a swiss army knife in terms of what can be added to it.
Pioneer Spotlight mounting bracket $42 each (2 purchased)
Comes as a kit and fits extremely well
To this I added a set of small 18w LED lights from Ebay;
Fitting was easy but having said that I haven't started wiring them up yet........
Pre Mount setup
Fitted, only took about 30 minutes.
And from a bit further back
I am a bit OCD so the button will be in the drivers compartment and I like neat so purchased one of these;
I am thinking I will use 2 core 3mm wire to put the system together going through the grommet behind the left tail light and under the rubber strip on the roof.
The lights apparently draw 1.125A and the 3mm is rated to 10A so the 2 lights plus the damp drop for distance should still have it working perfectly but I am sure there are some out there that can check an amateurs numbers.
Any advice re wire size would be appreciated.
I plan to go under the car up into the engine bay and connect to the second battery as the system will be used for camping and occasionally reversing so I don't want it on the reverse circuit.
