Temporary Lighting Solution

Recommended Posts

In order to avoid having to drill some unnecessary holes in the landlords seat pan, I made this SMV/rear light-holder. I took some shelf brackets you can buy at any hardware store, and some scrap plywood which I cut to fit between the seat pan and the seat. I drilled 1 hole each in the brackets in order to accommodate a bolt big enough to fit through where the rear implement light would go. On the opposite end, I screwed the brackets to hold the plywood. I wired everything and must have a loose connection somewhere as I can't get the lights to light up. Will work on that later when I have some more daylight.

Nick, It looks like your missing a ground wire from the lights them self. At least I can't see two wires coming from the lights where I'm at. Those lights are made to ground when you mount them on metal.

Yep, they are 1 wire lights. I picked up a shopping bag filled with many of them still new in their packages at a yard sale for a dollar. I totally forgot about the ground wire. Must be this cold weather that's getting to me. :D

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
