LED Downlights in the tailgate.
Well Since we did some home reno's I have had some left over downlights in the shed..........so I put them in the tailgate of my Heep -beats tripping over them.
No way I was going to go with the 50watt halogens, the factory loom wires I tapped into could not handle 100w of power. Even if they could the battery drain would be horrendous (push starting autos is literally a non starter).
So I ordered 2 wide angle (120*) 78 led M16 bulbs from china on ebay $26 delivered Ebay #310217506689.
Very happy with it lights up the whole area like day.
No flash on either photo.
Even with buying the lamp holders for $6 bucks each it is alot of light where you need it for less than $40, well worth it IMO.
