New Rear LED Safety Light
World's shortest blog post tonight - just a quick video of Damian testing the newly arrived CREE LED Safety light for the rear of Booger Mobile.
Friday, 1 March 2013
Work begins in ernest...
March the first... only 7 and a bit months until esCarpade 2013... Time to get cracking!!
First task - replace the old, worn tail light gaskets with nice new ones...
Cleaned ready to go...
Voila!!
The driver's side was markedly dirtier!!
Damian's friend Vivien attended Team Booger Mobile headquarters (aka Damian's shed) to give a hand... She's quite the solderer, so Damian was hoping there would be some for her to do!!
First step, remove the old lights...
Damian pulled some funny faces while trying to reach all the cable ties holding the cables in place...
Viv helped remove some of the old lights...
All gone!!
Here's a pile of old LED lights - some might come in handy later, but not right now!!
Damian drilling the mounting holes for the first amber LED light...
Meanwhile, the cow next door demonstrated that the grass is not only greener on the other side, but longer too!!
And the first LED is installed...
Front pair completed, by the magic of the interwebs!!
Before testing, the back LED's were also installed - you'll just have to take Damian's word for it!!
See... told you so!!

What blog post about LED lights would be complete without a video?
Stay tuned - it's certainly going to ramp up from here on!!
