Then become a trucker. 10 hrs OT is considered a short week. Personally, I'm averaging 15.

And as much as I joke about not having OT, I still achieve it. I have over 200 hours of OT in just 4 months.

well I need to find another mounting option for my 2 t-3s on the golf cart... I cant drill holes in it.... the 5lb double sided sticky tape didn't hold the less than 1lb lights....
magnets wont work cause the bracket is aluminum. I don't know about the cart. my next thing was to use tape on the magnets then to the cart if it isn't aluminum....
the guy who put the new front end on it opened the door to my office and said "are these yours" and threw them at the desk...
apparently "one of them hit me in the head... the only thing holding it on was the zip ties"
but yet it stayed on for 3 days before it moved? I call bs, but will try another route in case...

I finished most of my night driving lighting install. Left to right - 130 watt Rally 800 stainless flood, two PAR46 Whelen spotlight bulbs in Warn stainless housings, and a 130 watt Rally 800 stainless spot.

Well I'm glad you are ok... now the second most important question.. how many blinkies were harmed?

It was the back quarter panel, the only lights installed at that level back there are a pair of t6's on the license plate bracket. NO lights were harmed in the incident.
But depending on how they have to do work to fix everything, I probably have to uninstall them along with the main cable that runs through the underneath.

I switch the one from a "front mount" CN to a "rear mount" CN, and now it doesn't flash all blue like its supposed to...
i can get it to flash 3 blue/1 white (with the white being in various spots), 1/2 blue 1/2 white, 3 white/1 blue (with the blue being in various spots), all white, a single blue flashing (the other 3 not flashing at all with the blue being in various spots) and no flashing at all but I see the communication light blinking with the flash pattern...
Excuse to get new blinkies eh?
I haven't even gotten the CN installed yet... lol

I finished the lighting on my tractor. What cannot be seen in that photo is the SOS mini bar in amber that was modified to mount to the bar with 2 center magnets
The lifetime led 24" bar is mounted to the roll bar with custom u bolts with a larger link to mount the light to. The light is switched with a carling switch. The mini bar is controlled by the oem cig plug

if i had a mini gun it wouldnt be..... :angry:
i got to thinking a few weeks back when all this trouble started with the car... blowing computers, random start ups when it felt like it... dim lights...
ive done research on different websites, and most of them had same answers... "bad grounds". well, i upgraded the stock ground a month ago and was still having same troubles. then i got to thinking when all this really started happening...
3 years ago when i bought a red top optima.
this is the 2nd one ive been through in those 3 years. i had it tested a month or so ago and it had 60% life left after 18 months :crazy:
so last night on a hunch we diagnosed the battery again. 47%
so i bought a new battery...
the car started right up, the dash lights quit flashing with the turn signals, and even the transmission isn't "jumping" like it was...
DO NOT BUY RED TOP OPTIMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they went down hill several years ago, and cost way to frigin much to be so crappy. (we have a thread on that here somewhere i started)
So maybe my cars issues have solved themselves for awhile as im literally out of money to fix anything else.

I was thinking about putting them in my dmax but haven't yet.
At work we run Yellow top optimas almost exclusively and never really have a problem

Dang it's not my day. Stung by bee while driving. Oil drain plug completely snapped off trying to change oil on fiance's car. Woe is me. Saving grace is the dealership has complimentary Caribou Coffee while I wait to see how much extracting the drain plug will cost

love how according to a state statute, I am at fault in an accident for "failure to yield to an emergency vehicle" due to lights and sirens being activated. It took me being in the intersection to see him, didn't even hear him because I was shouting oh *&^% when he was not yielding to a controlled red signal that we are ALL taught you must do when operating an emergency vehicle in order to ensure it is safe to proceed. Why even have a course if people don't even follow it!!!!!

If he/she was running hot, the dashcam should be able to prove the "failure to operate with due regard for the safety of others".
