Roof Lights

[AlexD333]

So I am visiting Lazy Ferret on Monday to buy these roof lights :thumb2

I have just managed to get hold of a flick switch and fuse holder for £1.76 :lol

What does everyone think of the switch and holder.

And any ideas for best placement of switch? :nenau

You might need to consider a relay.:nenau
What power are the roof lights?
Do you have the right crimp tool, preferably the ratchet type for the 1/4" faston connectors, sometimes called lucar.

The plier type, should only be used for cracking nuts in my opinion...:lol

yes you need a relay:thumb2

I've still got 2 of these at home if you're interested

They will fit perfectly into the recesses below the speedo

Yes, I have proper Amp and Molex Crimp tools, plus a hydraulic monster crimp that can do up to 25mm!!

I also have the relay here, only needed the Fust as I seem to have misplaced the one I was going to use.

When you come over Alex, I already have a push button switch that you may like instead of that, but it gives you options. Does that one light up?

I've got the same switch ready for when I add roof lights & used the same switch on my last T2 as it fits perfectly to the left o the speedo in either of the 2 blacking plates:thumb2

Does that switch have an indicator light inside?

That eBay link was a bit pricey tho a tender for a second hand switch but I do like the idea. I've used a illuminated rocker switch and cut the rectangle hole in the switch blank.

Silly question, I have the holder, but do I actually need a fuse itself?

And no my flick switch is very basic, only cost 76p or something.

I'll bring it all along and just see what we can muster up :thumb2

I'm looking forward to having some decent lights again
