Interesting idea. How will you get it to shine down on the road since it is so close to that long flat hood?

I would agree that it would be too close to the hood and not illuminate the road very well.

worked on wiring all week , well until Thursday....



when the truck tried to blind me when I stripped the end of one of its wires by slamming the wire strippers into my face
my eye hurt for 3 days and was very blood shot

it is perfectly fine now it looks like nothing ever happened to it

I don't know how I missed most of your build, but I just caught up! Tell me about your Pertronics ignition, will it work with 12 volts?
