Tim...

Nice lights... they do remind me of the one I used to have in my 88 wolfie.
The light I have like it now in my 89 syncro westy is incandescent though...
I never liked flourescent much... do you?

Otherwise, they are very cool.  I am sick to death of having no light in the
westy... they couldn't have designed the lighting system any worse if they'd
tried.

I've tried velcro-ing those push (moon) lights to the ceiling, but they
don't stay up very well... at least not in the humidity of Hawaii... and,
besides they don't put out enough light.

Still debating on lighting upgrades.
