<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>If you folks are looking for a great interior/engine light set-up, here's one sleek set-up:</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>A fellow vanlist memeber gave me this idea about a year and a half back for my westy.&nbsp; I went to west marine and picked up a Hella flex light (I don't know the official name).&nbsp; They come in two lengths, short (12" or so) and long (around two feet).&nbsp; They mount beautifully on the hachback shelf that spans the back side and totes my jack.&nbsp; I only own the short one, mounted on the left side.&nbsp; I used it all summer for a reading light and I use it on those occasions of working on the engine in the dark.&nbsp; Because it's on a flex neck, it points in every direction.&nbsp; But the flex is stiff enough to return to the neat position.&nbsp; </DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>If I were to add the long one to the right side of the shelf, it would meet the head of the of the short one (on the left)&nbsp;perfectly. (I won't have a digital camera until next week,&nbsp; otherwise, it's kinda hard to describe)<BR></DIV>
<DIV>I have tap the power source from my yellowtop batt.(impossible to run dry)</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>The drawback is that these light are $40 a pop.&nbsp; ick.</DIV>
