Re: Can i fit these?
Terra Wagen is now selling some with brighter more powerful LEDs. I have the first generation and they work great for me. I have them wired to my parking lights but you can wire them as DRL also.

Re: installing solar power in a westy
After a summer filled with sun and rain, I was able to make a video showing my solar set up. My first vacation was a mixed bag of cold nights and on and off rain/sun. I did not have the best position for my panels to collect enough of a charge to use all that I wanted to run. In the end I added an a...
