The LED illumination is a boat interior light. I disassembled the fixture
and took out the LED panel, to cut it to fit from the back of the bumper.
Then mounted Pantera glass from the front side and the screws will
continue into the LED flat panel all being held together.
Now LED consume very little current, so the relay blikers does not work
good. Further more, in Sweden we have laws on the use of lighting, even
during daytime. To avoid electrical load of 120W during daytime so I use
the LED lights for it. Therefore I use a slave relay after the blinker
relay that cut off power to the constantly lit LED light to achieve winks.

I'm not a good businessman, and can not look to what things will cost to
sell to the public. If I look at the time it takes to produce, for
example, the bumper, so everyone will think I am rude in terms of pay. In
life, I have tried to produce things that I thought would sell, but it has
just given me losses. At the age of 66, I have decided that there is no
idea to continue to do things that "might" provide revenue to the longer
term. I also think that it's only achievement of the ideas themselves that
are fun. Working on my car is 100% value for work.

Actually, I am not opposed to helping others, I will help of course Peder
with his car, but it is a very special situation in which he participates
and can see with his own eyes what hours I spend. And I ask him all the
time if he wish me to do work on it one way or another. When the issue is
obtained in that way as he always chooses the best way, and he is free to
check that he gets the quality he pay for. But a new Ferrari would have
been cheaper if we say so.

Goran
