    LED Work Light

    Fitted an LED work light to the back of my D90.
    Had a few L/R wiring issues but with a little Googling this was over come.
    Light works now but will wait for night to see the effects.
    Light is 10W, it is looped into the factory rear work light switched on the dash.

    Cheers
    David

    I have only work lamp which disperses the light, but this projection lap looks very interesting.
    Could you provide a model or link to the source?

    mzs,

    This light is just a 10watt spot rather than a flood light. Purchased on line.

    Cheers

    10W is a good choice for LED work lights.

    Hello David,

    I reckon that you made the correct choice with a 10W work light. I fitted an 18W LED work light to my Defender 110 but it is actually too powerful. It throws such a bright light that it is uncomfortably bright whan you are working close to it on a dark night. I don't just mean that its uncomfortable to look at directly (it is blinding) but, rather, that it illuminates the foreground too brightly. If I were to replace it I'd choose about 10- 12W instead of 18W.

    Regards, Matthew.

    Hi David,

    you said you wired this to the factor switch on the dash and ahve shows a photo of the wiring on the reverse light.

    does the switch on the dash light up the reverse light normaly? (if so my switch doesnt work!)

    I have a 2012 D90 and am about to wire in my 16W work light in roughly the same position,

    how did you run the wires to the the roof too without it looking messy?

    Thanks
    Leroy

    Firstly the light will only work with the main head lights on!
    I ran all the wires behind the plastic paneling, does take a little doing to get it back to the light cluster.

    PM me if you still have troubles.

    Cheers
    David
