[AT] photo finish

[Dick Day]

John, speaking of lights...

Last year, one of the back cab lights on my NH broke off as I was going 
through some trees. I ordered a set of LED's to replace the back lights. 
The link below takes you to the lights I bought. When I received them, I 
decided to test them out in my shop. The second I hooked one up to a spare 
12-volt battery, I was nearly blinded. They draw hardly any amps and the 
light cases are very heavy duty. They are so good, I removed my front cab 
lights and installed these and moved the old front ones to the rear.

The amazing thing is that they cost about $23 each.
