[AT] Magnetic trailer lights

[Bruce Fallon]

I have a couple of sets of these wired with a flasher and battery clips and
I put them on my tractors when I run down the road.  You can mount them
almost anywhere on an antique tractor because antique tractors are made of
steel not plastic.  I had one jiggle off and break a lens it was cheaper to
buy another set than find a replacement lens.   Yes they are usually on sale
for $10 at Harbor Freight.

Hi Brad, 
	I keep a set of these in the truck and in the trailer for "emergency
situations". See:
http://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?q=magnetic+tow+lights They
go on  sale (for $10.00) about once a month.

told my wife the other day when I had to take off on short notice to get my
son's car how happy I was to hook up and have all the lights working. Way
too many times in the past I'd spend time fiddling with the lights to get
them to work. From the time it was built it had Scotchlok connections
everywhere. And as Spencer said.they work for a while. But for something
exposed to the elements they aren't a long term solution.

heat shrink attached? I'd love to learn more about them as they sound pretty
quick and easy with good long term results.
