Thanks! Got back in time to sand bags some things and then evacuate. We were not allowed back in for a week due to all the trees and power lines that were down. Fortunately, we only lost what was in the freezer. A few homes were badly damaged but most got lucky when it came to trees falling. Also, landfall timing changed a bit and it came in at low tide instead of high tide as predicted. Thanks for asking.

Well, i tried the Model A lights in every position imaginable but did not like any of them or there were interference issues. This is what I went with along with a single motorcycle light on each spindle (not in photos). I installed an amber led in the lower sockets of the vw buckets also. These lights along with the lights in the bull horns will serve as running lights as well as blinkers. As an added benefit, the headlights actually meet the minimum height requirement in my state.

Finished the wiring on the headlights today. The first photo is just the LEDs, second dims and third brights with the spindle mounted lights also.
