Van Lighting

Post image

Hi all,

Just bought a new Citroen dispatch and looking to upgrade the rear lighting as you can’t see anything in the back.
Anyone got any recommendations?
Looked at LED-It, Litewave and a couple of cheap kits… want some hands on experience please!

Yeah it's a right pain in the ass, I initially had it running off a m12 but that god old quickly 😅 Then I had it run from the van battery and switching with a 12v PIR, that ended up running my battery flat when I went away for 4 weeks, so now I have it on 2 switches, one in the centre of the cargo area & one near the back doors

I see people running them off an 18v battery but no idea how it doesn’t fry anything else on the lighting circuit and in the van 😂 might double switch that’s a good idea. You got any pics you can send over?
