Here's a dumb question that I am sure has an intelligent answer.
I have been kindly given by a fellow forumite a Kaymar rear light to fit to my Kaymar twin rear wheel carrier.
I can fit it to the left tyre holder or the right one both have the mounts avaliable.
Any ideas which one would be better ? and for what reason.
I have scratched my head about this and can't work out which side is better.
Would appreciate your comments.
Regards
John

Hi
John,
Not sure what vehicle its fitted to, but if
barn doors (Nissan, standard toyotas etc...) fit it to the larger door as that way you can still get into the back of your vehicle without turning the light away from pointing behind the car.
When i open my large door, the light is restricted to basically the drivers side of the car with little light directly behind.
However, if on a horizontal tail
gate, may be better on passengers side as you can then direct light on what is typically the verge side of the road when stopped.
Cheers
Captain

Hi Captain
Thanks for the reply.
It's a Troopy, so
barn doors, good point about the larger door, it is used less than the smaller so as you say would retain some light in the area directly behind the vehicle, great point thanks.
Regards
John

Good one Bruce, nice little unit.
By the way the Kaymar one sells for anything between $180 to $220 depending on where you get it from.

Yea you would have to have manure for brains to pay $200 for a $2 piece of pipe with 2 tabs welded to it, and a $20 spotty on the top of it!
this works
well!
