Legality of additonal reverse lights
I would like to add a reverse spotlight (100W Hella) to the rear of my GU but am not sure if its legal in NSW.
Can anyone offer some advice?
** The plan is to tap onto the current reverse light and wired to a relay and a 3 way switch. Light will be mounted in centre of spare wheel.

Success The fridge and fan have been in operation for 24 hours now. With the fan the fridge temp does get pulled down alot quicker. Below is a couple of piccies of the converter with heat sink added and box cut and drilled to promote airflow. Thanks to Dooley, Scott and drivesafe for the pointers. ...

Makes sense to me scott. Check to make sure everything is orientated correctly and all joints are good and not 'dry'. There is also the possibility that with the dodgy bridge your 7812 may be stuffed, although they are usually pretty solid. edit: Another thought, just musing, I'm a little tired so ...

Double check your bridge rectifier (the four diodes connected to the AC.) I suspect one or more diodes is wired incorrectly, so the compressor sees a short at some point in the AC cycle. Or I could be completely wrong again. :D That did the trick but not for long... the fan ran for 2 minutes before...

If you want it to come on and off with something in the fridge then add a relay in.

-- Thanks to Madmac for the heads up on how to dismantle the fridge. In answer to your questions from the other thread: 1) When the fridge dial is set at 5, it does cycles. 2) No idea how long it took to reach the -9.6 celsius reading when dial is set at 5. 3) The evaporator plate (the white ring pl...
