LUX and V1 installation

Sterrico · 05-08-2012, 08:53 AM

All,
It has been a long time since I've posted on this forum (almost a year, YIKES!). That doesn't mean that I've not been active with the NCC. I've now tracked my car three times (twice in the rain!) and it's been a blast.

Here is the deal. I'm not the most mechanically inclined individual in the world. I'm looking for help installing my LUX lights and V1 (would prefer fuse tap method). I would compensate you for your assistance with the purchase of some beverages of your choice. I live in the Laurel area and would like to stay local for the assistance if possible. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

LUX are a no brainer DIY. The V1 is also easy if you follow one of the DIY installs.

I know. Just looking for some assistance since I have big hands and not a lot of patience.

After you install the Lux, it would be cool if we can compare side-by-side with my recent HPB 10watt Cree install. I'm at the southern edge of Columbia, not too far away.

I'd help but I'm way too far from you. To be fair, this can't be done with big hands. I have small hands it was a pain for me to get them to lock in place.

Where in the DC area do you live? I work in DC so I could come by after work one night if that's cool.
