interior overhead light

forcephil · 01-16-2006, 07:12 PM

Sorry no pics, but for a dome light, I purchased one of those headband-flashlights from the sporting goods department at Wal Mart, and just wrapped the strap over, under the roll bar and back over the top of the light....

Uses AA batteries, so no harm if you leave it on, it is flexible and removable at need, and costs less than ten bucks, and no wiring!

Wow! I wonder what the record is for the most view WITH NO REPLIES! I apologize for intruding on your world, fellow jeepers, whoever you are. Live long and prosper..

First time reading your post....sounds like a good idea. Could you get a picture of it?

Walmart here I come!!

Good old Wally World!! That is a great idea. And you know if you break something on a midnight offroading trip you can just strap it to your head and you got two free hands to wrench with.

LOL. Very true. I may just have to get one of these to keep in the ZJ with me at all times.

somthing funny for you, I found that a book light from walmart works great to clip to your licence plate for a light when you blow your bulb

Ha ha ha. That's... um... ghetto? But hell... whatever works, man. I should've thought about that.

I think I may get a couple of these to use as interior lights:

I used a coleman tent light that i got at target. it has a magnetic back so it will mount to anything metal, works great and you can just pull it off if you need to use it as a flashlight!

I use that same one in mine....works great.....clips easily under the hood, under the jeep, or anywhere for night time repairs.
