Dont leave van doors open if....

Youve fitted LED lights in the back,

Fitted these last night,  halfway  through today and van battery goes dead, waited an hour for someone to give  me a jump start.

Lesson learnt .

Lights are great though

LOL, I just bought some LED battery lights from IKEA.  they can be stuck onto the roof so I have 4 - two on both sided of the van, you just hit them to turn them on.
